Iretiola Doyle reveals her teenage pregnancy experience

Wedding Party star actress, Iretiola Doyle has revealed how her mother treated her when she got pregnant as a teenager.


Iretiola Doyle, who was pregnant at the age of 17 disclosed that her family members, including her mother, were harsh on her when she got pregnant.

She made this known while speaking at a religious gathering in Lagos, she said: ''You have to surround yourself with people who love and support you. I was blessed to have people around me, unfortunately these people are not family members. 

My mother did not take it lightly with me. I wouldn’t have handled it the way she did because I belong to a different generation. 

I was nurtured by people I met and they constantly reminded me that my life did not end with that bad situation.”

The Nollywood actress added that she came from a very good home, if not by wealth but by value.

Iretiola said: "Education was not negotiable in my family. I didn’t want that one mistake to define who I was. But it was quite difficult for me because it was the talk of the town for quite a number of years."
