For those who are users of social media, we are aware of Ezekiel Otuoma and how his life turned upside down following an illness. However, his wife Rachel did not give up on him. She was always by his side taking care of him. However, she recently came out bitter and exhausted complaining of being mistreated by her in-laws.
Cebbie Koks has come out to call out on those criticizing Rachel over her decision to have a break, urging them to let her rest and breath.
She wrote ” I just came across a viral video of Rachel Otuoma saying, âOtuoma ako kwao.â And hereâs the thingâbefore this, you were all up in arms criticizing her for taking care of Otuoma. Now that sheâs finally stepped back, youâre at it again, dragging her for bowing out and even claiming she squandered Otuomaâs money. Aaaah! Society is EXHAUSTING. Have you ever tried being a caregiver? Do you even know what it takes? The sacrifices, the emotional toll? Itâs easy to sit on the sidelines and judge, but caregiving is not for the fainthearted. I wish Rachel Otuoma nothing but peace of mind and happinessâshe deserves it. And I wish Otuoma well too. Let the girl rest! Let her breathe!”
A follower responded “I visited Rachel sometime back while delivering a wheelchair to the husband. Rachel is one in a million. Let God judge her and not fellow human beings. Caregivers need to be given 150% credit if not 100%. People should let her be.”
Another one added “Let that family try taking care of him too and using him to get money on tiktok and well wishers. Let’s see how easy it will get with them. Rachel did try. If it were the other way round she’d probably had been left, someone remarried and maybe she’d be no more. Caregiving is so hectic and exhausting!”
One more speculated “I appreciate her step. Let the family also ‘enjoy’ the money that Rachael was enjoying. They think tap tapping for survival is easy. Caregiving is not only draining but also stagnating. You as the caregiver give up alot to take care of the person. Rachael deserves peace. Rachel is a good woman. I cannot do half of what she has done on Otuoma. She deserves big flowers for taking care of her husband unreservedly. It’s good if she has finally decided to let them pull the train which ain’t as easy as they thought.
