“Stop telling people your problems,” Akothee advices single mums
If there is anything Akothee is good at is probably schooling lonely, desperate single mums. This is because, she has so far perfected the art of raising her 5 children on her own; and whether you like it or not, she does this singlehandedly.
However before she knew the power she has as a woman; Akothee says she would run around looking for sympathy from people as she narrated how her exes did her wrong.
At the end of the day she then realized that most of the people she talked to either laughed behind her back; others had more problems than hers while the rest did not really care.
As mean as it sounds, some of these lessons are what pushed her to becoming the boss she is today. Through her IG page the mother of 5 shared this knowledge in a long post where she wrote;
I stopped telling people my painful stories , I started investing my time on building myself after I realised
????70 %DONT CARE
????20% HAVE MORE PROBLEMS THAN ME
????10%ARE HAPPY ITS ME AND NOT THEM ????
Single mum of 5 and a boss!
Having struggled for almost 2 decades hustling and fighting for her kids; Akothee says she remains grateful for all her sacrifices which will never go unpaid.
In the detailed post, the lass went on to add;
COURAGE! COURAGE ????
I never knew I would end up here ,but I found myself here ,I had to figure out how to bring you up ????no manual or directory , no guidelines or know how ,I just did my thing with my instinct as a mother. All the sacrifices I made was to see you here today ????I am one of the luckiest mothers ,that you never dissapointed me and my Efforts ????I have never asked anyone for your school fee or upkeep ???? you are and still is my full responsibility. You still remain mine and mine forever ???????? I am sorry I put you throu all you went through ,but one day when you will be a mother ,you will understand that life is like an onion ,each layer you peel must make your nose wet and your eyes crying ,but you know what ,You are stronger than your pain ???? challenges have two different effects on us. It either build you or break you completely, depending on how you respond to the situation ????
In conclusion she added;
Anyone who admires a single mothers life ( it’s because you see the glam and the success now ) on ground before success,this shit looks like suicide ???????????????????? @veshaokello @rue.baby @fancy_ makadia
