WHEN Ex-TV top gal Barrister Grace Egbagbe breezed into the country from her base in the United States of America late last year, he returned with so much joy that one wondered what the excitement was all about.
But then, the lady of fashion and style, who had always been a cheerful person had a secret up her sleeves. Grace may not have been in the country when her mom turned 90 last year, but she did not forget about that big day in the life of the woman who tended her with love like no other.
So last Sunday, the ever ageless Grace took out the crème de la crème of society, first to a thanksgiving service and then a party, to celebrate her mom at age 90.
Writing about the celebration on her social media page, the former Executive Director at the Nigerian Television Authority noted: “It is a great thing to thank the Lord… and that’s exactly what we did on Sunday January 5th, 2020 when a few close friends and family joined me in a special thanksgiving service to celebrate my mom who turned 90 years on April 5, 2019.”
The luncheon party, which was held at the classy Wheatbaker Hotel, was attended by an exclusive small crowd that the stylish lady said did not disappoint.

“It was a fun afternoon as much as it was a sober occasion for reflecting on God’s many graces and mercies. Thank you, my dear friends and family and children who took time off to celebrate with us. God bless you all!” she wrote.
In a recent interview, Grace Egbagbe said this of her mom: “My mum is a loving, stay-at-home wife and mother. My dad was a disciplinarian but whenever we misbehaved, my mum would say, ‘Wait until your dad comes back home, I’m going to tell him.’
That word usually kept us in check. I still remember when we were in Warri; she used to make for my sister and I nice frilly dresses at Christmas and Easter periods. Her soup was something to look forward to because she could cook.”
