Nollywood actress Susan Pwajok who is still best known for her appearance on The Johnsons, has grown up and is now an influencer and host of the "Surviving Lagos" podcast. Over the years, as Susan has grown, fans and the general populace have had a lot of opinions about the way she's been presenting herself, especially fashion-wise. Susan wears some bold outfits and loves to show her body in clothes, like many of her peers, but some people because they've watched her grow up, feel differently about her doing it. She's a young woman, she's growing, and that means sometimes having disagreements, even with the public.
Now, Susan Pwajok's own mother, Carol Pwajok, is talking about how she feels about the way her daughter is growing, and how she deals with disagreements between them. Here's what her mother had to say.

Speaking on how she feels about the way Susan is growing, and how they handle disagreements, Carol Pwajok, Susan's mother said:
CAROL PWAJOK: I made up my mind to give her my support because I know that I'm the only real family background that she has, and I'm always there for her whether it's good or bad. We talk about everything. We quarrel. We do everything, but we make up. Actually, my mother gave me advice. After my dad died, she said, you know your best friend has gone, you don't have anybody again, only Susan. So I thought about it. She [my mother] said, "try and understand her, and don't fight her. Go back to Lagos, mend your ways, and whatever she does, she's growing. She may not see things the way you see it, but always advice her. Don't push her out." I've learned to tolerate. It's not like if she does anything - I might not like some, but I learn to stomach it, and look the other way for peace. But if I don't like it and I feel like it's not any good to her, I say it outright. I will tell her I don't like that. My mom told me "that's all you have, so hold on to her" which I've done.
