International photographer and art painter Marketta Rokka, based in Sweden, welcomed 2025 with double celebrations as she marked her birthday on January 2.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Marketta wished herself a happy birthday, writing, “Let’s celebrate another year of my life, knowing I’m capable of great things. It’s time to step out and chase those dreams—it’s a wonderful opportunity.”
Speaking to KosofePost while preparing her royal-themed birthday cake, Marketta shared her reflections on aging and health. “I don’t want to get older, but hopefully, we can be healthy,” she joked. Despite her concerns about gaining weight over the years, she credited her daily long walks as a key factor in maintaining her well-being.
Bilesanmi Abayomi KOKO, the Publisher of KosofePost, joined Marketta’s family and friends in extending heartfelt birthday wishes. He described her as a loyal friend and a committed supporter of the publication, noting her consistent engagement with their content on social media over the years.
Marketta’s thoughtful tributes to Bilesanmi’s own birthday each December 18 did not go unnoticed, making their mutual celebrations a testament to enduring friendships and shared joy.
