As Nigerian banks were taking up considerable media space to celebrate Mothers on Sunday on a day that Hilda Baci was cooking hard and well to beat the Guinness book of records on Cook-A-Thon, Nigerians all celebrate the sacrifices of love from all the Mothers in the nation.
Good evening lovely people.

Akwa Ibom State governor, Udom Emmanuel speaks in appreciation of the essence of motherhood in his state because cooking meals and ‘motherhoodness’ makes our platform of growth secure.
She is an inspiration to millions of Nigerians, and especially our dear Akwaibomites. We are all solidly behind her as She embarks on this inspirational moment. We look forward to hosting her soon.

Peter Obi was not left out in appreciating the admirable efforts of Hilda Baci on Mother’s Day
The efforts being made by Hilda Effiong Bassey (Hilda Baci) to beat the current Guinness World Record for cooking for 4 days nonstop shows the true Nigerian spirit of hardwork and resilience. pic.twitter.com/s8UmOc12G4

Former US President Barack Obama reminds us beyond appreciating Mothers and mother figures to spare a thought also for those who miss their own mother’s, like himself.
Obama was born of an African father and an American mother. He was mostly raised by his grandparents in Hawaii.
He starts by saying, “Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you take a moment to appreciate all the moms and mother-figures in your life – and be there for people who may be missing theirs.
To
@MichelleObama
, thanks for being such an amazing mom to our beautiful girls. You set an incredible example for all of us”.

Wonderfully thoughtful of President Obama there.
Nigerian banks celebrate people with zest. They also rolled out the drums to celebrate Mothers.
There’s a bank founder, you know. He lost his father early in life. But his young and widowed mother stood firmly behind him, urging him to look ahead, dream his dreams beyond the setback of losing a father. To cut a long story short, the dream of the little child said, Africa Rising ! And the bank he founded rose to the Zenith.
When Nigerians see Nigerian banks taking leadership roles in the continent of Africa, the people beam with great pride.
As far back as 2019, Julius Malema of the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa spoke with awe about Nigerian Banks, “Nigerian Banks are owned by black Nigerians” !
Listen to South Africa's @Julius_S_Malema and learn about WHO and WHAT Nigerians are! In terms of speaking truth to power and courage he reminds me of @MaziNnamdiKanu and @realffk. The future of Africa belongs to US! Whether the system likes it or not WE shall rise! HEAR HIM… pic.twitter.com/IUwDwUZWyZ

That is the first Nigerian Bank to cross the 200 billion naira mark in Profit After Tax in a clear show of its resilience and market leadership with an impressive result for the year ended December 31, 2019, and they keep rising.

Thank you mothers for letting us dream massively about rising, while intentionally rising to the top.
Do you remember who was your very first bank as a baby when you got a little cash gift back then ?
It’s Mother! She keeps it.
“Hey Mum, what happened to all the money you’ve been keeping for me since I was little?”
— Fidelity Bank (@fidelitybankplc) May 13, 2023
Fun fact: Your mum was probably your first bank! 😎#SavingwithMum #SweetaWithMum #FidelitybankMothersDay2023

From Access Bank that recognizes the dignity of womanhood, they remind us in Ghana that in that beautiful West African nation and the copper rich Zambian nation, it is an offence to marry more than one wife at a time !
It is an offence to have more than 1 wife at a given time under the marriage ordinance in Ghana & Zambia.
— Access Bank Ghana Plc (@AccessBankGhana) May 11, 2023
Today, we celebrate the women who gave us the gift of life, unconditional love and support.

We love you and appreciate the sacrifices you made to shape our future.
Happy Mother's Day to you SHERO!#AccessBank #MorethanBanking pic.twitter.com/38ZCXZJvYW
