A young woman has described her sad path of growing up without mother care, including the mental and financial difficulties she endured.
Speaking exclusively, she emphasised the stark contrast between her life and those who are privileged to have a mother’s support.
Life without maternal care
“People who have their mum to care for them are very lucky. I never had that. My mum passed away when I was very young, and since then, life has been extremely difficult,” she said.
She also spoke about the absence of basic gestures of care from her father “No one has ever bought me a pair of slippers—not my dad, not anyone. Sometimes, I just feel invisible,” she added, her voice trembling with emotion.
Her story has received a lot of attention online, and it speaks to many people who have experienced parental neglect.
The woman described past obstacles she faced in school, such as going to class without suitable shoes or clothing.
“I remember days in primary school when I had to walk barefoot because I had nothing. Those memories stay with you forever,” she said. She credits these hardships for shaping her resilience and determination to succeed against the odds.
Her story echoes a wider societal issue in Nigeria, where many children face parental loss or neglect.
