Popular Nollywood actress, Eniola Ajao, has revealed the challenges she faced after she got pregnant at the age of 20.

Narrating her journey to motherhood, the actress stated that she hid the pregnancy due to societal expectations.

Speaking in an interview on Talk To B podcast, the filmmaker recounted how she isolates herself to avoid being called “baby mama”.

“You know things aren’t what they used to be at that time. Getting pregnant at the age of 20 was a bit dramatic, because you just feel like the world is coming against you. You might probably want to die at a point, and you wouldn’t be able to get married again because of the stigma.

“You would want to hide it from your parents and the public because it was considered a thing of shame at that time. Not that it was a thing of shame for me, but it was considered to be early.”

“Omotola got married at 18, lot of people married at 17, but where I come from, they want you to graduate, and do a couple of things. I was already in Yabatech when I got pregnant. I was hiding it. It’s just close friends and family members knew about it. Thinking that you may not get married, somebody calling you a baby mama, and you don’t want to get stigmatised”.

Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable has dragged veteran Fuji musician, Saheed Osupa for taking down his song from streaming platforms over copyright infringement.

Portable in a viral video on Instagram on Wednesday, blasted Saheed Osupa for reporting his song.

Portable had used one line from Osupa’s song, resulting in its removal from Spotify and Apple Music after complaints by the Fuji singer and his distributors.

Reacting to the development, Portable berated Osupa for not supporting his career, calling him a “big for nothing fellow”.

“Saheed Osupa, you are big for nothing. If you can’t embrace me, I will drag you. You sing Fuji while I sing hip hop. The same way I used a line from your music is the same way I removed three verses from Pasuma. But Pasuma never report my song. Keep your distance if you can’t embrace me like the way Pasuma abducted me like his own child. Osupa is a good man.”

Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, has publicly identified herself as a feminist.

Akindele made this revelation while advising the wife of popular skit maker, Kamo State.

Speaking in a viral video on social media, the actress noted that despite her feminist nature, she does not encourage women to disrespect their husbands.

While also urging men to treat women “specially”, she noted the importance of women’s economic power in their home.

“I’m a feminist but I don’t support a woman disrespecting her husband. Make sure you do what is right.

“I believe that we are not the weaker gender. Men are supposed to treat women specially with respect. Also men should not feel a woman belongs to the kitchen and talked to anyhow.

“We women are strong, and bold. Our economic power is very important, that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect the power so we can support our husbands.”
