Speaking on the campaign and stage play, Brand Building Director, Unilever Nigeria Plc, David Okeme, said “the love of a mother cannot be compared to anything else in this world. It is the purest love ever known. We celebrate mothers everywhere because if not for them, where will the world be today? It is only the love of a mother that would make her make sacrifices for her children and the entire family.”

Okeme said that the stage play is giving Unilever the opportunity to showcase and give audiences the experience of a story that displays purity to that of a mother’s love. He reiterated that the love of mothers, as the campaign theme implies, is the thrust of the entire stage play.  It also is an opportunity to show case the care Unilever Brand’s like Vaseline, Close-up, Lifebuoy, and the rest have shown to Nigerians.
