Oga Obinna admits ego and bitterness affected his co-parenting journey
By Paulette Mboga, March 10, 2026Media personality Oga Obinna has admitted that ego and bitterness once affected his co-parenting journey.
The content creator and YouTuber shared in a YouTube video on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, that the early stages of co-parenting were difficult as both sides struggled with pride and conflict.
Speaking about the experience, Obinna explained that he later realised the ongoing fights were not helping anyone. He said the situation forced him to reflect and rethink how he was handling the matter.
“So there is this thing that I learnt from co-parenting. Initially, nilikua the part that you have said about bitterness,” he said.
Obinna admitted that ego played a big role during that period. He said both sides were trying to prove who was right, which only made the situation worse.
“There was a lot of ego at play. From the other side, from my side,” he explained.
He said the disagreements often turned into public fights. According to him, the conflicts would easily attract attention and prompt people to take sides.
“You are trying to flex, who can do what nini nini. And we would have these bad fights in the public space,” Obinna said.
Lessons from co-parenting
The media personality said he eventually realised that continuing with the fights was not the right path. He explained that he had to step back and consider the situation’s impact.
“And you see the way people take sides and whatever,” he said.
Obinna added that the turning point came when he reflected on how the constant fights were affecting his child. That moment pushed him to change how he handled the situation.
“And later I came to realise that ..I sat down, and I said if I continue doing this, it is the child that is suffering,” he said.
He said he then made a decision to stop the conflicts and focus on what mattered most. According to him, the well-being of the child became his main priority.
“And I stopped fighting, and I decided to focus on the child and me,” he said.
Currently, Oga Obinna’s co-parenting journey appears to be smoother based on what he shares on social media. The media personality occasionally posts moments with his children online.
