When Akothee and her ex husband Jared Okello broke up, their first born daughter Vesha Okello was only 4-years-old and still needed parental love.

At the time, she could not comprehend how a couple who once loved one another could end up getting divorced.

This saw Vesha go to live with her paternal grandmother and life was not a bed of roses. Speaking during an interview with Massawe Jappani she said

' I used to feel like an ORPHAN.

I would mop the house and an uncle of mine would come with muddy shoes and dirtify the house.

So I had to mop again.'

Tired of the treatment. Vesha used a public phone and called her mother and threatened to kill herself.

'After threatening to kill myself if she did not come pick us up.'

She then sent my aunt Cebbie to come pick us up and we joined her (mum) in Nairobi.'

 Vesha added that her mother's hard work has enabled them enjoy the good life they are currently living.
She however added that her mum has no time to pamper the kids and that while at home everyone is expected to work.

 'Any man who will marry any of Akothee's daughters will have landed a good wife,she has brought us very well.'
