There are so many things to be grateful for and having her daughter, who would clock 10 come Thursday, November 14, is one of them.
Adetutu Alabi, a 31-year old tambour beading artist and a model, became known after international singer, Rihanna followed her on Instagram. She is also known to speak against bullying as she has been a victim over her tribal marks.
Adetutu got pregnant for her baby’s father and he asked her to keep it but one day, he left and she never heard of him again. Many years later, she has every reason to be thankful despite all the challenges she went through.
In the mood of celebration, the mother of one recalls an experience she had shortly after she delivered her baby.
Read her story below:
My daughter will be 10 years old on Thursday. And I’m so emotional and flooded with a lot of memories.
I remember that year I put to bed, it was a Christian home. So one of the pastor Mrs came to check on me and my new child. She said you are not beautiful but you created a beautiful child. I cringe but can’t reply because she is a pastor nah and they are to be feared and respected.
Then she found out I didn’t breastfed my daughter, she said “your child won’t listen to you when she grows up, she might become wayward.”
She said all these in Yoruba Language and I was so worried. When she left and it was just my daughter and I in the room, I brought out my tiny breastes and was talking to my daughter as I begged her to please Suck small nah even if it’s little. I was close to tears but instead this baby has a smirk on her face and smiled at me.
I wished she could talked and tell me the meaning of that smile but after that incident I didn’t try again till I took her to the orphanage.
Ten years later, the child she said won’t listen to me or would be wayward is giving peace of mind. I allowed her follow her dreams and I don’t really have much to worry.
The pastor Mrs lied. Fàdáràsimi is dope as a child. Ten years later, we are going stronger and more. I hope to make her smile on Thursday for her birthday. ????? #adetutuoj
