Introducing a mother
Late Mrs. kikelomo life is an inspiration to all people around here
Kikelomo Christianah AKinluyi was born on November 30, 1964 at Ikere Ekiti in Ekiti State, Nigeria to the loving family of Chief Aro Owolabi and Mrs Esther Owolabi. Chief Aro Owolabi was popular and loved by all and sundries for his wisdom, native intelligence and modest wealth. He married 11 wives and Mrs Esther Owolabi was the last and only surviving wife, herself a gift from her father to Chief Aro Owolabi to deepen the bond of their friendship. Kikelomo had an interesting but challenging childhood given the prevalent intrigues and dynamism of a polygamous family in a rural setting of the 1960s. The father loved and dotted visibly on Kikelomo and her siblings to the envy of other children of their ages and their mothers. One vivid memory she never forgot when relating the overt demonstration of love by her father was his penchant of regularly sewing her new dresses and mandating her to march ahead of him, carrying his umbrellas to the Ogoga’s (King) Palace for their weekly meetings. He was unabashed and unrestrained in boasting and bragging about Kikelomo’s ebony black beauty and preciousness to members of the family and fellow chiefs. Of course, she reaped the full repercussions of this upon the demise of her father in 1986.
what keke represent
Christianah was dedicated to her family. As a daughter, loving spouse, devoted mother, and friend who treated everyone like family, she poured her heart into every role she played. Her love knew no bounds. Her family was her foundation—the source of her strength and the place where her deepest joys resided. It is impossible not to imagine more occasions she would have celebrated with them – the moments that would have filled her heart with pride. Taken too soon, she left us wondering what could have been.
