Last Sunday 20th June 2021 the former Principal of Remo Secondary School, Sagamu, Chief Mrs Olufunke Akanke Wilde celebrated her 80th birthday in style.
She had a Thanksgiving at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul (Anglican Communion) in Sagamu Remo, Ogun State, where she is the Iya Ijo. And a reception followed immediately within the church premises. She is a great educationist who has produced very many distinguished Nigerians in all works of life. She was the Principal of RSS, Sagamu for many years. Chief Mrs Olufunke Wilde came to church, with her husband of 57 years. They got married in 1964. Because of her commitment and dedication to Gods work, at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul, she was hugely celebrated by the Principal Officers of the Church.
They include Rev. P.M. Adelabu (Cathedral Chaplain), Rev. Canon P.O Akinpelu (Canon in Residence), Ven. E.A Adegbuyi (Dean of the Cathedral) and the Most Revd. Dr. M. Olusina Fape Ph.D (the Diocesan Bishop of Remo). They had nice things to say about the celebrant. Although the 80th Birthday Thanksgiving was lowkey because of the situation of things in the country, it was very classy, as the celebrant made arrangements for all guests and church members to be served and entertained.
M
any prominent guests attended the birthday party like HRM Oba M. Oyewole Oyediran, the Olulamokun of Yakooyoland, (Ife North L.G. Osun State). The Chairman of the reception was Olootu Omoba M.O. Oyedele. At the reception, many of those who have had interactions with Chief Mrs. Wilde over the years, spoke glowingly about her. She cut her 3 Layer birthday cake during the reception. The 1st Layer was labelled Running A School 101, the 2nd was Being A Wife & Mother 101, and the 3rd and last layer was Living In Christ 101.
Many commended Mrs. Wilde for looking refreshingly young at 80. Many gathered from far and wide to celebrate this icon who spent her entire working lifetime as a consumate educationist, teaching and liberating hundreds of successful, well achieved grateful Nigerians who are today serving the nation in various capacities.
