Love found one of its most eloquent expressions as Dr. Philips Nto marked the birthday of his wife, Chioma, with a deeply personal tribute that celebrated not only another year of her life but also the enduring legacy of her love, sacrifice, faith and untiring devotion, describing her as “God’s priceless gift” and the greatest blessing to their family.
Nto who was former Commissioner for Finance Abia State and immediate past Provost, Abia State College of Education, Technical Arochukwu (ASCETA) in a heartfelt birthday message filled with affection and admiration, extolled his wife’s virtues, acknowledging her untiring commitment to God, family and humanity while thanking her for the immeasurable sacrifices she has made over the years.
“My dearest wife, Chioma, today I celebrate you as an extraordinary woman, a Woman of God, my virtuous wife and God’s priceless gift to me, our precious children and our entire family,” he said.
Dr. (Mrs.) Chioma Philip Nto is a renowned academic, lecturer and Founder, Dextera Domi Academy, Umuhia Abia State.
Reflecting on their years together, he described Chioma as the stabilising force in their home, noting that her love, wisdom and steadfast faith have remained the foundation upon which their family continues to flourish.
“You have remained the pillar of peace in our home, leading with love, wisdom, patience and unwavering faith in God. Through every season, you have stood by me with strength, grace and selfless devotion. I am truly blessed to call you my wife.”
Nto reserved special praise for his wife’s exceptional role as a mother, saying the remarkable achievements of their children bear testimony to her years of dedication, discipline and fervent prayers.
“I smile with pride each time I hear people address you as Mama Doctor, Mama Lawyer, Mama Engineer and Mama USA Medical Doctor Trainee. Those titles are a reflection of the seeds you have sown through your love, discipline, encouragement, countless prayers and your steadfast commitment to raising children who pursue excellence and honour God in all they do. Our children and I are blessed beyond words because of you.”
He further described Chioma as “an erudite scholar, a successful entrepreneur, a prayer warrior, a loving mother and a woman of integrity,” whose humility, resilience, compassion and unwavering faith continue to inspire everyone privileged to know her.
In perhaps the most emotional part of his tribute, Nto expressed profound gratitude for her countless sacrifices many of which, he noted, remain unseen by the public.
“The best decision I ever made in life was making you my wife and the mother of our children. Thank you for every sacrifice you have made for our family, both seen and unseen. Many may never know all you have done, but I do, and I will always be grateful.”
Describing her as his confidant, source of strength and peace, he thanked Almighty God for blessing him with such a remarkable life partner.
“As you celebrate another year of God’s faithfulness, I pray that He grants you good health, long life, greater joy, divine favour and many more beautiful years in His presence.”
He concluded the touching message with a reaffirmation of his enduring love and appreciation. “Happy birthday once again, my darling Chioma. I love and celebrate you today and always. May God continue to keep and bless you abundantly.”
