John Ighodaro, better known by his stage name Johnny Drille, is a Nigerian singer who has called parenthood a transformative experience.
According to Naija News, on November 17, 2023, just one year after their marriage, Johnny Drille and his wife, Rima Tahini, announced the birth of their first child, Amaris Esohe Ighodaro. The musician recently told “Dose Of Society” that having children impacted his life in the most amazing ways and increased his appreciation for his parents.
“Family first is the one rule I live by,” he stated. Above all, if my family needed me, I would stop doing anything, anywhere in the world.
“Family has always been my support system. Every time I got overwhelmed by the world around me, I always run back to family. And, it all felt better. They have been there for me, especially, my parents. My biggest dream in life is to be able to take care of them, and get them to see the world.
“My parents didn’t have much. I remember it was really hard sometimes and we would not have food to eat and they would figure out a way to be able to provide food for us.
“They just made it work and made it fun for us. Back then it looked fun, but now when I think about it, I just know they were trying to shield us from a lot of things at that time.
“Now I have a daughter and I understand what it feels like to be able to nurture someone. Right now, I appreciate my parents even more for what they did for me and my siblings. Having a child changes your life in the most incredible ways.
“And I think that’s not talked about enough, but I’m grateful that I have parents that were able to nurture me, especially in a crazy world like this, and to be able to navigate the different aspects of life.” Source=Naija news
