I have known
Kate for many years and if I were to write a book of instructions using Kate as a
guide, I wouldn’t have been able to describe her better than my Boss Fidelis
Duker.
This is what he wrote:
This is what he wrote:
Happy birthday to my sister from another mother!
An epitome of humility, kindness, compassion and love. The one I call offiong.
A distinguished thespian, the first nollywood actress to win the award for
upcoming actress in 1995 for the film WHEN THE SUNSET at the maiden edition of
the THEMA awards which incidentally was Nigerians first movie award put together
by the duo of Kunle Bakare and femi akintunde johnson (FAJ) of the celebrity
softsell FAME. She was to return in 2008 at the AMAA awards to win best actress
in a leading role for her scintillating performance in "stronger than
pain" alongside Nkem owoh. What you cannot take away of this talented TV
host, actress, mother, politician, social worker and philanthropist is her
commitment to anything she puts her mind to do. I can vouch that her, her word his
bond. Offiong could be very stubborn at times and that's why we call her
"tom boy" however, give it to her she's is respectful and always
ready to fight for the oppressed. Ageless former model who did a couple of
national TV commercials in the late 80's and returned years letter to be the
brand ambassador of several products and organizations. What you can't take
away from her even as she ages gracefully is her completive edge with the
younger ones which is lacking in many of her contemporaries. To "eyene kan
mi" Offiong Kate Henshaw who has acted in over 100 films winning several
awards. I wish you a happy birthday and best of your heart desires.
