Bisola Aiyeola, a former BBNaija housemate and Nollywood actress, has spoken out about her struggles as a young and single mother.
During an interview with Chude Jidenowo, the actress revealed that her mother was disappointed when she announced her pregnancy at the age of 23.
The reality TV personality claimed she became pregnant after finishing fifth in Project Fame West Africa in 2008.
Bisola saw her mother's unhappiness with her pregnancy as a turning point in her life.
"When I informed her I was having a baby after project stardom, my mother cried, like 'who's this boy who has taken my jewel?'" she explained. I'd never seen my mother cry before.
"She was like, 'this (project fame) was supposed to be the pivot that would propel us to success and happiness, and now you're expecting a baby.'" It broke my heart.
"That was the only time I'd seen my mother not be very supportive." I had my daughter when I was 23 years old. She's happier now that she's gotten over it and spoken to my sister, and she'll spontaneously tell me, 'thank you.' "I'm very proud of you."
The mother of one also disclosed that she was reared alone by her mother, a former wealthy businesswoman.
However, everything went wrong for them following a fire.
"My mother owned two stores on Lagos Island." We were living [big], and others referred to us as "London children." My mother traveled extensively. But then life hit her. Her store was destroyed by fire. She was never able to get back on her feet.
"We struck rock bottom and began living from one family member's house to the next," she added.
Bisola said that her father abandoned them when she was three, and she only saw him again when she was thirteen.
"I don't have many recollections of my father because he wasn't really present in our lives," she explained. He departed when I was three, and I only saw him once after that. When he came to visit, I was maybe 13 years old.
"I called years before he died. I hoped that talking to him would ignite something in him and make him want to contact me more. But then I realized there was nothing here. 'Don't force it. He wasn't there for you when you were younger."
