Prior to the Memorial Symposium and the launch of the Celestine Ukwu Memorial Foundation on May 7th in Enugu, Barrister Cynthia Ukwu, the sole child of the legendary highlife music icon Celestine Ukwu, accompanied by esteemed journalist Fred Iwenjora, paid a touching visit to the renowned Gentleman Mike Ejeagha at his home in Abakpa Nike.
The encounter was marked by a profound wave of emotions. As Emmanuel Ejeagha, the first son of the legendary Gentleman Mike Ejeagha, introduced Barrister Cynthia as the daughter of the late Celestine Ukwu, emotions overflowed. Overcome with sentiment, Gentleman Ejeagha was moved to tears, prompting his guests to sing and dance to one of Celestine Ukwu’s songs to calm the heartfelt moment.
The deep emotions can never be recreated and serve as a testament to the bond shared between the two highlife music legends.
The Celestine Ukwu Memorial Foundation, during its launch, honored Gentleman Mike Ejeagha with an award, acknowledging his significant influence and mentorship in the life and career of the late Celestine Ukwu
Indeed, the great Celestine Onwurah Ukwu was profoundly shaped by the wisdom and guidance of the living legend, Gentleman Mike Ejeagha.
