Award-winning Nigerian comedian, filmmaker, and digital content powerhouse Taaooma (real name Maryam Apaokagi-Greene) has opened up in a rare and heartfelt reflection on her new role as a mother. In an emotional moment that has touched fans across the globe, she shared:
“I never thought I’d love anyone more than myself… but I do. My daughter changed everything.”
Known for her sharp wit, multiple-character skits, and uncanny ability to spotlight everyday Nigerian life through comedy, Taaooma has always been a voice of creativity, humor, and authenticity. But behind the laughter, a new chapter of her life is unfolding—one filled with deeper purpose, vulnerability, and unshakable love.
Married to video director and music producer Abdulazeez Greene (popularly known as Abula) since 2021, the couple welcomed their baby girl in 2024. Since then, Taaooma says her entire worldview has shifted.
"Motherhood has made me discover a new layer of strength. There’s no such thing as ‘I can’t’ anymore. I’m doing things I never imagined I had the energy or patience for. It’s like becoming a different person—but in the best way possible," she shared.
While she’s long been admired for her discipline and work ethic, Taaooma admits that becoming a mother has introduced her to a kind of love that is boundless and transforming. Her journey—though private until now—reflects a profound evolution not just as an artist, but as a woman.
“This is nothing but real love. Growth. Motherhood. It’s changed everything.”
Fans, peers, and followers have reacted with admiration and warmth, praising her honesty and celebrating the new life she has embraced. Known for maintaining a balance between her public persona and private life, Taaooma’s openness about motherhood offers a glimpse into the deep emotional shifts that come with raising a child—especially while navigating the demands of a creative career.
As she continues to share relatable content and push creative boundaries, this new phase of life is poised to inspire a fresh wave of authenticity in her work—rooted in real love, real growth, and the beautiful, challenging, and powerful experience that is motherhood.
