"THE TEACHER WHO SHAPED MY LIFE" – GBARAMATUVOICE CEO HONORS MR. EBIKORO LEMON WITH ₦500,000 GIFT

Oporoza, the headquarters of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom in Delta State, came alive on Thursday with a rare display of gratitude and history in motion. It was the 10th Anniversary of GbaramatuVoice Newspaper, but the spotlight was not on the media brand — it was on a teacher whose quiet sacrifices over three decades had shaped generations.

At the center of the celebration was Mr. Ebikoro Lemon, a respected and devoted teacher at Fiyewei Primary School, Oporoza, who has spent more than 30 years patiently nurturing young minds, instilling discipline, and inspiring greatness in his pupils.

In a heartwarming moment that drew loud applause, the CEO/MD of GbaramatuVoice, Mr. Jacob Abai, stepped forward to honor the man who had once guided him as a young pupil. He presented ₦500,000 to Mr. Lemon as a symbol of gratitude, saying the gift was a small way to appreciate a man whose teachings and discipline helped shape the person he has become today.

"Teachers like Mr. Lemon are nation builders. They shape lives quietly, one child at a time. I stand here today as living proof of the seeds he planted years ago," Mr. Abai said, his voice heavy with emotion.

Mr. Lemon, moved to near tears, expressed profound gratitude for the recognition, describing it as one of the proudest moments of his life. For him, this was more than a cash gift — it was a powerful reminder that the efforts of teachers are not forgotten.

Community leaders, parents, and well-wishers hailed the gesture as a shining example of humility and gratitude. They urged more Nigerians to emulate Mr. Abai’s action by celebrating teachers and mentors who dedicate their lives to shaping future generations.

This extraordinary story goes beyond a single man or a single event. It is a call to action — a reminder that teachers may not always be celebrated on the big stage, but they are the ones who build the stage for others to shine.
