Nigerian skit maker Mariam Apaokagi, popularly known as Taaooma, has opened up about her motherhood journey, revealing that she loves her child more than herself.
In an interview with Pulse Nigeria, Taaooma said becoming a mother has shown her that nothing is impossible, as it pushes one beyond their limits and reveals untapped strength.
She added that motherhood has introduced her to a kind of love she never imagined, admitting she never thought she could love anyone more than herself until now.
Taaooma got engaged to her fiancé, Abdulaziz Oladimeji (Abula), in Namibia in February 2020 and married him on January 24, 2021. The couple welcomed their baby girl in 2024, with Taaooma sharing a video of her on December 5.
She said: “I realized that there’s nothing like I can’t do it. Being a mom, you always find a way. Even if you think you cannot do it, you actually find yourself doing it. Secondly, I never thought I would be able to love somebody so much. But you see, I love her more than myself.”
