Story
Her Life
Born in Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria
MARCH 15, 1952
On a lovely Saturday in 1952, in the village of Omukwu Onicha, Ezinihitte Mbaise, the family of Sir Isaiah Igbokwe and Lady Joanah Mekaonyenaja Njoku welcomed a baby girl into their family. She was the 6th child and 4th daughter born into the family. They named her Love.
In African culture, the name a child is given is meaningful and speaks to the life we hope the child lives. As Africans, many of us do what we can to live up to the names we are given. Love lived up to her name, and she did so with grace and grit, gentility and strength, pride and humility, and a lot of kindness and love.
This is the story of Love.
