She advised her to be strong and ensure that motherhood does not stop her education and from achieving her purpose in life.
“Being a parent comes with its share of challenges and woes”, Mrs Onyemaechi stressed while advising Chioma to be responsive and set boundaries for herself.
She called for support from public-spirited individuals to enable Chioma train her baby and complete her education.
