Throughout the event, Ogunwusi shared warm moments with attendees, engaging in lively conversations and laughter that defined the tone of the occasion. One of the highlights came when a specially curated birthday song was played in her honour. As the music filled the room, a cake was presented, accompanied by cheers from guests.
Her young son drew admiration from those present as he danced excitedly beside his mother. In a touching moment, he later sang a birthday song to her and expressed gratitude for her guidance and values.
Speaking at the event, a gospel artiste, Darey Justified, described Ogunwusi as a blessing and commended her impact and spiritual influence. “I feel so blessed to be celebrating Her Royal Highness. An amazing prophetess of the Most High God. A huge blessing to this generation and beyond. She is beautiful inside and out. I want to thank God for the gift of her to everyone in the world,” he said.
Another emotional moment occurred when her sister, Simi, became teary-eyed while expressing appreciation for Ogunwusi’s love and support.
The evening ended with a brief thanksgiving session, after which guests took turns to pose for photographs with the celebrator.
