Music
powerhouse, Waje born Aituaje Iruobe shined some light on her life as a
single mother and how having a child out of wedlock has been an uphill
task for her. An experience she stresses she will make sure her daughter
does not go through.
In
a sit-down with Genevieve magazine, Waje, whose daughter is named
Emerald, said, “I’m a mother but I know where to draw the line.
“It
is because I don’t want her to make the same mistakes I made. I feel
like some of the decisions I made was because I was raised differently.
“Our
parents taught us what they knew as the truth, but what you know as the
truth might not be the truth. Another thing is that parents do not tell
their children why certain behaviours should be avoided.
“For
example, parents say, “don’t drink because I said so” not, “don’t drink
because it is bad for your health”; but I’m learning that for the
children of this age, you have to tell them all the reasons why they
should not do certain things.
“While my daughter was growing up, I took
up the reward method; you do good, you get good. There was a
consequence for every action.”
Waje went on saying, “There were many
times I really prayed that The One will quicken his steps to make things
easier. It did get too much when it is time to pay rent, school fees,
and other miscellaneous expenses.
“I had my own share of pillow cries and
made sure she doesn’t see it. Sometimes she could come asking, “Why
didn’t you and my Dad stay together?” And, when I first moved to Lagos, I
couldn’t afford to have my daughter with me because I didn’t have a
house; I was squatting with someone. There was a time I saw her like
twice a year.
“There were times she cried, mummy I want
to come and live with you, but I couldn’t afford it till 2011. Yet
looking at my daughter, I will be honest that she is a blessing.
“And
the blessing outweighs the challenges. I have learnt to be patient,
more accommodating and to pay attention to details as a mom. I have also
learnt to map out my priorities, because there are some things I simply
cannot do as a mom,” she added, noting that her baby-daddy wasn’t ready
at the time she took in.”
According to her, “I was young. He was young. Our relationship now is very cordial. We respect each other.
“He has not always been a part of my daughter’s life until recently.
“He met her last year. When she was quite
young he showed interest but my fear was that he won’t be consistent. I
didn’t want a situation where he would come in this year and leave the
next.
“So I had to wait till I was sure that he would be there.”

The widower who is still beside himself with grief revealed that his wife’s death came as a rude shock to him. Speaking to Encomium, he said, “I went to a particular event on Monday (June 6), I was not aware that my wife was dead until the person that was with me asked me to check the rumours flying around the social media about my wife’s death. I referred to it as rumour because I still didn’t believe, if not until I confirmed it myself. “I don’t know how to explain the situation. It is an unimaginable loss”, he lamented. Crying out while discussing with colleagues who came to visit him at his home in Bariga, Prince Jide said, “Third wife! Won’t the world count the numbers of lives I have lost? ” A neighbour who spoke to Encomium on the condition of anonymity said, “I was shocked when I heard the news. I was aware she was admitted to the hospital days before her death, but no one could ever imagine it will lead to her death. She was such a wonderful mother, not to only her family but the whole nation will miss her.” The post I Found Out About My Wife’s Death On The Internet – Jide Kosoko appeared first on Nigerian Celebrity News + Latest Entertainment News. |
