Nollywood actress and The Wedding party star, Iretiola Doyle has opened up on details surrounding her childhood.
According to the actress, her family members, including her mother, were harsh on her when she got pregnant at the age of 17.
Speaking recently at Harvesters International Christian Centre in Lagos, she said:
‘You have to surround yourself with people who love and support you. I was blessed to have people around me; unfortunately these people are not family members. My mother didn’t take it lightly with me. I wouldn’t have handled it the way she did because I belong to a different generation. I was nurtured by people I met and they constantly reminded me that my life didn’t end with that bad situation.”
She continued to say:
‘I felt I still remained who I was. I came from a very good home, not by wealth but value. Education was not negotiable in my family. I didn’t want that one mistake to define who I was. But it was quite difficult for me because it was the talk of the town for quite a number of years’.
