IN LOVING MEMORY

Dear mother, Deaconess (Dr) Patience Ehisienmen Iyamu was born to Archbishop John Enoyogiere Edokpolo and Princess Osarenmwinda Edokpolo (both of blessed memory) on the 12^th of February 1959. She hails from Evbueghae in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria.

She attended Payne Primary School and Edokpolo Grammar School. Whilst in secondary school, she developed a passion for business and started petty trading. This business idea was not well-welcomed by her father who wanted the best for his children. However, the best for mama was business. She excelled in every area of her business, and her father eventually supported her as much as he could. Her mother (popularly called Iye) was also a great influence on her success in business because mama learnt the tenets of business from Iye in New Benin Market.
