THISDAY Staff, Iroegbu, Wife Dedicate Twin Daughters After 8 Years Of Marriage

It was thanksgiving and praises to God on Sunday as the family of Mr & Mrs. Senator Iroegbu, of THISDAY Newspapers, dedicated their twin daughters, Olaedo and Olamma, at the Holy Ghost Arena of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Utako, Abuja.

Speaking during the thanksgiving and dedication service, former Defence Spokesman, who is also a pastor of the church, Major General Chris Olukolode (rtd), advised parents to raise their children in a Godly manner.

Olukolode, who chaired the ceremony, said parents had an obligation to bring up God-fearing children, who will grow up to become responsible citizens.

In his testimony, Iroegbu who also celebrated his survival from the Boko Haram attack on the Abuja offices of THISDAY in 2012, said that his family waited eight years for the birth of the girls.

While re-counting the challenges his family went through, he called on couples to always be patient in times of troubles and believe and trust in God at all times.

Iroegbu decried the fact that women are not appreciated for the pains they go through in the process of childbirth and vowed to institute an annual programme that will focus on maternal health.

Friend and family as well as colleagues of the couple were on hand to share in their joy and prayed for God’s guidance and protection on the children and the family.
