#BBNaija 2021: ‘My Mum Tried To Abort Me As An Unborn Child’ – Angel

One of the Housemates of the ongoing edition of Big Brother Naija, Angel Agnes Smith monotonously known as Angel. has disclosed that her mom attempted to abort her while she was an unborn child.

On Thursday, the female housemate made this revelation while there was a presentation of an artwork that delineate being “unbeatable”

Angel, speaking from personal experience, described the difficulties her mother had as a result of teenage pregnancy.

Angel said, “As some people know, my mum had me when she was pretty young when she was 16 years old and about to go into college.

“When she got pregnant for me, she thought she could handle it. I mean, it’s just a baby right? She was happy. Thus the yellow here at the beginning of the artwork.”

Angel continued, “She was happy to have me regardless of the age. She tells my granny, ‘oh mummy I’m pregnant but my granny goes ‘what will people say? You’re a woman, a young woman. You should be in college. You should be entering university like your mate, why would you want to keep a baby?’

“So my granny tells her, ‘you’re going to get an abortion.’ That’s what she said.

“My mum decided to go for the abortion but unfortunately, I remained. So now she’s thinking about the different things that’s going to happen.

“During that process, there was a lot of slut-shaming. ‘You’re 16 years and you’re pregnant, which is what most women go through. There was a lot of hurdles that she had to face.”

Saga, her teammate, was already crying at this point in her story.

She concluded her speech by expressing that her mother overcame obstacles and that her presence on BBNaija at the age of 21 is proof that her mother did everything right.

The housemates were moved by her presentation, and they all walked up to her with embraces and a few tears in their eyes.
