Deviating from the usual ritual, the Adom brands of the Multimedia Group – Adom TV, Asempa FM and Adom FM sought to celebrate adoptive mothers, a category usually sidelined.

In partnership with Frytol Vegetable Oil and Fortune Rice, seven lucky adoptive mothers were celebrated in a ceremony that attracted audience participation on Sunday 14th May 2023 at the foyer of the Accra International Conference Centre.

The lucky winners were selected after a review of hundreds of entries of candidates wishing to appreciate their mothers in an unconventional way.

Fourteen were selected by a panel of in-house judges and put forward for public voting across the channels’ social media handles.

Seven finalists were given the lifetime opportunity of preparing a meal for their mothers in the “Cook for Mum” session held on Friday 12th May 2023 at the Adom car park ,Kokomlemle.

Smiles abound at the venue when participants had to race between making irresistible meals for their parents and beating other contestants.

The participants included Ivonne Esther Ayeh from Abeka who represented her mother, Victoria Yawa Ayeh.

Also included was Rose Kumador from Tantra Hill and her mother, Mrs Vida Beloe.

Celestina Nusenu from Russia appreciated her mother Victoria Mana Azaletey, as well as Faustina Forson and her mother Phillis Gyamfi and Abigail Gbeku, Nsawam and her mother Gifty Laryea.

Males were not left out. Two dedicated sons, Ibrahim Razak and Ebenezer Owusu joined in to make the Mothers’ Day celebration worthwhile for their guardians, Marian Mohammed and Joyce Kissi respectively.

Afterwards they were treated to an amazing experience featuring musical performances from Moses OK, Oheneba Kissi, Ampofo Adjei band and the VGMA24 Gospel Artiste of the Year, Piesie Esther in a great ambiance of lights, décor, buffet food spread, and assorted beverages from Pepsi, the official beverage sponsor.

The special mothers did not walk away empty handed, as they were gifted aspiration prizes from the sponsors which included six yards Kente from Sarvida Bonwire Kente and cooking utensils from Right Best Right,

Also, fabrics and paraphernalia from ATL, Hampers from Access Bank, Frytol Vegetable Cooking Oil and Fortune rice hampers, products from ONGA, Chocho Body wash, OBA, Ellys Detergent, among others were up for grabs.

Moses, who described his mother as a strong fort in his life, said he is grateful to have witnessed first hand some sacrifices she made to fulfill her responsibility as a mother.

Pertinent of them was when she went above and beyond to seek remedy for him when he was struck by an undisclosed ailment.

According to him, all methods of medications proved abortive yet his mother did not relent, rather she obeyed every instruction she was given, even by persons who had no medical background.

He further narrated that his mother exhausted all her money and she was left with only one option – to feed him with soap mixed with honey as she had been instructed by her friend.

“After my sickness got worse and there was no money. She was frustrated day and night and she will be awake all night just to care for me. My mother’s friend told her to grate a particular soap and mix with honey for me to drink. She was so desperate that she had to make the unhealthy concoction for me to drink.”

He made the revelation while commenting on how unmeasurable a mother’s love for her child is, and the extreme they would go for their offspring.

In Moses OK’s opinion, he would not have been the recognised gospel minister he is currently if not for the prayers and backing of his mother.

Piesie Esther was one of the few gospel musicians billed to entertain adoptive mothers for this year’s Mothers’ Day celebration hosted by Adom TV.

She had almost all the special guests on their feet when she began singing her hit sont ‘Wa Ye Me Yie’, but the highlight of the night was when her mother showed pride in her for her wonderous musical contribution.

Piesie’s mother, Maame Afrakoma, walked all the way to the stage to sing with her daughter.

She reechoed the supremacy of God when she sang word-for-word her daughter’s song as she was mobbed by other mothers.

This is one of the few times Piesie’s lookalike mother had made a public appearance.

Though she has not flaunted her mother online, the gospel singer does not let an opportunity to praise her mother for being a strong pillar pass by.
