Mercy Aigbe talked about her experiences as a single mother, emphasizing the challenges she has faced.
“I don’t wish the difficulties of being a single mother on anyone,” she said.
In a Real Talk with Kike episode, Mercy talked about her experience of being a single parent.
In a recent interview, Nigerian actress Mercy Aigbe discussed the difficulties she has had as a single mother and said she would not recommend single parenthood to anyone.
In a recent Real Talk with Kike episode, Mercy spoke up about her own experience of parenting kids by herself. In the past, the Ada Omo Daddy celebrity gained notoriety for acknowledging that she was strict with her children while they were growing up.
According to Mercy, the challenge of being a single mother is that one person must fulfill two responsibilities. She said that it has not been an easy process and that she frequently prays for her children to establish relationships that last. The emotional toll that single parenting takes is shown by her statement, “I don’t wish single motherhood on anybody.”
“I said,” she said.
“As a single mother, I’m raising a child… I want to give a shout-out to all the single mothers out there; you are all heroes. Having to do two different roles is difficult. Talking about my experience as a single mother makes me quite sensitive because it wasn’t an easy path. I therefore pray for other children that I raise, even if they are not my own children, whenever I pray for Michelle. I tell them—the girls in particular—that life happens. In terms of our romantic lives, many of us didn’t choose to be this way, but life occurs and we wish for the best for our children. You will always remember your first time, I always tell my kids. Because it’s exhausting and I don’t want it on anyone.
Mercy also disclosed that her fear of not being a good mother was the main reason she was so strict with her kids. She didn’t want to repeat what she saw as failure in her job as a single parent; she had already gone through it with her children.
According to her explanation:
Because I had failed at this, I believe that part of the reason I was so hard on my children was that I didn’t want to fail as a mother. I didn’t even want them to make mistakes because I didn’t understand that it was a necessary part of their life’s journey. I was pushing them too hard and denying them the opportunity to be who they wanted to be and make mistakes so they could learn from them. Because kids were raised by a single mother, I didn’t want people to think they couldn’t do something good. Financially, emotionally, ethically, and mentally, you still have to show up, and that is really exhausting,” she added.

@Chef_ivyjones1: “That statement… They simply must prove to be successful! 👍 They have no other option. And when God is with all mothers, triumph is certain!🙌
@Blakkgolde: “You also rendered someone a single mother.”
@Mz_teehanah: “Someone is already single because of you, you didn’t wish it on anyone but mercy, hmm it’s well.”
@You_gooh: “But you married a man who vowed to be monogamous with his legal wife. 😮 Ojukokokoro. Your husband broke down and damaged another woman’s house, so you left your marriage.
@Waledarep: “I don’t wish it on anyone, but you’ve already made someone one 😂.”
Classic_ulo: “You took her husband and gave it to someone even though you didn’t wish it on anyone? Ladies, chai.
@Tfroshbaby: “It is psychologically exhausting 😢😢😢 I’ve been training my two girls by myself for years. Financially and physically, we are exhausted, but we continue to live each day.
“We should refer to it as an ABSENTEE FATHER HOME instead of a SINGLE MOTHER HOME,” said @Rubydennis2090. We should stop pointing the finger at the person who chose to take responsibility because she could easily ABANDON the child and the news would report it.
@Marie_Virtuals: And yet you chased a woman away from her? To further irritate her, you even upload images and videos. Everyone certainly knows how to talk like a decent person, which is unusual, Sugbon Inu.
