So, no one should judge me. I was in a 12-year relationship then and I was so young. The first abortion was when I was 19; I couldn\u2019t go home to tell my parents that I was pregnant at that age. And the two pregnancies were so early like two to three weeks that I could just use tablets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second was when I was 24, and I had finished serving then. I was ready to keep it but the relationship was getting toxic. He abused me and always beat me up. I said to myself that I couldn\u2019t do this anymore, so I took it out and that was how I ended the relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the massive backlash she received over her statement, Phyna said, \u201cIn my family as a whole, we are very open. People just read meaning to things and say whatever they want, I really do not care. I was just laughing at their responses to me because those that know me know me, I am an open book.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually responded to that woman when she said \u2018I can\u2019t respond to you, you are an abortionist,\u2019 and then I said yes that I have committed abortions. It is fine how people want to see me, I am not ashamed of anything about myself. If I ever make a mistake, I own up to my mistakes. When my dad called me about it, he asked why I said something like that, I just said daddy I learnt it from you oo.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>));\/**\/<\/script><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Brother Naija Level Up winner, Ijeoma Otabor better known as Phyna has opened up on her abortions.
