Mary Njoku, a Nollywood actress and filmmaker, has educated people about the real significance of family.
She stated on a social media page that a relative is someone who is related to you by blood rather than just family. She claims that a relative is someone to whom God first offered the chance to become a member of one’s family, though some would succeed while others would fail.
“Your relative is not necessarily your family; there’s a huge difference.
A relative is someone you are connected to by blood. Someone God gave the first opportunity to become your family. They get the first interview, so to speak.
Some will pass. Some will fail.
A relative becomes family when that blood connection is strengthened by love, loyalty, honesty, presence, and a genuine desire to see you happy and succeed.
And when a relative lacks all these things. When they resent your happiness, undermine your growth, disappear when you need them, or secretly want to see you fail, they aren’t family.
They are simply a relative who failed the interview and, in some cases, a resident evil”.
I agree with Mary Njoku’s perspective that not all relatives are truly allies; some can even become enemies, and there are indeed some who are terribly bad. However, if you are fortunate enough to have good relatives, it is important to cherish and nurture those relationships. Keeping them well and maintaining a strong bond can bring genuine support, love, and stability in life. True family should be a source of strength, and it is worth making an effort to preserve those positive connections.
