Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has expressed heartfelt gratitude to God following the church dedication of her newborn son, Lotanna Haziel Madu, in a touching ceremony held on Sunday, June 28. The event marked a significant spiritual milestone for the couple, who welcomed their first child in March. Three months after his birth, the family gathered at church to officially dedicate the baby to God, celebrating his life with faith and joy. The occasion was followed by a small, intimate celebration with close friends and family, underscoring the personal and emotional importance of the day.
Ruby Ojiakor took to Instagram to share a heartfelt video of her family during the dedication, accompanied by a brief but powerful message of thanksgiving. In the post, she wrote, “Gratitude. Lord, we’re grateful,” reflecting her deep sense of appreciation for the blessing of motherhood and the successful ceremony. The video captured tender moments of the family together, highlighting the love and unity surrounding the young child’s spiritual commitment. Her post resonated with fans and followers, many of whom sent messages of congratulations and prayers for the family’s continued well-being.
The birth of Lotanna Haziel Madu was announced by Ruby Ojiakor and her husband in March, bringing joy to fans of the actress and her growing family. The dedication ceremony, held three months later, served as both a spiritual affirmation and a public celebration of their new life as parents. The event was kept private, emphasizing the family’s desire for a meaningful, intimate gathering rather than a large public affair. The church service was a moment of prayer, praise, and commitment, as the couple entrusted their son into God’s care.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, the Anambra State Government has arrested a pregnant woman, Aniagu Precious, over allegations of physical abuse, neglect, and starvation of a young girl in her care in Onitsha. The suspect, an indigene of Enugu State, is accused of subjecting the minor to repeated violence and depriving her of proper nutrition. The victim reportedly lost a tooth during one of the assaults and collapsed at school due to the cumulative effects of abuse and malnutrition. State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs. Chinyere Esther Onyekesi, condemned the incident as cruel and inhumane, stressing the government’s zero-tolerance policy toward child abuse. She affirmed that all perpetrators will be prosecuted in accordance with the law, and that the state remains committed to safeguarding the rights and dignity of vulnerable children.
As Ruby Ojiakor celebrates her son’s dedication, her story serves as a reminder of the joy and responsibility that come with parenthood, while the Anambra case underscores the ongoing need for vigilance and protection for children across Nigeria.
