Veteran Nollywood actor Keppy Ekpenyong-Bassey had an amazing childhood and experienced different versions of his parents.
In an interview with Chude, the movie star disclosed his father, who was a military officer with guards on standby, would cry while scolding and spanking his children.
Bassey noted that was the sort of interactive relationship he had with his dad, even in the face of punishment.
He, however, spoke more fondly of his mum, who, according to him, was a rascal. The actor’s mum was not the typical Nigerian woman.
Bassey revealed while he was in university, his mother would show up with bottles of Brandy and packs of cigarettes, and call on everyone to drink.
With such a fun and amazing childhood, the actor has created the same safe space for his kids and their friends, who even find it easier to relate with him and his wife than their folks.
Keppy Ekpenyong-Bassey also reiterated the importance of communication as there is no one rule to excellent parenting.
