It was a glorious experience as people from all walks of life gathered to celebrate with Mrs. Betty Chioma Anyanwu-Akeredolu on her 60^th birthday anniversary and 16years as a Breast Cancer Survivor on the 20^th of July, 2013.Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu was born on the 20^th of July, 1953 to the family of Chief and Mrs. B.Anyanwu, Imo State. Now married to Barr. Aketi-Akeredolu (S.A.N). It was a joyful event seeing a virtuous woman who fought cancer for many years and survived it's deadly sting. Indeed she is a living testimony. Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu is the founder of BRECAN (Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria) a Non-governmental organization established to aid women and the general public fight against cancer.

The event started with a lecture from Rt.Ven.G.B. Daramola opening the occasion with an opening prayer, also with the introduction and recognition of various dignitaries present at the occasion such as the Chairperson of the occasion, in the person of Sen.Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of the former executive governor of Lagos state and her husband; Also Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the mother-in-law of the celebrant Evang. Aketi-Akeredolu, the executive governor of Oyo state Sen. Isiaka Ajimobi and his wife Her excellency Mrs. Florence Ajimobi and also the wife of the Deputy governor of Oyo state. Also present at the occasion was Chief Mrs. Solanke, Barr. ‘Keji Ogunwumiju, representative of the executive governor of Ogun state Mrs. Abimbola Akeredolu (Attorney Gen. Commission for Justce), Chief Makanjuola (S.A.N), the Anyanwu family all the way from Imo state, the Aketi-Akeredolu family as well, various commissioners from across the federation and as well members of the ACN now APC political party were all present to grace the occasion and make it a beautiful one.

Mrs. Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu chose the Topic: It’s time to make BREAST CANCER a National Health Priority, and this lecture was delivered by Dr. Adeleye Adisa, department of surgery, Obafemi Awolowo University teaching hospital, Ile-Ife. The lecture was delivered eloquently; addressing the issue of the nonchalant attitude many Nigerians have towards this disease. He also emphasized ways in which this disease can be detected easily at the early stage and various other measures of overcoming this challenge. He also emphasized the need for this fight to go beyond individual battle and the reason why the government needs to intervene in the matter due to the financial aspect of curing the disease; and how many victims have died due to no adequate funding for the cancer operations and drugs. After the educative lecture, various other distinguished guests responded by asking questions and also contributing.

After the lecture was the unveiling of the Mrs. B. Anyanwu-Akeredolu’s photograph; indeed to the amazement of the invited guests it was the photograph of Mrs. Betty after the Breast cancer operation, it was a moment of mixed feelings and thanksgiving as many of the guest shed tears of joy and happiness for her life, and this led to the general donation towards BRECAN in support and aid of women who are cancer victims.

The occasion then proceeded to the part of the entertainment of guests, trust me it was a joyful moment and of thanksgiving to God for the life of Mrs. Betty Chioma Anyanwu-Akeredolu a Warrior and a Victor, a Woman of greatVirtue, a Mother to many and a Wife to ONE. Indeed it was a celebration of LIFE.
