Chief Imo, a Nollywood actor, has caused a stir on social media after vehemently denouncing those who argue that getting married and starting a family shouldn’t be considered accomplishments.

The actor expressed shock at the growing idea that marriage and parenthood should not be used as indicators of personal achievement in a widely shared video on the internet.Getting married

He maintained that these opinions downplay the importance of raising a family and the sacrifices made by parents.

Chief Imo reacted angrily, asking how anyone could continue to enjoy the affection and support of their own parents while discounting marriage and having children as accomplishments.

“What did I hear you say? Wait a minute, what did you just say? That marriage is not an achievement? Bearing children is not an achievement?

Is that what you’re saying? But your parents had you. You are proud of your parents. Every week you visit home to see your parents. You go home to make them happy,” he said.

The actor continued to attack proponents of the concept, claiming that they were misrepresenting the value of family life to younger generations.

“And you are here opening your dirty mouth to say marriage and having children is not an achievement. Then why did they have you? Why are you bearing their name? Keep on deceiving yourself. Keep on talking rubbish,” he stated.

“Na Ogun go kill you. Na Amadioha go strike that your stupid mouth where you open dey talk say marriage is not an achievement or bearing children is not an achievement,” he said.

He also praised parents for the sacrifices they make in raising children, arguing that many people eventually repay those sacrifices by caring for their parents later in life.

According to the actor, people who succeed financially often support their families by buying cars, clothes, food, and other necessities for their parents, bringing them joy in return.

“Your mother suffered. You come here and keep deceiving young people, telling them that having children of your own that will take care of you, as you’re taking care of your parents now, is not an achievement,” he said.

Chief Imo maintained that building a family and becoming a responsible parent remain significant milestones, despite changing opinions about marriage and personal fulfillment.
