Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Josephina Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has narrated how her ex-Muslim lover’s family rejected her despite her readiness to convert to Islam.
Phyna who is a Catholic member was practicing Islam just to get acquainted with the religion but her estranged lover’s family insisted he must not marry her.
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality, Hero Daniels, the reality star said she eventually left the relationship after her ex-lover’s sisters and mother threatened to throw her out.
She said she found out that she was pregnant after exiting the relationship and informed her ex-lover but he told her that it was her “business.”
She said she aborted the pregnancy because the “embarrassment was too much” and her future ambition.
“I left, I went back home and found out I was pregnant. I called him and he said that’s my business.
“I would have loved to keep the child but the embarrassment was too much. Not even one person in the family wanted a Christian and I felt I had a bright future and I knew it was going to draw me back so I was left to make the hardest choice ever”, she said.
