‘Kids are innocent’: Lilian Ng’ang’a hits back at Obinna over co-parenting advice
Former Machakos County First Lady Lilian Ng’ang’a has lambasted media personality Oga Obinna over his recent advice to fathers on child support, calling his stance irresponsible and harmful to children.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, March 19, 2026, the author did not mince her words as she addressed the growing debate sparked by Obinna’s comments. Obinna had advised men to withhold child support should they be denied access to their children by their co-parents.

“The other day, I saw somebody post, and then they said that if you are being denied access to your kid, you should not send child support,” she began.
Lilian disagreed, shifting the focus from parental conflict to the child’s well-being.
“When it comes to the parent-child relationship, love is unconditional. You should not expect anything in return for loving and providing for your child. So when you withhold child support, it’s low-key irresponsible,” she said.
Adding;
“Because the child is not involved in your fights. Imagine your child struggling because the mom cannot afford school fees, food… just do your part. And we are adults, we know the universe over time rights all wrongs. Just do your part as a parent; children are innocent.”
Obinna’s advice
Her remarks come days after Obinna stirred conversation online with a message to fathers dealing with denied access to their children.
“Did I stutter?? MEN, IF YOU ARE BEING DENIED ACCESS TO YOUR CHILD, STOP SENDING UNNECESSARY SUPPORT,” he wrote on Instagram on Saturday, March 14, 2026.
Obinna argued that many fathers continue to meet financial obligations even when court access directives are ignored. According to him, the solution is not silent compliance, but legal action.
“Courts give directives that sometimes aren’t followed by the mothers to our children, especially if you don’t do what they want, how and when they want. Wacha kulipa murudi kortini aambiwe tena, na akikataa tena you repeat,” he added.
Obinna also shared a more reflective side of his own co-parenting journey. In a YouTube video posted on March 10, 2026, he admitted that ego and bitterness once clouded his judgment.
“So there is this thing that I learnt from co-parenting. Initially, nilikua… the part that you have said about bitterness,” he said.
He acknowledged that both sides were often trying to prove a point rather than solve the problem.
“There was a lot of ego at play. From the other side, from my side,” he explained, noting that the constant back-and-forth only made communication harder and tensions worse.
