I don’t know what love is all about but I think of my daughter and my man is beginning to teach me. I got pregnant for my boyfriend about 16 years ago, when I was just 17 in Kano. I think his family was tribalistic because they didn’t want me around.
So, they offered me N2 million, which was a lot of money back then, to leave the baby and go. I actually wanted to accept the money but I thought to myself, ‘hey, you’re an orphan and this is the only blood you have.’
So, I left the money and decided to leave with my daughter. I was very hungry and I was coming from a very poor background. My mum and dad weren’t there. I was 14, living in the streets, where my boyfriend met me, he housed and then I eventually got pregnant for him when I was 17. But when I met my European husband, he said he would support my career and that is what has kept me going till date. We have been married for five years, but we’ve been dating for more than a decade.
