Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has opened up about her emotional journey as a teenage mother, admitting she hid her pregnancy at 20 due to societal stigma.
Speaking on the Talk To B podcast, Ajao shared how fear of judgment led her to conceal her pregnancy, revealing only to close family and friends. "People label you a ‘baby mama’ and say you won’t find a husband," she confessed.
Despite cultural expectations to complete education before motherhood, Ajao gave birth in May 2002 while studying at Yabatech. She compared her experience to early marriages like Omotola’s but emphasized the loneliness and shame she endured.
Now 44, Ajao has no regrets but highlights the mental toll of secrecy. Her story sheds light on Nigeria’s harsh stigma against young mothers and calls for more support.
