Nigerian writer and public commentator, Solomon Buchi, has publicly honoured his stepmother in a touching post celebrating her special day.

On Tuesday, July 16, Buchi took to social media to mark both her birthday and her wedding anniversary with his father. He used the moment to express deep gratitude to her for the love and care she has brought into their lives.

According to him, she has played a big role in his father’s healing journey after losing his first wife. Buchi appreciated her for filling the space left behind and bringing love back into his father’s life.

He also didn’t leave out how she has treated him and his siblings with the same warmth. Buchi thanked her for embracing all of them as her own, and for being a steady support in their family.

His message was not just a birthday or anniversary shout-out—it was a heartfelt tribute to a woman who helped mend a broken family with love and care.

“It’s my dad’s marriage anniversary and his wife’s birthday. Happy birthday to the woman who took my father’s widowed heart and gave it some loving. It’s one thing to find love as a young person, but it is another to find love again in your 60s after watching your spouse pass away. Thank you for caring for him; thank you for loving us and taking us as your own! Happy birthday, mama! Happy marriage anniversary too! We love youuuuuuu!,” he wrote.
