Honest Truth about Growing Up Without A Father - Priscilla Ojo

Nigerian media personality, influencer, and business woman Priscilla Ojo is famously the daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. Both mother and daughter are very famous in their own rights and both women constantly support each other, post pictures wearing matching outfits, and basically exude a very nice mother/daughter bond.

However, while we see Priscilla with her mom all the time, we do not see a lot of Priscilla's father in the picture. During a new interview with BTS Reality, Priscilla Ojo finally opened up about how it was growing up with a single mother, and if it ever made her feel depressed. Here is what Priscilla Ojo had to say.

During her interview, Priscilla Ojo was asked "Growing up with just a single mum, did that ever make you depressed?" She responded saying:

PRISCILLA OJO: I will say maybe I had daddy issues in the sense that I just wanted that love. I felt like my mum filled in every position so it's just like when you see online and you want that daddy, but to me, I feel like my mum literally did everything perfect. So like I wouldn't say I was depressed at any point because I feel like we came from a lineage of strong women. I am very strong, my mum is very strong. I have never seen my mum cry. I have never seen her cry. We have never had moments where we were crying, never. My mother is very strong and I learned from her. So even when I go through something, she can never see me down. We have that spirit of we are not gonna [cry], like that energy is not in this house. So I can be on my bed crying, when she comes in, I'm dancing. When I'm down, she knows, but you won't see her come to [speak in low voice], it's "oh you're going to the club, oya go and have fun!". You get the vibe without speaking, do you understand? And that is how I want to train my kids, to be strong. Sometimes, being strong can be very overwhelming because sometimes you just want to be that girl, you just want to let go, you just want to be weak. Because being strong, it's like you're holding so much emotion.
