“I am approaching 80 and I understand what battle is all about because I have fought so many as a politician for over 32 years. I’m seeing sincere love for a fellow woman. Women are beginning to love and appreciate each other. Women should continue to be happy for each other. If there is anything like reincarnation, I want to come back as a woman.”

“Most of the women here have always struggled and have consistently made it. Mo is an incredibly, unbelievably strong girl. I wonder how she gets her courage, her resilience and I don’t know where she gets her energy from.”

“I am celebrating her not because she celebrated me when I turned 70 but because Mo and her friends, Ruth Osime, Nkiru and others are amazing and jolly good fellows. I am so proud of her and that is why each time I send messages to her , I always end it with I am always proud of you.”

“We should all thank God for Mo. I have never seen a more 60th birthday celebrant. I think she is celebrating her birthday herself. She is so happy and people are so happy for Mo because everybody here wants to dance with and for Mo.”
