Nigerian quadruplets mum bags awards
Dr Olayiwola Ajileye
The London based Nigerian quadruplets mum Julianah Balogun-Oke has been presented with the
BRF Award for Extra-Ordinary Achievement in the Diaspora by Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, the
Executive Governor of Lagos State, Nigeria.
The award took place on 5th December, 2008 at Victoria Plaza Hotel, London.
This award was a culmination of the effort of Champions for Nigeria (CFN) in trumpeting this true
Nigerian success story and putting this remarkable woman forward for the award.
The event was attended by cabinet members of Lagos States and Captains of Industries, both in the
UK and Nigeria. Champions For Nigeria which anchored the award presentation session, was ably
represented by Mr Akintokunbo Adejumo (Global Coordinator, CFN) and Dr Olayiwola Ajileye.
The hall stood in rapturous applause when this Extra-ordinary Nigerian mother who distinguished
herself by single-handedly raising a set of Quadruplets to the zenith of moral and academic
excellence in the inner city of London, to the wide acclaim of the entire British Media and Education
establishment, despite the prevalence of youth crime, adolescent underachievement, gang and knife
violence which has been associated with people from the black ethnic community.
In presenting the award to her, Governor Fashola expressed how excited he was when he read
about her story back in September 2008 and how with dispatch, he promptly requested his Senior
Special Assistant, (Admin and Strategy) Ms Moji Rhodes, to collaborate with Champions for
Nigeria in facilitating a successful award ceremony in London.
Fashola said he was inspired by her dedication, sacrifice and parental skills and how her hard work
and achievement milestones can be an immense source of positive challenge to other Nigerians,
particularly mothers, home and abroad.
"This is the story of one of those one million Nigerians, instead of the story of crime and corruption,
this is a story of excellence. I really appreciate what you are doing and what you have done" he
noted.
Also remarking was Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi, who could not hide his excitement that, a Nigerian
mother has raised children single handedly in the UK, to make Nigeria proud. He remarked "This is
a true Nigerian success story in the Diaspora, we should be promoting this kind of achievements".
While receiving the award, Julianah Oke, who was overwhelmed with joy and pride that her efforts
in raising good and stable children against all odds is being recognised by her father land. She
quickly noted also the blaze trailing gesture of His Excellency as the first ever Governor to give an
award to an Individual Nigerian in the Diaspora, rather than coming to collect an award from the
Diaspora group.
