Singer, Aituaje Iruobe, aka Waje, went down memory lane during the week when she recounted how she got pregnant while writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations.

The ‘Frenemies’ singer shared her experience in a recent Instagram Live chat with gospel rapper, Bouqui.

She said, “I got into a relationship in SS3 and the relationship went from ‘puppy love’ to sexual. At that time, I felt I loved him and that (sex) was the only way I could express my love. At that time, I saw a fine boy who liked me, though we quarreled on several occasions. I didn’t understand the responsibility that came with making decisions like that.

“I got pregnant and I remembered one afternoon, I was in the bathroom when someone came to my house and told me my pastor wanted to see me. I knew that day, there were two things that would happen ― either I died or I died. Everything in me got drained.

“Anyway, I went to see the pastor. He was in a conference room with other pastors and he said to me, ‘If you lie, you will die, because you are standing in front of God, Holy Spirit and me.’

“He asked me, ‘Are you pregnant?’ and I said, ‘Yes’. He was so disappointed. He told me he wanted to see me in church every Wednesday and Sunday but I would no longer sing in the choir.”

Waje also stated that her mother didn’t know she was pregnant until she was five months gone.

She said, “I wrote the WASSCE while pregnant and nobody knew; not even my mother. I told her about my pregnancy after five months.

“After one morning devotion, I told her I had something to tell her. I told her I was pregnant and wasn’t planning on aborting it.

“At that point, she already knew who was responsible because he used to come to our house. After telling her, she told me to go back to bed. However, I knew something in her broke because she didn’t go back to sleep.”

Anyways, that was the understanding the church had. It is necessary to be punished for a wrong act however, some don't understand how to balance it forgetting that "he who thinks he stands should take he'd lest he falls."

Most importantly, there are three sides to a story. Some people exaggerate a temporary ban and leave church instead.

Wait, were you expecting a standing ovation from your church?

to stop ur kind spreading

Pregnant when she was in SS3, ... Hoes will always be Hoes

Never let your current predicaments weigh you down.
I've been through so much but it didn't stop me from my dreams. I've achieved so much and I still dream bigger because I believe in God and myself.

You shamed your parents and you wanted the church to share in the shame?
Your musical career proved that shame lurks around you

The punishment was to get other choir members to avoid messing up. Else, the rest of the youths in that church will be flaunting their baby bumps like it's a fashion.

Hoes everywhere you go (someone help with that senator adeleke meme)

Why did you steal my thought?

Lol.

So what happened to the pregnancy/baby

I don't seems to understand why we have slots of childish been in nairaland. I tot Jesus Christ said he came 2 this world to rescue the sinners,if every body was born without sin then why do we have Christ.

They should allow you influence others abi,check siggy and be save from sexual woes

Because you were a bad influence.... Hook line and sinker..

Should they have allowed you to continue singing in the choir with pregnancy? I dont get.... If they allowed you, don't you know the others will see it as the right thing to do and begin to bring unwanted pregnancy to the choir.

The fact that you've been engaging in premarital sex all along and still singing in the choir should make them ban you even without pregnancy to instill decipline in the choir and body of Christ at large. So I wonder why you're making this post. Maybe you expected a pat in the back.

Make I see road abeg. .

Meaning??

Now, shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid!

For someone in the choir, she should know better. Or does choir look like a Redcross group?

Her name is WAJE!!!


No be this chick MI wan save from kidnappers for MI2 the movie.


P.s that is one of my best nigerian albums ever.

Olosho movement

They have the right to do so.

One of my friends asked me, “Despite failures in life, job & break ups, you always put smile & make people laugh. How?”

I step up and I smile.

I have a lot (not enough) of everything in my life. From lemons to oranges, I have squeezed every bit from them. Even when it comes to mangoes, I don't spare the seeds.

Nevertheless, I have made my life very simple:

Girlfriend: No matter what, there will always be another boy/family/relatives/social bullshit surrounding her which will make your life miserable, until you both are married. (I am still unmarried, by the way.)
Friend: No matter what you think, there won’t be another better jerk for you. Value the relationship!
Brother: No matter what you think, you are always on the wrong side with him. Fight, cheer & reconcile.
Sister: No matter what you think, she is the princess of your life. You are just another pawn to her.
Father: No matter what you think, that old brat sacrificed more than you, for you. Do not try to fit into his shoes.
Mother: Well… I cannot think of anything for her. No matter what I think, my stomach is always empty. She is Darwin’s mother. Evolution was not meant for her because she still feeds you like her newborn baby.
Golden advice is meant for those who ask for it.

Don’t ask but seek. Fall, crawl & rise. Repeat the process again.

You are smart if you are learning from other’s mistake.

Be best, be your own Einstein, people will spend their whole life in proving your relative theory.

No quote this time.

No golden advice.

See yourself in the mirror.

There is always a silver lining.

Keep smiling.
