Sharing her story, the actress said no one should make single parents feel their sacrifices are in vain, revealing that every kobo she earned went into paying international school fees.

She added that while many people assume she is wealthy because her child studies abroad, they do not see the responsibilities, sacrifices and financial struggles behind the scenes.
Describing the graduation as a moment paid for with prayers, tears, faith and sacrifice, the actress said seeing her son succeed made every struggle worth it.
Read what she shared, “I’m sharing this story to encourage every single parent out there doing it all alone. Don’t get tired. Don’t give up. Don’t let anybody make you feel your sacrifices are in vain.
“You see this my hat? I wish it could be bigger than this because it cannot even contain how big my head is right now.”

She went further to say, “Ha! The story is long o. Where do I even start from?
“I don’t know if people notice that I don’t usually slay that much or attend too many parties. I can’t. Every kobo that comes into my account is already allocated.”
Omoborty further went on to talk about sending her son abroad to school. She added, “International student fees abroad are not moi moi money, so how exactly am I supposed to be slaying up and down all the time?
“Should I talk about the days I had to sell some of my gold jewelry to pay school fees? The days I stared at bills and wondered how I was going to make everything work? The days my son and I would stay on video calls, crying?”

She went on to say, “Sometimes I even ask myself, ‘Biodun, who sent you?” Because taking a child abroad to study and paying the fees in full is not the kind of responsibility you fund by borrowing here and there or asking people to contribute. People look at you and think, “If she can send her child abroad, then she must be very comfortable.”
Omoborty went further to add, “The funny part is that some people look at you and assume you have money to throw around. They see social media and think everything is easy. Some will ask for help, and when you do the little you can, they are disappointed because they believe you have more than you gave.
What they don’t know is that responsibilities don’t post themselves online.
So yes, please permit me to flood your timeline a little. This celebration was paid for with prayers, sacrifices, faith, tears, sleepless nights, and the grace of God.”
