Pap for breakfast, lunch, dinner, pastor recounts actress wife’s sacrifice

In a touching tribute that resonated deeply within the community, Pastor Seun Osigbesan has lauded his wife, Nollywood actress Seun Osigbesan, for her extraordinary strength and unwavering support during a challenging seven-year period.

“

You know, if I need anything, I am very comfortable to ask her because I know that she will come through. Even when I did not have anything, she was consistent and never complained. She carried a lot of burden, real bills, for at least seven years and never complained.

Speaking at a church event, Pastor Osigbesan recounted how his wife single-handedly bore the financial responsibilities of their home, demonstrating a level of resilience that has become a beacon of inspiration. He shared intimate details of their struggles, including moments when they could not afford basic necessities like diapers, yet she never complained.

“

She always tells me, ‘Baby, I believe in you, you can do it, you are a great man, you are a millionaire.’ Now she says, ‘You are a billionaire, we have crossed into billions in Jesus’ name.’ She kept speaking those words into my life, and that kept me going.

His words painted a vivid picture of a woman whose faith and encouraging words were instrumental in his own confidence. "She always tells me, ‘Baby, I believe in you, you can do it, you are a great man, you are a millionaire,’" he revealed, highlighting the power of her affirmations that propelled him forward.

“

There was a time in our family when we could not afford diapers, and she used black nylon as diapers for the children. That went on for weeks. At a point, what the family ate was pap for breakfast, pap for lunch and pap for dinner. Yet, she never complained.

This narrative of marital fortitude and sacrifice, particularly from a prominent figure in the church and entertainment industry, offers a powerful counterpoint to the often-glamorized narratives of success. It underscores the profound impact of a supportive partner during times of adversity, a message that holds particular significance in a society that often places immense pressure on men to be sole providers. The story serves as a reminder of the quiet strength found within families and the deep bonds that can weather any storm.

“

She never said, ‘What kind of man is this?’ She never made me feel like I was failing. She was just that kind of person, very tolerant and deeply supportive.
