Seyi Awolowo, Big Brother Naija reality star, has spoken up about his difficult childhood experiences.
Seyi, the late Nigerian nationalist Obafemi Awolowo’s grandson, talked in an interview with Chude Jideonwo.
He revealed that his father had disowned him several times due to the complications of growing up in a polygamous family.
Seyi claimed that his father had three marriages and kept thorough records on each of his children, reducing their identities to just names on a list.
He recalls his father sending letters to cut off his children, leaving them feeling alienated and unwanted.
“My dad disowned me a couple of times. Not just me, a couple of us, my dad married more than one wife. He married three wives. We all have files. As of right now, your name is just Seyi, full stop,” he said.
