Igube And Nkeiruka: United In Birth To Love And Live Together

It is said that in life, there is nothing like coincidence because every incident was arranged by God. Denzel Smith belonged to this school of thought; and according to him, "Coincidence is merely a diluted definition of divine appointments". Following the submission of Smith above, it is trite to say that the birth of Chief Evaristus Igube Eze and his amiable wife, Mrs. Nkeiruka Eze, on the same date was a divine arrangement. While the man, Evaristus, was born on 11th July, 1984, his lady, Nkeiruka, was born on 11th July, 1989.

Years later, the duo of Evaristus and Nkeiruka met in their place of birth, Ibenda village, in the pastoral community of Effium in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State where Cupid's arrow struck and held them together in love. As their relationship blossomed, the theory of coincidence as regards their date and place of birth evaporated into thin air, giving way to a more tangible appreciation of why they share the same birth date, the same profession background and work in the same ministry. When Nkeiruka married Everistus under Ezza Ezekuna custom and tradition and had the union blessed at Holy Ghost Methodist Church, Ibenda Effium on 13th March, 2013, the divine intention of God for both of them was made manifest for the world to see.

For 11 years, Chief Evaristus Igube Eze and his wife, Lady Nkeiruka Eze, who were united in birth, have continued to loved each other and to live together under the divine banner of God's unlimited graces. Their peaceful and happy union have produced vibrant children who, like their parents, strive to make the resilient crave for excellence their respective lifestyles. Chief Evaristus Igube Eze and Lady Nkeiruka Eze hold traditional titles of Omentanta and Oshi-anu, respectively, by virtue of Chief Evaristus Igube Eze's tow-time induction into the prestigious universal Ogbo Inya caste of the people of Ezza Ezekuna in 2001.

As this couple, divinely united by birth to love each other and live together, mark their unique birth anniversaries today, I join the large army of their friends and well-wishers across many social circles to wish them hearty cheers and more years of love and vitality.

Happy birthday to Ogburu-eswi-aku-nkwa and his wife, Oduko lé mba.
