Popular Yoruba actress Kiitan Bukola has opened up about her family background, revealing details about her father’s large household and how it impacted the parental care she received.
During an interview shared on Biola Adebayo Ent’s official YouTube channel, Kiitan disclosed that her father had several wives and up to fourteen children. She admitted that growing up in such a large family meant she did not experience the parental love and attention she wished for from her father.
In her statement, she said, “The good part about family is that it made me understand what love is all about because I had to extend my love to a lot of people. My dad had many wives and up to 14 children, I didn’t enjoy parental love from him. There are some of my father’s children that I have never met before, I only met some of them online.”
I love marriage but at the same time, I am scared of it. Because I don’t want a situation whereby I will have my kids outside wedlock.
Kiitan Bukola also recounted her childhood experience, revealing that she hawk pounded-yam and efo soup at Sabo in Ondo State.
“used to hawk pounded yam and efo back in the days. I will wake up at 3:30 am because we had to take it to Sabo at Ondo State”.
