Veteran Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson Okojie, has opened up about her fears of motherhood.
She revealed this in a recent episode of her show “Mercy’s menu” with her colleague, Shaffy Bello.
"Mercy Johnson" stated that her biggest fear in her motherhood journey was her children going through the same childhood experience she faced.
"She explained that her life is a scale of preference and her children are at the top of her list cause she is a protective mother."
"She revealed that growing up as a child was very ugly for her, she had no one to clean her tears and she knew what hunger was because she had no money." Her experience is the reason she works so hard to make sure none of her children goes through pain.
In her words:
“Hmm. So I saw this quote online, let me start from there. The quote said ‘Overprotective moms are like girls who grew up without being protected’ and that meant something."
"So one of my biggest fears would be my kids going through what I went through."
That emptiness and that no sense of direction. "So like I always say, my life is like a scale of preference and they come first before every other thing."
"Cause as a child, I suffered so much and I remember crying with nobody to clean my eyes." I can define hunger because I know it.
"I can define abuse so it is a feeling I don’t want any child, not the one that came from me, to go through." My past is the reason why I am very protective of my kids.”;#"
