“He brought this 15-year-old who didn’t have the courage to look at my father. She gave him ten children and was still shy. Seven boys and three girls”.
Nigerians have reacted to Pete’s interview, Some in support of the Veteran actor, others otherwise.A Nigerian evangelist, Mrs Idahosa has described Pete’s Edochie mother as a victim of rape and child marriage
.In her words;
”How can he laugh about her being “shy?” Oga, she was not shy. She was a victim of rape and was a child bride. She wasn’t respectful of his age, she was afraid for her life. Know the difference and adjust this story… start telling the truth!”
