I Almost Dumped School Because Of My Pregnancy---Waje
The International Day of the Girl Child was recently celebrated in some parts of the globe and Nigeria was not left out. Nigerian singer, Waje, used the day to celebrate her daughter, who she described as the most important person in her life.
Waje disclosed that why she was pregnant with her teenage daughter as a teenager then, different thoughts came through her especially about her academics, life and career as a musician. She thanked her mother, who she said stood solidly by her.
“When I was still pregnant with my daughter, I had very tough decisions to make; would I have to quit the university to raise my child? Would I be able to live my lifelong dream of being a musician? Would I be able to raise my daughter single handedly? How would I make ends meet?

“I was one of the lucky ones, the ones with a support system of mothers, of parents pushing their daughters to pursue an education, to continue to dream, to work towards their dream and to continually inspire, motivate and push other young women to excel,” she disclosed.
Waje further said, “I look around me and I worry about the future of women and girls. I worry about the world I am building for my daughter and her friends. I worry about how our legislation affects girls. I see inequality everywhere and I wonder how these young girls who we are celebrating today will cope if we sit and do nothing about their future.”
