Is there a phrase for birth month sharers? Or are there couples whose birthdays fall sequentially and thus jointly celebrate such birthdays? None that I know before now but it won’t be out of place to coin a beautiful phrase to aptly describe and celebrate two lovebirds of the love song who have been brought together by fate and love, whose sensational love trajectory is awesome, inspiring and salutary; and who sing love and birthday duet every July. Emeka and Nkiru on my mind!
Call them a July couple and you will not be wrong but the bottom line is that Mr. Emeka Olisah and his quintessentially delectable wife, Mrs Nkiru Olisah are one of the rare couples in the world who share birth months or celebrate birthdays jointly.
So, for the amiable couple, July is the month of glory, and Thanksgiving to the Almighty God for the gift of life, for graces bestowed, milestones covered, heights attained and successes achieved.
Indeed, Emeka and Nkiru’s birthdays were beautifully and sequentially arranged by the creator to ensure a maximum double celebration. So, come Sunday, the 14th of July, 2024, Emeka and Nkiru will be treating friends and associates to a modest all White birthday party at TFC Event place, 22rd, Festac Town, Lagos.
This unassuming couple who God has graciously blessed with good healthy and awesome children will be starting the day in the presence of God with a renewal of their marital vow at the Catholic Church of Presentation, Festac.
Indeed, when God is at the driver’s seat of any marital union, what follows are quantum love, unwavering grace and divine favours. Such is the defining features of the Emeka-Nkiru love story and matrimonial journey.
The birthday “boy” and “girl” are resoundingly blessed with six prodigies as children-children who have exceedingly made them proud academically and morally: Two graduates, two undergraduates and two in junior schools.
As Emeka and his heartthrob jointly mark their special days, it is obvious that the universe will be standing still for them for the kindness of their hearts shine through in everything that they do. They ’re simply inspiration to many. It’s difficult to find the words to accurately describe the incredible humans that Emeka and Nkiru are but let this be known: These birthday celebrants warm the hearts of many every day with the kindness and pure love that ooze from their hearts, and which they exude too.
Emeka and Nkiru deserve nothing less than a blessed, beautiful birthday!
