“I’m sad my mother did not see her great grand children”- Actress Iyabo Ojo cries out
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has spoken up on how sad she feels whenever she remembers her mother did not live to see her great grand children.
The actress said this to defend her earlier advise to her daughter, Priscilla. Earlier on, a video went viral where she told her daughter to get engaged at 23, get married at 24 and get pregnant at 25. In an Instagram session withe Saturday Beats, she said,
“It is always a mother’s dream that their kids get married, settle down and have children. Trust me, this world we live in is vanity. Everything we have, we are going to leave behind. The only things that will remain are the children that we bore and the memories we had. Kids are a blessing, if one is blessed to have them. Every mother would love to see their grandchildren. I am still very hurt that my mother did not live long enough to see her great grandchildren because it was my desire for her.”
She also added that mothers do not actually stress their children but push them so as to bring out the best version of them.
“I read some comments that I should not stress Priscilla.
We, African mothers, stress children. We stress them to go to school, to pass their exams, and to become good. It does not mean they won’t turn out to be their own persons. It is a mother’s duty. A mother’s job is to be behind their children and keep pushing them to be better versions of themselves.”
