Nollywood filmmaker Kemi Adetiba has praised her husband, Oscar Heman-Ackah, as he marks his birthday today, June 10th, 2025.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, she expressed gratitude for her husband, highlighting how various experiences have shaped him into a remarkable individual. She emphasised that encountering him, even briefly, would leave one with the impression of a Great Man.
The movie director expressed how proud she is to be his wife and appreciated him for teaching her what real love is. She stated that she wishes everyone could experience how it feels to be loved by him, as he provides safety, healing, assurance, protection, strength, acknowledgement, selflessness, affirmation, sacrifice, and more.
Kemi further appreciated him for carrying them all so well without complaint or guilt trips. She noted that he doesn’t feel entitled no matter how much he has done for a person or a situation.
“Thank you, God, for the life of this incredible man. For the many experiences that have shaped him into who he is today… A GREAT Man.
You can’t engage my husband—even for the slightest moment—without walking away knowing he is a GREAT MAN!!
In giving tributes, some may bring out the true personality of the tributee, and I’m glad I never have to go through that mental gymnastics when speaking about you, baby. I’m a pretty good human being, oh… But Kai!! You teach me how to be a GREAT one every day by just… Existing… Living your life.
I am proud to be your wife! In this life and the next, you better look for me after this one, oh. And don’t wait as long the next time.
My love, my darling, my sweet baby-boy… Thank you for teaching me what REAL love is. I wish everyone could get a chance to know how it feels to be loved by you. There’s safety, there’s healing, there’s assurance, there’s protection, there’s grace, there’s understanding, there’s delicateness, there’s strength, there’s thoughtfulness, there’s selflessness, there’s acknowledgement, there’s affirmation… There’s a sacrifice.
I pray you receive all these things from me, too, as you so expertly teach and share
Thank you for carrying us all so well and without complaint or guilt trips. You never feel entitled, no matter how much you’ve done for a person or in a situation. As you always say, “Gratitude is a burden,” and it’s one you never want anyone to carry regarding you.
Like I told you always, you didn’t marry a good-time only wife. You married a lifetime partner in both the Great and the Good, and God made me STRONG! If you ever need to rest and lay down the heavy sack you constantly carry with such grace, I’ve got you!! I’ve got really strong shoulders, too.
In the meantime, I will always celebrate you because you deserve to be celebrated.
Have the BEST new year, “Uncle O”. I pray God’s Grace never leaves your side. I pray your charm never withers, your fresh, handsome face never wrinkles from worry. May everything you touch always produce gold, may you find favour always, even in the strongest of hearts.
Happy Birthday, my love – From your “Sweet-sweet baby”.
