The duo of Ijeoma Ubosi, wife of broadcasting guru and boss of Megaletrics, owner of Beat FM, Classic FM and Naija FM, Chris Ubosi and socialite Martha Najomo recently celebrated their landmark birthdays.
While Ijeoma celebrated her 50th birthday, Martha celebrated her entrance in the ‘60s club. Both women couldn’t hold back their joy and so they hosted lavish parties to mark their new age.
Before she clocked 50, Ijeoma started a countdown to her birthday by posting throwback photographs from her childhood days. Photographs of her siblings and parents were also posted alongside a message showing her appreciation for their support over the years.
Photo shots of Ijeoma’s children were also splashed on her Instagram page as she prayed for them, thanking them for being the pride of their parents. Another message of appreciation addressed to her husband, Ubosi, was accompanied with their wedding photograph. She narrated how they met in their hometown when she was just 20 years-old and how their friendship blossomed to a love relationship, which later ended in marriage five years after they met.
The mother of three thanked her husband for bringing out the best in her and loving her unconditionally for 25 years that they have been married.
The celebrant, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Kontessa, a fashion store with branches in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt, also extended her benevolence to her clients who have stood by her over the years since she started her journey as an entrepreneur. She gave out discounts on selected goods in commemoration of her golden jubilee.
Although she studied Pharmacy at Bath University in England and graduated first-class, Ijeoma grew up abroad. She relocated to Nigeria when she got married to the broadcasting icon. She worked briefly as a Pharmacist before coming to Nigeria. She started her entrepreneur journey at the back of her husband’s car boot before her business grew to the height it is today.
Martha on her part chose to host friends and family members to a grand 60th birthday party in Houston, Texas in the United States.
One of the highlights of the party was the performance by Igbo cultural dancers who came to thrill guests with their dance steps.
Martha, who is the wife of aviation guru and a director at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Captain Chris Najomo, is a foremost jewelry merchant and plies her trade via her Seraphina Gems LTD, an upscale store named after her sister’s late daughter, Seraphina who drowned in a swimming pool at the Najomo’s residence in 2019. Seraphina was living with aunt but unfortunately fell in the pool and drowned.
