FORMER clerical officer in the Nigerian Army, Mrs Gladys Asuquo, the mother of celebrated singer-song writer-producer, Cobhams, has won the Supermom celebrity edition.

She was adjudged winner of the show after amassing the highest votes by fans and followers among the ten finalists. Thus, Mrs Gladys would be presented N2m cash prize at an elaborate ceremony later in the year, which she is expected to donate to a charity of her choice. She would also be treated to an all-expenses paid trip to Dubai. Fuji music star, Abass Akande Obesere’s mother, Taibat Omobonike, emerged first runner up while Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment debutante rapper, Skales’ mother, was second runner up. They are expected to be on the all-expenses paid trip to Dubai while also getting N1m and N500, 000 cash respectively which would also be donated to a charity of their choice. Other runners up are Julius Agwu and Tony Tetuila’s mothers, who would get an appreciable cash prize too, the organisers, Digital Interactive Media, have announced.

A recap of Cobhams’ story was broadcast during the announcement last weekend. Cobhams isn’t just one of the most talented young men in the Nigerian music industry with a remarkable record of success in his chosen career, he is also a conqueror; having won several battles including that against congenital blindness. Viewers would recall the tear-filled and intriguing story of how a blind kid turned his disability to a success story.
