Raising kids is no easy feat, as anyone with a little one (or several) can attest. And while we all know that children are a blessing, no one ever warns you about the financial burden that comes with trying to give them the best life possible. Enter Oga Obinna, the self-proclaimed “father Abraham” of children, who recently shared the staggering amount of money he’s spent on his kids’ shopping.
In a post on social media, Obinna revealed that he had to fork over a whopping 31,000 Kenyan shillings for his children’s latest round of purchases. And, let’s be real, that’s enough to pay for a year’s worth of rent in some parts of Nairobi.

But the comedian didn’t just share the shopping list, he also had a word of advice for other couples out there: “I’ve been telling you, people, to use condoms, but you won’t listen,” he said as he pushed his overflowing cart.
However, this doesn’t mean Obinna regrets having his four little ones. On the contrary, he takes pride in each moment with them and has even opened a YouTube channel for his children, dubbed “The Obinnaz.”
But as any parent knows, raising kids isn’t just about the cute moments and milestones, it also requires sacrifices and responsibility. And that’s a message Obinna wants men, specifically, to take to heart. “If you enjoyed making them, you should also enjoy raising them,” he advised. “Don’t just c*m and go. It won’t be easy, especially if you have a baby mama or baby mama. Sacrifices have to be made.”
So, let Oga Obinna’s shopping list serve as a reminder to all parents-to-be: children are a blessing, but they come with a hefty price tag. And as the comedian himself says, “fatherhood should be enjoyed.” But it’s not just about enjoying the good moments, it’s also about taking on the responsibility and sacrifices that come with raising a child.
