Obu onye ga akpo mama, Nne!

Obu onye ga akpo mama, Nne!

Nnem ihe di nma ka mu ga emere nnem.

Onye oma, onye oma, onye ogadiri nma onyeoma.

This is an Igbo song that evokes the best wishes for every mother. There are deeper reasons why these wishes were ever made.

Bringing forth another human into this world can only be achieved supernaturally. This opinion might be subjective but it’s partly verified.
The changes that occur in the body before another life is formed attests to the fact that motherhood is a superpower. Also, the biological modifications during and after the birth of a human child reinforce the ‘Superpower’ statement hence authorizing its verification.

Love and care are synonymous with mothers all over the world. Right from birth, a child easily succumbs to the mother’s compassion hence the commencement of an exciting yet corrective relationship.
Mothers are known to sacrifice all just to secure the best life for their children. They say “love grows” and this is true about mothers and children. As a child grows, the child becomes more and more aware of the mother’s love and the purpose of that love.

Adaptation is another superpower the mothers are known to have. Mothers live through and adapt to the changes that occur in a child from childhood to adulthood.
Once a child reaches adulthood, the relationship with the mother becomes strengthened and almost unbreakable and it lives on even after the mother’s lifetime. Another love cycle begins when that child becomes a parent.

“I can imagine no heroism greater than motherhood” – Lance Conrad.

From UNTH, we wish every mother, a Happy Mother’s Day and a blissful Mothering Sunday!!!
