Bisola Aiyeola Recounts Her Mum Nudged Her In The Right Direction After Getting Pregnant At An Early Age
Big Brother Naija’s former reality star, Bisola Aiyeola, has recounted how her mother stayed true to her words after discovering she was pregnant at a young age, and out of wedlock.
In an interview with Nolly Wire, the reality star, who welcomed her daughter when she was 23 years old, admitted that her mother was sad and emotional when she learned of her pregnancy.
However, her mom kept to her words of sticking by her side through it all.
The actress said her after discovering she was pregnant, her mother told her that she would help her take care of her baby after deliver so she could return to work and face her career, and she kept to her words.
The reality star stated that, to date, her mother still helps her out in raising her daughter.
The interviewer asked:
“Tell me about a moment in your life when somebody nudged you in the right direction, and it led to a life-changing part for you.”
Bisola responded:
“I have had several instances, I will say one I was nudged by my mum. When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, she got really emotional and sad at first, but she said something to me and stood by that word.
She told me, ‘Don’t worry, have the baby. When you have the baby, I will look after her, so you can go back to work or whatever it is you want to do. To this day, my mother still helps out with my daughter.”
Last year, in an interview with ex housemate, Maria Chike, Bisola opened up on the judgment she received for her strict parenting skills.
She revealed that people felt she was being overprotective by not allowing her daughter to use a phone until she was 16. Aiyeola recalled an incident when she caught her daughter opening a smart chat account and had to discipline her.
In 2022, Bisola opened up on the challenges of being a single mother and how her wedding didn’t hold after the marriage proposal.
She said nursing her baby was a huge challenge as she fed her with garri and used her mom’s old scarves, gentle, iro and Buba, as diapers.
