Taaooma Says She Never Knew She Could Love Anyone More Than Herself
Famous Nigerian skit maker Taaooma, whose real name is Mariam Apaokagi, has shared her deep feelings about becoming a mother. In a touching interview with Pulse Nigeria, she opened up about how having a baby has changed her life completely.
Taaooma revealed that she never thought she could love anyone more than herself—until her daughter came into the world. She said becoming a mother made her discover a new kind of love she had never felt before.
“I never thought I would be able to love somebody so much,” she said during the interview. “But you see, I love her more than myself.”
The popular comedian and content creator also said that motherhood has taught her that nothing is impossible. She explained that being a mom pushes a person to go beyond their limits and brings out strength they never knew they had.
She said, “I realized that there’s nothing like ‘I can’t do it.’ Being a mom, you always find a way. Even if you think you cannot do it, you actually find yourself doing it.”
Taaooma got engaged to her longtime partner, Abdulaziz Oladimeji, also known as Abula, in Namibia back in February 2020. The couple later tied the knot on January 24, 2021. In 2024, they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, and Taaooma shared a video of her daughter on December 5, sparking joy and warm reactions from fans.
Since her rise to fame as one of Nigeria’s top female content creators, Taaooma has always stood out for her creative, funny, and family-centered comedy skits. Now, with her new journey into motherhood, fans are seeing a softer and more emotional side of her.
Many fans and fellow celebrities have praised Taaooma for opening up about her experience as a new mother. They say her honesty is refreshing and inspiring, especially to young women balancing fame and family life.
Her story is a reminder that even strong and independent women can discover new levels of love and strength through parenting. Taaooma continues to inspire her audience, not just with laughter, but with heartfelt, real-life moments too.
