Françoise Gaime Gilot, The Feminist Muse of Pablo Picasso


Artworks in Honour of Françoise Gaime Gilot, The Feminist Muse of Pablo Picasso

To me, Françoise Gaime Gilot was the most beautiful and intellectual of all the Muses of Pablo Picasso.

Attractive and expressive and not submissive like the other women.
She was a feminist.
Her refusal to be submissive annoyed him.

I have done these artworks which I am also going to mint as NFTs in memorial tribute to her.

Chief Joseph Momah Pays Condolence Visit to In-Laws

Chief Joseph Momah Pays Condolence Visit to In-Laws

The burial was grand. It attracted many Very Important Personalities, VIPs across the country. Ichi town had never seen such a gathering in recent history.

Chief Joseph Momah (Ajose) was the cynosure of all eyes as he dazzled all with his galaxy of friends and associates. He contributed in no small measure in making the burial grand.

Notedly, on January 4th, 2022, a Lagos-based business mogul and industrialist, Chief Joseph Momah brought to the fore, the essence and beauty of in-lawship in Igbo culture when he led a powerful delegation of family, friends and business associates to pay a condolence visit( Akwa -Ogo)  to his in-laws, the Obimdikes of Umuezeabu village, Ichi in Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra state over the death of the family's matriarch, late Sir Julius Ndukaife Obimdike.

Chief Momah is married to the late Sir Obimdike's daughter, Mrs Ozioma Momah.

Essentially, in the Igbo socio-cultural setting, in-laws are highly regarded because marriage inextricably connects and unites families as one so much so that what affects one affects the other.


It was against this backdrop that Chief Momah, a director of Fairpoint Limited, Marketers of Mega foods( Mega sardine, mackerel and seasonings), Eggovin & Sterling Reserve Whiskeys paid a colourful but powerful condolence visit to his in-laws to mourn with them.

Among high flyers and dignitaries that accompanied him to the condolence visit include  IKENGA Ichi and chairman of the Ekulo Group, Sir Emma Bishop Okonkwo, Chief & Mrs Sam Okonkwo (Enyiagboso), Pharm (Chief) Sam Ubachukwu( Nkpu -Ogiliga), Arc.Tony Nkwonta, Chief Emma Aniakor, Chief Tony Okonkwo( Dream Cosmetics), Barrister Apo Nwankwo, Barrister Dozie Eriobu and Chief Kenneth Okafor (Dofas).Others include Chief Josiah Mgbemena( Okenwa Neni), Nze and Lolo Azubike Okonkwo, Chief Chidi Unachukwu, Chief Nnaemeka Onyeanusi, Prof.Nwadialo E.O., Chief Ben Uluabuike( Bego),Mr Emeka Oramadike, Chief and Mrs Unigwe, Madam Big Ben, Chief Martin Udeaja, Ifeatu Okonkwo, Sir Dume Okenwa Ofodile, Chief Chuka Igwe, Chief Dan (Danduco) Chief  Bennet Anekwe (Ben Gold Ltd). Also in the delegation were Chief Ingram Osigwe (EnyiOha na Akokwa), Chief Afam Ubachukwu, ChiefJoseph Okonkwo (Nwachinemelu), Chief Ezekiel Okeke, Chief Emeka Nmeka, Chief Nathan Okonkwo( Ezeugo), Chief Ossy Okonkwo( Akurienne), Nwakaibeya Ichi and members of Alpha circle club.

A Knight of St. Christopher, three Anglican Bishops officiated at the late Sir Obimdike's burial. They include Bishop Ndubisi Obi of Nnewi Diocese, Bishop Chinweike of Nkalagu (Enugu Diocese) and Bishop Okpala (Retired).
Until his demise, Sir Obimdike  was the Chairman of Ichi Anglican Knights.
