Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has shared a raw and heartfelt story of resilience, single motherhood, and unexpected redemption through love, a testimony that has left fans both moved and inspired.
In a candid reflection, Ruby opened up about the harsh reality she faced at just 20 years old, a young woman, pregnant, and abandoned.
“Immediately the person I was pregnant for heard I was pregnant, he ran away, switched off his phone… I only heard from others that he said he wasn't responsible for the pregnancy.”
Alone and heartbroken, Ruby did what many women are forced to do in silence, she picked up the pieces and raised her daughter, Royalty, by herself. Through the tears, struggles, and judgment, she held on.
And just when she thought the worst was behind her, the man who once denied her child came back, not in private, but publicly.
“Just to post her one day, he came to the comment section claiming her to be his daughter. Who does that?”
“I gave deaf ears and blocked him.”
But her story doesn't end with rejection, it turns into redemption.
When Ruby met her now-husband Moc, she laid her truth on the table: “I have a child.” She braced for hesitation, maybe even rejection. But what she received instead was grace.
“He didn’t even bother about that. He takes care of Royalty like she’s his born daughter.”
So selfless and genuine is Moc’s love that you would never know Royalty isn’t his biological child unless someone told you. That kind of love? It’s rare. It’s healing.
“God, I can’t ask for more.”
Ruby’s journey is one of pain turned to power, of motherhood embraced in the face of abandonment, and of a love story written not with perfection but with compassion, truth, and courage.
Her story reminds us that no matter how our story begins, it doesn’t define how it ends. Sometimes, the very thing that once broke you becomes the path that leads you to your greatest blessing.
