Omotola, Genevieve, PSquare, More Celebs Open Up On How They Lost Their Virginity

Sometimes I laugh at the questions that Nigerian journalists ask, but it's not that the questions are irrelevant, but they are asked so flippantly. One of such questions involves asking celebrities when they had sex for the first time. Sometimes the celebs answer directly, other times, they take a roundabout route.

One thing that should worry us, and make these journalists take these questions more seriously, is the number of celebrities who lost their virgnity as a result of rape or child sexual abuse. Most did not mention the names of their abusers though they say those people were adults at the time. And it's not just men abusing little girls, some male celebs were also abused by their female child minders. Read on...

UCHE OGBODO- I Lost My Virginity At The Age of 20

How did you lose your virginity?
"As I said earlier, I met my first boyfriend at 20. I came from a Christian home and was trained by Christian parents. My father made sure we imbibed the Christian values and this helped me very much in my career as an actress. I actually thought that as a Nollywood actress I was ripe enough to have a boyfriend and this will make me feel more sophisticated. I did not lose my virginity to an actor, you know."

How did you lose it?
"I did not stumble on losing my virginity, I was ready for it and I knew what I was getting into. "

How did you feel as a woman after losing your virginity?
"I was ready, I felt like I was ready to bring the world down. I felt like whatever it is, bring it on."


FOLUKE DARAMOLA- I Lost My Virginity To a Rapist

LAIDE BAKARE- My First Sexual Experience At 21 Was Horrible

When did you start having sex?
"I didn’t start having sex at early age. It took me a very long time even though it was something I had always been looking forward to. I looked up to it almost three years before I eventually had sex. It wasn’t a nice experience with my first boyfriend. We dated for six years and we had sex after four years of our relationship. I was 18 when I met my first boyfriend. I was still a virgin then, even while in the movie industry for close to three years. I think the first time I had sex I was about 21 years old. It was what I had been looking forward to, but it wasn't`t a nice experience."

OMOTOLA EKEINDE- I Was Still A Virgin When I Got Married at 18

"Given my mum's stern attitude, it is natural to think I didn't date anybody before I got married. But, that's not the case. I had boyfriends before I met my husband but it's not something too deep as people may think nowadays. You just go out and have lunch together and all the rest of it. As for deep my affairs went before I met my husband, it is just to say that I got married as a virgin, so that answers the rest of the question."

Omotola's husband seem to have buttressed his wife's earlier assertion when he responded thus in an interview:

"Hmmm! Truly and honestly, I can’t forget the very first day I made love to my wife."

I was scared, very scared. I saw hell. It was a terrible experience. I am not excited talking about it at all. Sex is not that good. I think sex is over-rated.

"....I relate with their father. I do not talk about it because I give respect to my children, it is their privacy and they want to keep it private. Like I said, we were not just compatible, I met him and in a very short period of time, we got married. We really did not have much time to date. I was 21 years old then. In less than three months, I was pregnant and in less than six months, I was married to him. It was a very short period of time. We basically got married because of the pregnancy. We did not want to have the baby out of wedlock. We got married and we later discovered that there was some part of him that I did not like and there were certain things about me that he did not also like. We were not friends and that was the disadvantage. He was not my first, he was actually my third. I feel apart with my first boyfriend. My second boyfriend, we did not get intimate. So my ex was actually the second but my third boyfriend. I was young, I had my first boyfriend when I was in SS3 and I was about 18 years old. Then we broke up and I had somebody else. We were more like brothers and sisters in Christ so we really did not have any sexual relationship. Then, I met my ex-husband. He was the second man I was intimate with when it came to a relationship. I was young and the kind of life he wanted was to be married and still live the bachelor life while I wanted him to be married and stay at home. That was were we started having issues and problems but we are still friends. He still communicates with his kids."

"I didn't even know I was pregnant then. It was my mother that found out. Remember I was her only child and she had me in her old age. She was so happy about my pregnancy. She was just pampering me. Left for her, she would have wanted me to have a child at the age of 12. She also would have loved me to have more than 10 children. My boyfriend's mother also knew I was pregnant. She too was happy. She had five children then. My boyfriend was even the last born and the other siblings were yet to give her a grandchild. She was eager to have me and the baby. In fact, she and my mother were dragging over who would take care of my daughter."
