Yesterday, August 19th appears to be a popular celebrity birthday date.
First there’s Moments with Mo co-hosts, Dolapo Oni and Bolanle Olukanni
celebrating a new age, also Lamide Akintobi from “The Spot” on Ebony
Life TV turns a year older, then there’s comedian AY, Runtown of the
“Gallardo” fame and finally there’s Momma Savage, mother of MAVIN First
Lady, Tiwa Savage. <br>
In honour of this special day, Tiwa Savage left a super touching and
sweet birthday message for her mother, Mrs Cecelia Savage on her
Instagram page. <br>
Tiwa who credited her mother for being her hero recounted her
unpleasant high school days and the role her mother played in making
that period more bearable. <br>
Read what she wrote: <br>
“During my high school days I was bullied for several
years, I would get jumped on the bus, head flushed down the toilet and
so on, it got so bad that I did something drastic and life threatening
because I was so depressed. <br>
My mother was called to school on several occasions and each time she
came she would ask to see the other students bullying me and would
always pray for us all. Of course they would joke and laugh but my
mother was always so calm and reserved and she would take me home, cook
me Naija food (we were living in London at the time) and she would make
me realize how loved I was and how rich my culture is, how beautiful I
am being a Nigerian girl (I was bullied for being African, skinny, dark
and I had a strong naija accent) what my mother didn’t do was fight,
shout or argue with the other girls or their parents (who were at times
very rude and disrespectful), instead she showered me with love and
reminded me where I was from. <br>
One of the many reasons why she is my hero, my role model, biggest
inspiration, my best friend, my mummy @celiasavage I celebrate you today
on your birthday. Anyone that has met you has experience what a calm,
shy, gentle but very hip mummy you are. <br>
The only doromegasupermummy on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook , keek
etc lol I love you mummy, I love you with my soul. Thinking of what you
have done for me brings tears to my eyes. I only pray I can be half the
mother you are to me to my children. I prayed to God this morning to
grant us a couple more forevers. Happy Birthday Sexy mama”
