The first daughter of the late gospel singer Omije Ojumi has opened up about her family struggles, paying an emotional tribute to her mother as a pillar of strength who stayed virtuous despite challenges in her marital life.
Speaking during the service of songs held in honour of the late singer on Wednesday, Jomiloju recounted how her mother always showed up for her children, even during periods when their father was absent.
According to her, Omije Ojumi’s greatest wish was to raise responsible and disciplined children, determined to ensure they did not repeat the mistakes she felt she made in her marriage.
“She was always there for us, even when our father wasn’t,” Jomiloju said. “Her focus was to make sure we turned out responsible and did better than she did in her marital journey.”
She also highlighted her mother’s commitment to their education, enrolling them in the best schools she could afford to secure their future.
In a moving moment, the daughter made a public promise to her mother, vowing to care for her younger brother and guide him to become the kind of responsible and prayerful son their mother always hoped he would be.
“I promised my mum that I will take care of my younger brother,” she said. “He will be the prayer warrior and responsible son she wanted him to be.”
The tribute reflects the deep bond between Omije Ojumi and her children, despite the absence of their father.
