Known across social media as Mama Ukehe, Mama Wetuoro Chukwu Obi touched millions of hearts after viral video showed her painful tears...
In Igbo culture, names often carry deep prayers and life lessons and Wetuoro Chukwu Obi means to calm or surrender your heart to God.
For decades, Mama Ukehe lived out this exact message.
As the first wife in a polygamous marriage, she worked hard alongside her husband to build their home and life together but because she had no biological children, her husband took a second wife who birthed kids for him.. For years, Mama Ukehe endured quiet pain, loneliness, and mockery from people around her because she was childless....
Everything changed during her husband's traditional Ozo title ceremony...
The traditional Ozo title ceremony is an important cultural event where a first wife is normally honored beside her husband.
She was informed late about the celebration, and she arrived without her own guests and was left sitting alone on a plastic chair and while the crowd celebrated the second wife with cash, wrappers, and loud cheers, Mama Ukehe was ignored.
Two kind women who saw her sitting alone, walked over and placed a wrapper on her and overwhelmed by years of silent pain and that sudden act of kindness, she broke down in tears.
A short video of her crying at the ceremony spread rapidly across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. Viewers across Nigeria and abroad were deeply moved by her story and refused to let her remain in sorrow.
Within days, visitors, community leaders, and entertainers began traveling to her home in Ukehe.
Mama Ukehe, who had no children of her own was suddenly embraced by thousands of people calling her mother, bringing her gifts, financial support, and plans to build her a new home.
Mama Ukehe's life will never be the same!

ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting story and it means there are still human with good heart. God bless you mother of uwa nile.
ReplyDeleteSo emotional... Nigeria my people overdoing things
ReplyDelete@Stellz, you is badt. I don laff tire. Your last sentence got me in stitches. But seriously, why mock someone who doesn't have a child?
ReplyDeleteShort story...when we lived in Lagos,we were in a compound with ten apartments,all the tenants had kids.This particular family living in the compound had nine kids and the kids were so noisy.
I would return from a very hectic job in the evening,all I wanna do when I get home is to relax and chill for about 30 mins,but no,the children would come to my window and scream,play ball and just generally disrupt my peace.Weekends nkor?We spoke to their mum,but she is often tired and just wants them outside to play so she can have her own peace.We endured and endured until one day hub said enough is enough,we were home that weekend and they were at it again,hub went outside with cane and said if they come near the windows or our side of the compound to scream again,he would flog them.
We had peace for like an hour,then their mum came to our door to ask why we chased the children,hub said the noise was too much and he expected by now she would have cautioned her kids.
This woman open mouth replied us,shebi na una dey look for pikin?Na una wickedness no gree God give una pikin,una suppose happy say children dey make noise for una side at list that one fit make God give una pikin.Instead make una dey happy say children they disturb una,una dey vex.
That's one experience I would never forget.It also taught me something,humans generally mock,make jest,belittle people that don't have what they have.
In Whatever you do BV'S always always be kind,don't use the pain of someone to mock them.
My goodness what a wicked woman with a caustic tongue. The way people mock others is very alarming yet they're the first to ask God for mercy.
DeleteImagine the audacity of the 2nd wife's daughter coming out to say people should let her mother be, she is depressed. And a whole lot of nonsense. Una never see anything. They tried to shame this woman, even when the MC told them to acknowledge her, they ignored. God has shown up, and people are showering her with love and gifts. God bless those 2 women, that gave her wrappers, that scene broke me.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for the woman.
ReplyDeleteMen turned up no be small.
Why should she leave her husband? He only took a second wife because she couldn't give birth. And let's assume, her consent was sought before he took another.
ReplyDeleteNow to the part of mockery received because she did not birth kids, only savage, short-,sighted morons would do such! African society and their wicked mindset. Tuueeeh! The children some of them birthed are criminals and scourge of the earth! Dem think say na to born, yaga! Deplorable lot!
Thank God for putting smiles on her face.
ReplyDeleteYasss ❗️
ReplyDeleteThis woman who God has shown mercy finally lands here, I was emotional watching that video that day…to think that, it’s her fellow women that has been mocking her
Only God knows the pain & ill treatment that has been shown her in that house, even the husband na koromoto man cos how can your second wife be disrespecting your first in public and you kept mute
Im just happy that God has wiped her tears , God bless everyone who has shown her kindness
They were already separated, she went back to her father's house.
