Melodious singer, Aituaje Iruobe, aka Waje has revealed that she and daughter laugh over negative comments trolls write about the former on social media.
The ‘Best thing’ singer made this known as a guest on ‘Rubbin Minds’, a show anchored by media personality, Ebuka Uchendu.
“We have grown to the point when we laugh about it.Sometimes she will come and show me the comments. I don’t follow the blogs, sometimes she is able to see it and we would laugh. It is very important the sort of foundation you lay with your kids. There was one time she was in school and she sent me a picture ‘Mummy can I post it’? There was nothing bad in that picture but I asked her ‘Tell me oh, it depends oh, what is the story behind the picture? So that’s’ how we table it.
“The great thing about my daughter is she is not a social media person, which is a blessing in disguise. Where she has her fan base, her friends, she connects with, is on snapchat.She has deleted her twitter and instagram accounts on several occasions. Me too I am begging her to have these accounts so companies will come and endorse us. So that’s one pass for me, she is really not a social media person’.
Speaking further, Waje noted that she has done a good job of building Emerald’s character.
“Secondly, I think I have done a very good job, building her character. She is not easily swayed by these things.She has Omawunmi, she has a lot of my friends she can talk to if she has issues that she feels ‘I don’t want to talk to mummy about this’. I just think she has such a strong personality and character that makes her not to be easily swayed by all these things”.
Asked what parenting has taught her, the talented vocalist said ”Parenting has taught me humility because it’s so scared. Being a parent is a God given role that you can’t abuse so in that space where you are fortunate to have that opportunity, it humbles you, it makes you see life from a different perspective. So even when I love the fame, I love it for a different reason.I love the doors it is opening for my kids, the one I gave birth to and the one I have acquired by virtue of being Waje”.
