On the evening of January 26, 2025, the serene ambiance of Osborn La Palm Royal Resort in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital, transformed into a hub of joy and celebration as Rtn Dr Anthony Ikpor hosted a grand birthday party in honour of his beloved wife, Lolo Chinenye Theresa Ikpor.
The event was a testament of love, devotion, and family values, drawing dignitaries, friends, and family members who gathered to celebrate the remarkable woman at the center of it all.
It was one singular occasion that highlights the essence of sharing love, commitment and affection and in essence rekindling of family ties which most people believe has reduced due to challenges and financial burden in most of the families.
The lavish venue was adorned with elegance, reflecting the warmth and grace of the celebrant.
From beautifully arranged floral designs to the impeccable lighting that set the mood, every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure an unforgettable evening.
Guests were welcomed with a touch of class and hospitality that underscored the Ikpor family’s commitment to excellence.

In an exclusive interview with newsmen, she shared her profound joy and gratitude for her husband’s thoughtful gesture.
“Anthony has always been my rock, and this celebration reaffirms the strength of his love. His care for his family and me is undeniable, and I pray that God continues to grant him health and long life to enjoy the fruits of his labour,” she said, her voice filled with emotion.
Speaking on the new trend where family love is fast eroding, Mrs. Theresa also took the opportunity to inspire women with her heartfelt message.
Her words: “To every woman out there, I urge you to stand by your husband. Be true to yourself and remain steadfast through life’s ups and downs.”
Adding, “Marriage is a 89, and together, you can conquer anything”
“Today is more than birthday celebration but a day to renew our family tie and unflinching love for each other.”
The evening was filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt moments.
The atmosphere was electrifying as guests mingled, danced, and shared in the couple’s joy. The highlight of the night was a surprise tribute from Mr. Anthony, who expressed his deep admiration for his wife and thanked her for her unwavering support and love.
As the event drew to a close, Mrs. Theresa expressed her appreciation to everyone who attended. “I am truly overwhelmed by the love and kindness shown today. Thank you for making this day so special and for being a part of our joy.”
The birthday celebration was more than just a party—it was a testament to the enduring bond between Rtn Dr Anthony Ikpor and Lolo Ikpor, a reminder of the beauty of love, and an inspiration to all who attended. It was, indeed, a night to remember.
As the lights dimmed and the guests departed, one thing remained clear: the love story of Dr and Mrs. Ikpor is one for the ages—a beacon of hope and resilience in a world that sometimes forgets the true essence of devotion.
The High point of the occasion was the cutting of the birthday cake by the celebrant Lolo Theresa and supported by her husband, Rtn Dr Anthony Ikpor.
