Actress Ini Edo On How Motherhood Changed Her: “There’s A Consciousness That Comes With The Fact That You’re Responsible For Somebody Else’s Life.”

While speaking to The Punch newspaper recently, celebrated Nollywood actress Ini Edo opened up about what motherhood has been like for her, and how the experience continues to shape her.

Recall the actress shook things up with conservative Nigerians late 2021 when she revealed she’d welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy. In the recently published conversation, the actress said that she was now conscious of the fact that she was responsible for someone else’s life.

“All of a sudden, somebody else is more important than yourself.

“I’m somebody who just really love myself and my space. But then, you realise that before you start to think about yourself, you wake up in the morning and you’re not thinking of yourself.

“You’re thinking of your child,” Ini Edo is quoted as saying.
