I Was In Terrible Pains

A Nigerian woman, Ofure Kimberly, has recounted how her daughter’s father failed to show up for their child’s naming ceremony five years ago due to family issues.

 

 Kimberly, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Wednesday, April 16, said she had to name her daughter by herself.

 

“I like to leave out very personal details of my life from here because there’s no need. But I cried last night. I saw a video that kind of triggered,” she wrote.

5 years ago, we waited for him to show up on my child’s naming, we both never had any major personal issues. Family issues that could be resolved, we were still together the night before.

     

And I waited, frail and in terrible pains. Waited for him to show up so we could name her and he never came.

     

I named my baby myself.

     

When you see how I love my child with all of me, it is because we’ve been through so much together and she never deserved what happened that day.”
