December 31, 2021, was an auspicious day, one that Omolewa Ahmed, the immediate past First lady of Kwara State will not forget in a hurry. It was the day she clocked 50. However, unlike her peers, who will not hesitate to roll out the drums in lavish celebration of such a milestone, she chose to thank God for keeping her well and alive to witness her golden jubilee.

One other reason why she chose to thank God instead of throwing a party was that she was delivered of a baby boy in the previous year at the age of 49, at a time when most would have given up on childbearing.

Omolewa celebrated by hosting a seven-day praise and worship concert, which ended on her birthday.  About 14 gospel music artistes, led by Sola Allyson, were contracted for the event which was a virtual experience. Despite being married to a devoted Muslim, she is a Christian evangelist and an ordained deaconess. A staunch advocate for cancer care, she runs the LEAH Foundation, an initiative that implements strategies to deal with socio-economic, health and education issues mitigating against the development of Youth and Women.
