In her words:
“Happy Birthday Son
Imagine being 20 Plus and having a son that’s 10! What felt like the biggest mistake of my life at the time, became my biggest blessing today! I was told to abort this child, that I was too young, that it would affect my career, and that I was a teenager; somehow, I managed to summon the courage to carry on! I don’t know how I did it, My mum she became his mum, oh my mum, I owe everything to you! Imagine raising a kid all by yourself and the father tells you he’s not ready for kids! And till now, it’s just me, my boy, my mum, and guess what? We have never lacked anything good! It’s been God! It’s been such a ride! Which is why, lately, I am open to adopting more kids! It’s an emotional day for me! Say No To Abortion! I Love You, Son! Happy Birthday”.
