Nigerian comedian, actor, and singer Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, recently shared his humorous yet heartfelt thoughts on parenting. In a touching Instagram post, he highlighted the financial demands of raising children while celebrating his journey as a father.
Basketmouth took to Instagram to share an adorable photo featuring himself with his daughter and son. Using his signature humor, he remarked on the financial challenges of parenthood, stating:
While we teach our children the lessons of life, they teach our bank account a greater lesson.”
This sentiment resonated with many of his followers, who could relate to the humor and truth behind his words.
Basketmouth has often been open about his family life. Recently, he posted an emotional video documenting his trip to the UK to enroll his son, Jason Okpocha, in college. The video captured poignant moments, including their flight, the registration process, and a heartfelt hug between father and son.
Reflecting on the experience, Basketmouth admitted he shed tears, not just because he would miss his son but also due to the financial burden of international education.
Earlier, on Jason’s 16th birthday, the comedian shared a heartfelt tribute, celebrating his son’s growth and declaring the day a personal holiday. He lovingly described Jason as his “everything,”.
Despite his humour and positivity, Basketmouth has faced personal challenges. In 2022, he and his wife, Elsie, announced their separation, shocking fans. The comedian shared the news via Instagram, assuring the public that they would continue to co-parent their children amicably. He requested privacy, choosing not to disclose the reasons for their divorce.
