”A Star in Every Way
”It is not often that one comes across a personality like Amb Mrs Angela Inyena Anthony Oju-Kienmie.
”Multi-talented and a star in her own right; humble and ever ready to give of her energy, resources and time to others; and most importantly, fiercely determined to help make the world a far better place.
”Amb Mrs Angela Oju-Kienmie’s diligence and dedication to whatever she puts her hands to, were very much glaring, especially during her stay with us at The Reformer Newspaper (led by Nna Frank-Jack). No assignment was too small, or learning curve, too steep for her.
”Even as the Vice Chairman of a local government area, Opobo/Nkoro, she could remember friends. This, in Nigeria, says a lot about her person, humility and strong passion for the good of the next person.
”Author, poet, acapella soloist and an accomplished French language expert, she brings smiles to the heart.
”As you mark a new year in your life, Amb Angela, my wife, Chinyere, and I remember your sonorous acapella in French (rendered as wedding gift to us), and wish you many many years of joy and laughter. We ask that the lines be multiplied unto you in beautiful and pleasant places, IJN. -Kelechi Nwaucha
