Media personality and comedian Oga Obinna recently faced a challenging moment when his young daughter, Lola, asked about his multiple baby mamas. Obinna, who has four children from three different women, had to navigate this delicate conversation while spending quality time with his children.
The Uncomfortable Conversation
In a video posted on the Obinnaz YouTube channel, Obinna and his four children were seen inside a car discussing various topics. The conversation took a surprising turn when Lola innocently remarked, "Uko na baby mamas wengi..." (You have many baby mamas). Her sister, Ada, supported her by saying, "Wallahi ni ukweli sanaa," (It's very true).
Obinna's Explanation
Obinna took the opportunity to explain to his daughters that having multiple baby mamas is not something someone plans. He shared, "Mtu hapangi kuwa na baby mamas. Si ati nimekaa mahali nikafikiria nataka kuwa na baby mama's wangapi?" (No one plans to have many baby mamas. It's not like I sat somewhere and thought about how many baby mamas I want).
He went on to explain that people have different preferences and situations. "Different people have different preferences. Kuna wale wanataka tu kuwa na watoto na wasiolewe... Kuna watu hawataki kuolewa coz wanataka tu kuwa kwa space yao... They are happy and that's okay." (Some people just want to have children without getting married. Some don't want to get married because they want their own space. They are happy and that's okay).
Serious Issues and Co-Parenting
Obinna also touched on more serious issues, stating, "There are also people who have been in abusive relationships na hataki kuwa na baby daddy or baby mama. There are also people who just want to have babies to raise... And that's okay." (Some people have been in abusive relationships and don't want to have a baby daddy or baby mama. Some just want to raise children on their own, and that's okay).
Co-parenting has been challenging for Obinna, who admitted that managing relationships with his three exes is one of the most daunting tasks he faces. He once had to pay his baby mamas to see his children, but he has since resolved some conflicts and now creates content showcasing his bond with his kids.
Connecting with His Children
Despite the challenges, Obinna actively connects with his children by sharing moments like taking them to school and having mature conversations. His openness and efforts to maintain a positive relationship with his children are evident in the content he shares with his audience and fans
