Andrea Owusu, popularly known as Efia Odo broke down in tears as she gave an emotional description of her relationship with her father in a radio interview.
In an interview on an Accra based radio station, the Television personality who said she wasn’t mentally prepared to speak about her father revealed she didn’t have a father growing up.
According to her, her mother played the role of a father and mother due to the absence of her biological father.”
“Erm my father, he’s an amazing guy. Although i don’t know much about him. I didn’t have a father in my life. I had my mother who was my father, she was my everything. It is not my father’s fault that he wasn’t in my life. She moved to America, he was here in Ghana, so it hit me when you asked. I always talk about my mum and I feel bad that I don’t talk about my dad”.
The actress was however quick to state that her father, even though was not physically present while she was growing up, is not to be blamed.
“And it’s not my fault or his fault that I don’t talk about him. He wasn’t there and it’s not his fault that he wasn’t there. Since I’ve been in Ghana we keep in communication like I try to make sure he’s good but it’s hard for me to really open up to him because he’s like a stranger. I don’t know him but then there’s something in me like I don’t even care. And so it’s like a battle, it’s like a fight, it’s one of my demons that I’m actually trying to fix. It’s hard to fix your demons cause they can kill you. So I’m spiritually trying to gather the strength and mentally trying to gather the strength to face, have a conversation and open up to my father.”
