Nollywood Actor, Jude Orhorha, in a chat with
Saturday Beats, disclosed that he regrets
aborting his first child till date when asked
about an encounter which he would never
forget in life.
Here's what he said;
"I am regretting the fact that if I had my first
baby when I was about 22 years old, I would
know how old the child would be now. A girl
who got pregnant for me in 1992 aborted the
child. Back then, there was no GSM so she
stayed away from me. After the abortion, she
then came back to meet me to tell me that
her mother said she should not keep it and
when I asked her what she meant, she opened
up to me. She is Igbo but I am from Urhobo.
She said that her mother said she should not
keep the baby because I did not have money.
Back then, it was the Igbo marketers who
were selling spare parts that were making
waves. They were the ones who had money.
In the late 80s and early 90s, there was
nothing like Nollywood but only those that
were selling electronics.
It was the guys that sold spare parts that
were making money and they dated all the
Igbo girls, both the ones in school and the
ones at home. So if you were not selling
spare parts, you were not regarded as a rich
person. The girl left me because her mother
told her not to date me anymore.
Unfortunately, there was nothing like mobile
phones; if not I am sure she would have
called me. She just left for about two months.
When she told me, I broke up with her
immediately because I am a Catholic just like
my mother," he said.
He further said;
"My mother frowns at anything that has to do
with abortion and I was staying under her
roof; so there is no way the girl would have
aborted the child. I broke up with her
immediately. I have not seen her ever since
but I learnt she is in London now. Even when I
travelled to London, I did not see her even
though I searched for her in UK. However, I
have forgiven her because the incident
happened in 1992."
