“I Have Been Molested Quite A Number Of Times” EME First Lady, Niyola Reveals |
Akinbo whose stage name is Niyola has revealed in a recent interview with Pearlcardy (soundcity host) on the SoundCityDivas show that she was molested while growing up.
The ‘love to love you’ singer revealed that she’s thankful that she wasn’t raped :
“I have been molested quite a number of times. Thankfully, I haven’t been raped. I have been molested by both people I never imagined would molest me…and obviously strangers as well. And it wasn’t once, it wasn’t twice. It wasn’t three times. But what helped me was that I started to try to figure out at that time why anybody would want to do that to me or to any female. I realized it was cowardice.
A lot of things could be done to prevent the situations and protect yourself. I remember for a very long time, I would never visit guys. And when I started to live alone when I was in school, you would never come to my room for any reason. For a very long time I was paranoid. But I realized that if you share your experience with people, your fellow women, you will find that it’s not that big a deal that you can’t come out and talk about it because it’s not your fault.that somebody tried to molest you. Such people should actually be punished and brought to book.”
