Nollywood sweethearts Ibrahim Suleiman and Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman are celebrating a special milestone, as their son, Keon Iman Suleiman, just turned five!
The proud parents took to Instagram to shower their little boy with love and gratitude, and the messages they penned have left fans gushing over their beautiful bond as a family.
Ibrahim Suleiman, who rarely misses a chance to express how much fatherhood means to him, poured his heart out in a touching tribute to Keon, calling him his biggest blessing and greatest teacher.
He wrote on Instagram:
“Your name is KEON / ‘God is Gracious,’”
“My Son. The definition of watching my heart sprout limbs and run around with that infectious laugh of yours.
My Son. The most valuable gift God has blessed me with yet.
My Son. My biggest motivation.”
He went on to describe Keon as a “super intelligent proof of God’s graciousness”, revealing that his son has already taught him things most adults can’t: from astronomical data to unimaginable numbers beyond trillions. He added:
“My Son. Living, breathing, super intelligent proof of God’s graciousness.
I love you, Keon Iman Suleiman.
Your Mama and Dada are grateful for how stress-free you are.
Thank you for teaching me numbers beyond the Trillions, about the comparative sizes and volumes of all the planets in the solar system, I cannot wait for all the many wonderful things you’ll teach me.
God bless you, and cause His face to shine upon you, and keep you safe. You are a light to us all.
HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY, CAPTAIN CUTEFACE!!!
“YOU ARE A CHAMPION!!!”
Not to be left out, Keon’s mum, Linda Ejiofor, also shared a glowing tribute filled with love, nostalgia, and humour. The actress reminisced about Keon’s dramatic entrance into the world, recounting how she went into labor just 30 minutes after having semo and ogbono, initially thinking it was Braxton Hicks. She wrote:
“I can’t believe you’re already 5!!! Wasn’t it just yesterday I had semo and ogbono and 30 minutes later I was in labour and i thought it was Braxton Hicks.
“You came into this world to enjoy life, and enjoy you will with God by our side.”
Linda described motherhood as the “greatest adventure” and expressed her deep love for her son, calling him a source of joy and laughter. Linda shared:
“Happy 5th Birthday to my amazing son! I thank God for you every single day and pray for His continued blessings, guidance, and protection over your life.
You bring so much joy and laughter into our world, and watching you grow has been the greatest adventure.”
The Suleimans, who got married in 2018 in one of Nollywood’s most talked-about weddings, have always kept a relatively private family life. But every once in a while, they bless fans with sweet glimpses into their world. They remind us that, beyond the glam and movie sets, they are also devoted parents raising a brilliant and joyful little boy.
Fans and celebrity colleagues have since flooded the comment sections with birthday wishes for young Keon, affectionately dubbed “Captain Cuteface” by his dad.
