| Mrs. Concern Martins |
The orphanage, which was founded by Mrs. Concern Martins, edged out other finalists, Children of Promise orphanage and Vigilant Orphanage to win the grand prize of N2m, while the first and second runners-up got N1m and N500, 000 cash respectively.
SOSAID entered the reality show at the point where the founder recounted her experience at the outset.
“In the beginning, I was going about the streets with camera crew and those who will help in carrying the insane for me, this made my husband chased me out of the house because he felt I was embarrassing the family even my first son hit me on the face and I slept on the street for eight months when I started the project.
“When I see some schools discriminating against my kids from, telling the kids not to come to school because they are from So- Said (motherless babies’ home) I shed tears.
Sometimes when some kids are picked on the street and they need urgent treatment at the hospital and there is no transport and money to convey them, I would back them and do the walking, at those moments too I shed tears’.
Mrs. Gift Abudu, 44 year old medical matron at So-Said described Mrs. Concern Felicia R.D Martins as charitable and a God-fearing.
Since it began airing in July, viewers had keenly followed the sacrifices made by the founders of motherless babies’ homes and other charitable organisations who nurtured other people’s children without discrimination.
Some of the promoters of orphanages featured in season four of the show include Mrs. Cordelia Nweke, Late Mrs. Irene Willoughby of Ijamido Home, Mrs. Motunrayo Bamidele of SOS Children Village, Mrs. Betty Obiewu of Living Foundation Orphanage, Mr. Oyedeji of Compassionate orphanage, Rev. Deborah Ogo of Arrows of God orphanage and Mrs. Oyiza Adenuga of Oyiza Home.
Supermom was broadcast on AIT, Africa Magic, V-channel, MITV, Kwara TV, ABS Akwa and CRBC Calabar.
