Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe has revealed the struggles between a man and his babymama.
This is as she urged parents to prioritize their children’s well-being over personal conflicts.
According to the actress, she received the message from a man detailing his struggles with co-parenting.
The man, who resonated deeply with her latest movie Ada Omo Daddy, revealed how he had spent over ₦20 million on his baby mama and child within five months but was met with a lack of accountability.
In the lengthy note, the man wrote, “I just reached out to my baby mama for a way forward concerning the welfare of my child. I had spent over 20 million on her and the baby in 5 months but I was met with lack of accountability.
“It made me feel so bad that since the 11th of January, I haven’t bought food or anything for my baby again. She ran out of food on the 30th of January (a month and two days ago).
“But watching Ada Omo Daddy preached a gospel to me and made me weep at the scene where Mr. Bankole handed Pero over to Charles Okafor. It broke my heart and I wept fa.
“To be honest, I want to take care of my child but my baby mama has been making it challenging for me. I’m going to dust everything off, and continue right after the DNA. This movie was for me. Thank you so much.”
Reacting to his message, Mercy Aigbe encouraged parents to set aside their differences and focus on their children’s needs.
“Parents really need to do better. How about setting differences aside and focusing on the well-being and what’s best for the kids?.”
