In a recent discussion with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV, Wright elaborated on her decision to step away from her career to provide care for her children overseas, highlighting the significance of her presence during pivotal moments in their development.

She underscored the distinctive role that mothers fulfill in their children’s lives, asserting that their involvement is essential.

Wright also addressed the sacrifices that mothers often endure, including navigating difficult circumstances.

The actress assured her supporters that she has returned to the industry, enthusiastic about embracing new projects and opportunities.

She said: “Well I decided to diversify into something else for a bit but I’m back. Well if you call it making money, I didn’t fall out of love with acting, and I haven’t done it all.

“There are still lots of things I’m looking forward to doing, but I had to take a break for my children,my children called so I had to take a break. You know there’s a time in a woman’s life and the children’s lives where they need you more than ever, my children are abroad so I had to leave everything to go take care of my children.

“Because I’d always tell anybody, you don’t want to leave your children with anybody abroad, especially at a certain age, that’s when they’ll say, ” ‘ You’re not my mum, you can’t talk to me like that, you’re not my dad you can’t tell me that’ , so be there yourself.

“That’s why we’re mothers, sometimes we even have to go for Omugwo, I’ve never heard a man go for Omugwo. If it’s because of what we come back with, have you thought of what we go through?

“Mothers will always be mothers, I’m not faulting any man for being a father, but in Yoruba land we’d say ” ‘ Iya ni iya mi,Baba ni baba gbobo aye, that means my mother is my mother, but a father can be a father to many”.
