This
is a story of a proud mother, a military officer's wife whose 3
daughters are serving officers in the US Army, and as if that's not
enough, her son was also said to be a uniformed man in the US. Mrs.
Agatha Benson is that lucky US based woman of substance who hails
from Owerri, Imo State Nigeria. Call her an activist and promising
politician, you would definitely be saying the obvious because of her
undying passion for motherland.
Her
daughters, we were told are all gallant officers who have served in
different capacities, they were infact part of the US combatants that
fought the Iraq and Afghanistan war where they won Silver Awards
while her oldest, Captain Remi Benson now Major had her first stint
as one of the delegates on peace keeping mission during the Kosovo
crises.
Informed
sources spoke to National Enquirer about madam Benson's love for her
dear country, ''she's so much in love with her country, her belief is
to see Nigeria of our dream in our life time, that's why she's always
actively involved in the Nigerian politics, all you need to do is
check her facebook walls and you'll marvel at the kind of information
she dishes out on daily basis, she's so current; most times trying to
teach and correct the excesses of Nigerian politicians'', the source
told us.
According
to close sources, the US based woman who's also a grand mother is the
wife of Captain O.O Benson, a native of Ikoro Ekiti and top rank
military police personnel before his demise. Like father like
children you would say, Mrs. Benson's four children are towing their
father's steps but instead, they prefer a career in the US.
Information
gathered from their mum who's so fond of her children's profession
revealed that, they all attended Air
Assault and Airborne Schools
preparatory for a career in the US military. The good news is that,
another of her daughter, Captain Tokunbo Benson has just been
promoted, she's been enlisted as a Major leaving the proud mother
with 2 Army Majors and a Staff Sergeant in this order: Major Remi
Benson, Major Tokunbo Benson and Staff Sergeant Opeyemi Benson-Walker
respectively.
Mrs.
Benson was so happy that she couldn't wait to show her gratitude to
God by reeling out this messages, read the unedited version
''My
passion for uniformed men and women came from Nigeria Army to US
military. I want y'all to join me to congratulate my daughter Captain
Tokunbo Benson in US Army who made Major list. List first then
promotion comes later on. 2015 was my oldest daughter Captain Remi
Benson promoted to Major. She was enlisted first. I know most of
y'all are confused about my daughters in US Army. They're Major Remi
Benson, Captain Tokunbo Benson who made Major list, and Staff
Sergeant Opeyemi
Benson-Walker.
Their father was late Captain O. O. Benson of Nigeria Military
Police. Old saying like father like daughters. My son was in the US
Army too. My daughters in US Army fought Iraq and Afghanistan war and
worn Silver Awards. My oldest daughter Major Remi Benson started her
first assignment in 1998 during the Kosovo crisis. My daughters went
to Air Assault and Airborne schools. Pls, parents out there with more
girls don't be discouraged. Support their goals for what they wanna
be positively. Girls are as important as boys. My children are from
Ikoro Ekiti, South Western Nigeria. I'm a true Nigerian. I want to
let those who often confuse about my state of origin. I'm from
Owerri, Imo State the Bongo Zone. God has done it again in 2016.
Nigeria youth there's hope for y'all. God hasn't forsake Nigeria
Youth. God is great. Continue to pray for her next journey.
'', in her voice.
