WOW! WAJE celebrates her daughter and she looks nothing like her mother

Singer Waje has managed to keep details about her life private since she started her music career. Only a few celebrities are able to live a scandal-free life and make great music for their fans and 38-year-old Aituaje Iruobe is one of such. Emerald was born by Waje with an unknown old lover when she was a teenager her own self. To celebrate Emerald’s birthday, Waje shared a picture of her daughter on her Instagram page. She wrote: “My baby is 20 in a few days”.

Asides her great career and talent, many don’t know the Waje is a mother of a gorgeous girl named Emerald. The singer had the beautiful girl at quite a young age and raised her all by herself. With maturity and poise, Waje raised the young girl to be beautiful, confident and live her life out of the spotlight.

However, it appears the spotlight is finding her, giving the recently spotted photos on social media. Emerald who is only 19 going to 20 has the Internet drooling over how gorgeous she is. Some photos of her surfaced online and everyone can agree she got her hotness from her mama.

Waje born Aituaje Iruobe, is a Nigerian singer whose vocal range covers three octaves. She was born on September 1, 1980 in Akure, Ondo State in Nigeria then moved to Benin City, Edo State. Waje is an acronym for “Words aren’t just enough”. She was the first child and the first daughter in her family. Her parents got divorced when she was young.

Waje once wrote a touching note detailing her experience when she was pregnant with her daughter. The star singer said she worried over quitting her university education and if she would be able to raise her little girl alone.

She wrote: “Today, the 11th of October, is the International Day of the Girl Child and I really want to celebrate my childhood and thank God for how blessed I am to have the mother that trained me. I want to celebrate my daughter. The best thing that has ever happened to me and the most important person in my life!”.

She also highlighted her support system, which helped her scale the tough period of her pregnancy. She wrote: “I was one of the lucky ones, the ones with a support system of mothers, of parents pushing their daughters to pursue an education, to continue to dream, to work towards their dream and to continually inspire, motivate and push other young women to excel. “I look around me and I worry about the future of women and girls. I worry about the world I am building for my daughter and her friends. I worry about how our legislation affects girls.

I worry about our girls being married off to men their fathers’ age when they should be in school. I see inequality everywhere and I wonder how these young girls who we are celebrating today will cope if we sit and do nothing about their future. Does every single woman have to fight her way through and with everything to remain honourable and respected in her field? I wonder about all these things… But nothing bothers me more than the inaction by women in power and authority.

“Too often women fail to empower each other. We forget that our daughters too will follow our actions and not just our words and as the world shrinks into a global village, it will also be our fault that our girls are not sitting on the table and contributing to decisions that ultimately affect them. “There is so much work to do to re-educate the modern day woman to remind her that we are not each other’s adversaries but that there is strength in sisterhood. To teach the generations that come after about those that paved the way for us.

Now it is time to open doors for our daughters and sisters and to embrace our weaknesses together and turn them into strengths. “We can blame legislation. We can blame men. We can blame War but if we do not take responsibility for our future, we only have ourselves to blame!

I am speaking directly to everyone, especially women in positions of influence and power. What are we doing to educate, enlighten and empower young women and girls to compete equally in the society?
“It is time to take responsibility and save the world… It is time raise more women! In our case, It is time to educate and empower the African Woman!”.
