Stop being too proud to apologise – Mercy Aigbe warns African parents

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has called on African parents to reflect deeply on their parenting styles and emotional connections with their children. Speaking at the premiere of her latest film, My Mother Is a Witch, Aigbe opened up about her own parenting journey, emphasising how much she had to grow in order to understand her daughter, Michelle, better. My daughter, Michelle might think that the upbringing I gave her was Harsh and truly it was. I was harsh on her I can’t even lie but I raised a vessel for God. As parents we need to have closure on so many issues with our children and we also need to pay attention to them. I want to quickly share a story.

She recalled how Michelle opened up to her about how harsh she was in raising her, and how she spotlighted one time she hit her with a bucket and never apologised for it.
