Popular actress and media personality, Osas Ajibade, has disclosed she intended for her pregnancy to be a private affair, but her career has made this difficult for her.
The actress who debuted her baby bump on the cover of the June issue of Genevieve magazine, further disclosed she has had to stick to her mother's superstitious beliefs since she took in.
The 32-year-old thespian who married her colleague in New York, last year, also told the magazine she is not interested in people's opinions about her first pregnancy.
She was quoted as saying:
"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."
"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."Osas who launched the Joyful Joy Foundation in memory of her sister, Joy Ighodaro, in 2013 also dished on some Benin superstitions she has adhered to, which include sticking a pin on her clothes to ward off evil and not telling anyone how far gone she is in her pregnancy.
She said:
"I am following my mum’s 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."
We wish her a safe and less cumbersome delivery.
