Nollywood actor Clems Ohameze expresses heartfelt gratitude and admiration for his daughter, who has been his rock since he suffered a stroke.
Despite investing heavily in his three sons, they seem to have given up on him, prioritizing their own families’ happiness over his well-being.
In stark contrast, his daughter has selflessly dedicated herself to caring for him over the past two decades, putting his needs above her own happiness.
Ohameze’s emotional account highlighted the unwavering commitment and love of his daughter.
He credited her care for his survival, saying that without her, he would likely have passed away over a decade ago.
According to him, “Since stroke hit me , my Daughter is the only person that has not given up on me . She is been taking care of me for over two decades now . My sons don’t cäre about me anymore. They gäve up on me too soon
”They are busy making sure their wives and their kids are happy and my only daughter is making sure I am OK at the expense of her own happiness.
”If my daughter was not born I would have been a de@d man more than a decade ago . When I was strong I invested more in my 3 sons but life is difficult to understand.
”I can’t explain it but you don’t know what God has done for you if you have a giirl child . They are the only pe0ple that will never giveup on you, ” he said.
The poignant testimony underscored the profound impact daughters can have on their parents’ lives, often providing unconditional support and care.
Ohameze’s experience also raised questions about societal expectations and traditional gender roles in Nigerian culture.
In many African societies, sons are often expected to take on significant family responsibilities, including caring for aging parents.
However, Ohameze’s situation challenged this notion, demonstrating that daughters can be equally, if not more, devoted to their parents’ well-being.
The narrative resonated with a broader cultural conversation about the roles of sons and daughters in Nigerian families.
While traditional expectations might emphasise the importance of sons, stories like Ohameze’s highlight the value and dedication of daughters.
As Nigerian society continued to evolve, such accounts could help foster a more nuanced understanding of family dynamics and the contributions of all family members, regardless of gender.
In a similar vein, Nollywood actor RMD has also spoken about the value of having daughters, saying that each daughter is worth three sons.
According to him, daughters are less likely to engage in troublesome behavior, are more obedient, and will remember their parents even after marriage.
