‘I Had My Baby For A Useless Liar’ – Amanda Ebeye Opens Up

Nollywood actress, Amanda Ebeye, has opened up on the circumstances that led to her becoming one of the many celebrity baby mamas in the country. The beautiful actress recently took a delivery of a baby in Canada after hiding her pregnancy from the probing eyes of her fans and the media.

But she has now opened up on how she ended up being another single mother.“I did not marry the father of my child because he is not my husband and he is not meant to be. I could have been in the most useless relationship right now if I wanted but I told myself instead of giving my son this shameless pretender and liar of a man as a father, I would take care of him and he will be fine. I tell you that since I took that stance, I’ve not looked back for one day and God keeps giving me the strength to move on. If it is God’s, one day a good man will come and you’ll be invited to my wedding but for now, I’m single and all that matters to me is my son,” she told Punch.

She insisted that she was not bothered about the wide criticism she endured from many on social media when it became common knowledge that she had a child out of wedlock.

“I didn’t feel bad because we are all entitled to our opinions. Most people don’t know what other people go through but they are fast to bury them. We all hide behind our beautiful make-up and clothes that people forget that we all cry sometimes. And the most painful part is that it is mostly women that do these criticisms. Some are even going through worse situations but they come on social media, wearing make-up and fine clothes and start commenting but when they go home, their husbands would slap them for not cooking their food early, and they receive it with smiles, walk away and say I’m fighting for my man. Hypocrites!” she added.

She also said that women should not be afraid to abandon their marriages or relationships if their men were cheating on them.

“People think it’s very hard and difficult (being single parents) but I’ll tell you this today and I’ll use this medium to speak to women going through bad relationships. You can do it alone, do not let some man think he’s your Alpha and Omega. That’s for the Lord. Honour your husband. Be diligent as a wife. Do your job as a wife. Be his mother, cook his meals and cater to your family. Have a job so you can support your family too. He pays the fees, you can choose to pay for a vacation for the family to France. Do all you can as a good wife and a virtuous woman but if you do all that and he disrespects you, cheats on you and gives you bull please know you stand right with God and don’t be scared to walk out the door with your kids,” she said.
