Top Nollywood actress cum evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi has expressed her thoughts on single-parenthood and how her having a baby outside wedlock, ‘came by mistake’.
She told New Telegraph about how the father of her now 13-year-old son, Raymond, has refused to be responsible and how she copes with being a single parent.
When asked what it is like being a single parent, the legendary thespian said, “It was not a deliberate choice that I made, it came by chance, it came by mistake. God does not kill His children who have made mistakes. He would rather sustain them and tell them that He is the owner of all things.
“The Lord has been sustaining me as a single parent I don’t think about it, all I know is God, you are the one that created me and the child that you gave to me. So God will provide whatever that is needed of me, it was a wrong choice that I made,” she noted.
On whether she had tried to reconcile with the father of her son, Eucharia said, “When somebody says that I do not want to be a responsible father what do you do? You don’t take a horse to the river and force it to drink.
While affirming her plan of settling down with her ideal man, she said, “Of course. Every woman says I want a tall black, handsome man. We all need good things. All the good things every normal woman wants, I want it too. He must be somebody who has the spirit of God, someone who has Christ as his backbone.”
Responding to reports of her purportedly claiming that her intimidating profile tends to discourage men from asking her hand in marriage, the mother of one said, “I can’t remember ever saying such a thing. I don’t know about men being scared of me.
“Well, I will take it that what you are saying is that I’m not in a relationship. Of course you know I would not want to discuss my private life. But I have to tell you what I am doing and what is not happening, I believe in things that are incubating; if it’s meant to come out, it will come out.
“A lot of people also do not know of my commitment to my Christian life too,” the evangelist said.
