On the latest issue of Genevieve magazine, Nollywood actress Osas Ajibade explained why she has been secretive regarding details of her pregnancy.
She stated that her sister died while expecting and this has made her mother extra cautious of her grandchild still in the womb. She noted that she is aware of the entertainment industry and its tendency towards judgement from people. She said,
This is my first child and I do not want people’s opinions or judgement at this time. I want to take back that power from the public and enjoy my pregnancy with all its challenges. Unfortunately, I am aware that this is the industry I signed up for and people will always judge.
She further expressed the sensitivity of her current status adding that her mom has a lot of superstitious beliefs about pregnancy and she has decided to carry out all of the aged woman’s instructions knowing her cultural heritage.
“It is a very sensitive period for us especially with my older sister passing away from malaria when she was with child. My mum is really protective and she is on board with my keeping this pregnancy a secret,’ she said.
Losing a child is not easy on any parent so I understand why she is being protective. She even shared with me some Benin superstitions like putting a pin on my clothes to ward off evil and never telling anyone how far gone I am in my pregnancy and I am following her instructions to the letter. We know the culture we are in. Let’s be real, there are bad belle people out there so to protect this blessing we are going to enjoy this moment privately,” she said.
Osas and fellow Tinsel star, Gbenro Ajibade tied the knot at a white wedding on July 4, 2015 during USA’s Independence Day in New York.
