Toyin Lawani, a Nigerian socialite and fashionista, has revealed that she had a difficult and traumatic childhood.
Chude Jideonwo, a well-known figure in the media, recently spoke with her, and she divulged that when she was 15 years old, her uncle raped and impregnated her.
Toyin Lawani claims that her uncle raped her against her will, which resulted in a pregnancy that she was too young to carry to term and therefore had to have an abortion.
In her words:
"I have never revealed this to anyone before, and I'm not even sure I've disclosed it to my husband. I was raped by someone who lived in my neighborhood when I was 15 years old. I have told my husband about the rape before, and the person who did it was one of my uncles.
When someone bullies you to the point where you are unable to speak, it was so upsetting for me that I was unable to tell my mother about it. It was so bad. I confided in one of my aunties, who has since passed away; her name was Aunty Bola, and she took me to Ibadan, where she and my other aunties made an attempt to terminate the pregnancy.
It was at the same time that I had to go get my admission in university, and my mom, my mom is late – my dad is late, so don't want to break down, so I can't talk about it. It was at the same time that I had to go get my admission in university.
She continued, "They had to take me to a hospital in Ibadan because I didn't tell anyone about my pregnancy until it was about five months along, and it was so difficult for me."
Toyin Lawani's response when asked about how her mother felt about the incident was as follows: "I went to get my admission, and I fainted at the premises." The physician broke the news to her that I was pregnant and that they would have to perform an abortion.
It was too much for her to handle because I was so young at the time, and I didn't tell her everything because the person in question was a close friend.
That is the primary reason I have such a firm hand with my children. Someone else living in the same house as us made me feel as though I had betrayed my innocence to them.
My mother was always busy with her job. Because my mother wasn't there for me when I needed her the most, I came to resent the fact that I had to be that person for my own children. It shook me to the core.
