Dear Alex,

Happy 16th Birthday, Diokpa Nwa m! I can hardly believe how quickly time has flown by. It feels like just yesterday you were taking your first steps, and now here you are, stepping into a whole new chapter of your life. I can’t believe I have a soon-to-be man in my life.

This milestone birthday is so special, and it’s a reminder of all the incredible moments we’ve shared. Watching you grow into the amazing young man you are today has been one of my greatest joys. Your kindness, curiosity, and determination inspire everyone around you, especially me.

You created your path early enough. You knew what you wanted in life in your early stages. You single-handedly created your animation program, @roasted_toaster69, and founded your clothing line, @dtw.look. You chose a path to a healthy lifestyle and have consistently walked it. You know your core values even at this young age, and you don’t back down on what you believe is right.

I’m proud to say I’m raising a King! A leader in every ramification. I know sometimes it seems as if I’m hard on you, but you will understand more as you grow older.

As you celebrate this special day, I want you to know how proud I am of you. I pray you embrace this year with open arms. There are so many exciting adventures waiting for you, whether it’s learning to drive, exploring new interests, deepening friendships, reading, seeing the world, getting involved, defending a cause, righting a wrong, stepping out of your comfort zone—but most importantly, pursuing God at your teenage years all the days of your life…remember that I’ll always be here cheering you on.

So, here’s to you, Alex! May your 16th year be filled with laughter, new experiences, and all the dreams you dare to chase. Enjoy every moment of your special day—you deserve it, Odogwu m! Momma’s got your back for life! Welcome to your sweet, strong, and smart 16!

Lots of love my munchkin, Mommy ❤️❤️

She concluded by tagging the photographer, capturing the memorable birthday moments with “@loopsandlights shot it.”

The Iyiegbu family’s messages touched fans, with many celebrating Alex’s achievements and wishing him a fulfilling year ahead. As Alex steps into a new chapter, it’s clear he is making his own mark, carrying on the legacy of hard work, integrity, and ambition.
