"I'm a Mother of Many Nations; I Have Seven Children Who Are Not My Biological Children" – Ronke Oshodi

Veteran Nigerian actress and filmmaker Ronke Oshodi-Oke has revealed that she has cared for numerous children beyond her biological ones, considering herself a mother to many. She described herself as “a mother of many nations” due to her dedication to nurturing and supporting a large number of people.

Born Ibironke Ojo, the Nollywood star shared this aspect of her life in a recent interview, offering insight into her experiences, career journey, and core values. Best known for her role in the 2000 movie Oshodi Oke, she highlighted the importance of love and responsibility in shaping the lives of young people.

“I am a mother of many nations; I have about seven children who are not biologically mine,” she revealed, emphasizing her dedication to those she has chosen to embrace as family. While she has two biological children, she has also taken on the responsibility of caring for and nurturing others who have become part of her life.

A respected veteran in the Nigerian film industry, Oshodi-Oke attributed her passion for helping others to her upbringing and personal experiences. She noted that many young people lack proper guidance, and she feels it is her duty to step in when necessary.

“I don’t believe you must give birth to a child before assuming responsibility for them. What truly matters is making an impact, and if I can help shape someone’s future for the better, then I have fulfilled my purpose,” she stated.

Throughout her career, Oshodi-Oke has been a vocal advocate for the well-being of women and children. She has consistently used her platform to address issues affecting young people, particularly those in the entertainment sector. Acknowledging the difficulties that come with Nollywood, she advised aspiring actors to remain steadfast and disciplined.

“The industry, the audience, and even the media can be frustrating at times. But I take life as it comes—whatever happens will eventually pass,” she reflected, shedding light on the pressures of fame.

Apart from acting, Oshodi-Oke is also a filmmaker and musician. She acknowledged the progress made in Nigeria’s movie industry but pointed out persistent challenges such as piracy, urging the government to enforce stricter laws to combat it.
