Nigerian singer, songwriter, photographer and philanthropist, Toyin Sokefun-Bello popularly known as TY Bello, has opened up how she was sexually abused while she was growing up.



While speaking on Accelerate TV series, ‘King Women’ which is produced by prolific video director, Kemi Adetiba, popular singer and celebrity photographer, TY Bello, revealed that she was molested as a child and that it had a negative effect on her during her formative years.

She said; “I was sexually abused as a child and because of this, I felt like there was something ugly about me that made me encounter this. This was not the abuser’s fault, this was me. I used to see other girls as flowers and I saw myself as dirty cement, hard and ugly. I never felt beautiful, everything was wrong with me, I was hairy and it was a problem.

“I always attributed everything that was about me to be the reason someone took advantage of me. I thought there was something wrong with me because if the others girls were like me perhaps they would be dirty like me but they were flowers.

“When a friend told me about salvation, she told me old things would be passed away and all things will become new. It was as if God could wash away that stench and I would become a girl because I didn’t feel like a girl.”

The Greenland singer said she was relieved when she found out that she was not the only one that was sexually abused as a child.

“I was shocked when I grew up and found that one out every three or four girls in my secondary school had suffered the same thing and I could tell them the same thing… that old thing can pass away.

“It was a relief to find that I was not the only one and a shock that nobody talks about it. That’s why salvation worked, I had a daddy and I was going to be a flower.”

The singer also spoke about how she handled the dissolution of KUSH, an all-female gospel band she belonged to for many years.

“When KUSH ended, I guess it was time for it to end because we were together for eight years and the fact we were different and wanted different things tore us apart. Breaking up was very painful and we couldn’t explain what happened to everyone so we had to sit back and watch the public dissect your life,” she said.

Sincerely, rapists deserve to be hanged

I don't just know how there manage to get away with rape.

wetin make we do with this kin info na ?

ATTENTION SEEKER. EVER SINCE ANTHONY JOSHUA HAS STOLE THE LIMELIGHT EVERYBODY IS UPPING THEIR GAME WITH CRAZY STORIES SO AS TO TAKE THE LIMELIGHT BACK LMAO

Of all forms of sexual assault, child molestation remains the most wicked.

You take advantage of an innocent, defenceless child. You are the devil we all talk about.

Many of these stories remain untold while the scars remain with the victim forever.

Things seem to be changing though. Social media has done a lot in this respect.

Now , many young men know that you have no right to force a lady just because you bought her a plate of rice or you gave her money for hair.

Or because she is dressed seductively or because he is handsome.

Raping a girl because she is seductively dressed is the same thing as somebody stealing money from your pocket because part of the money is exposed.

It is no justification...

not surprised about the people in ur area

Women no dey talk them real age nah...every year nah 16yr old birthday. And you come here dey claim abuse.

ok

Sorry about that, but everybody have their ugly past in one way or the other. Just thank your God that you are not where you used to be.

Say no to child molestation or any form of abuse but why is that everyone will always have something to talk about after been successful. She should have cried for help, so the fool can be dealt with, why is she telling us now??

The women will talk of about rape and domestic violence and while their male counterpart will talk about how they hawk Tomatoes, plantain and Rat poison

May God forgive you for this statement

Sometimes parents are at fault
There was a time
Around 2010
I was in Epe then
Went to see my babe who was just my friend then.
She had some kids that love to follow her home from church.

One day I was there and one of the kids came on me
Lying on my chest
She started acting funny
Took up her dress and moved my shirt up
And made show her belle button touched mine and was humping on me
I woke up and noticed
Quickly I acted as if I didn't understand what she was doing
She was looking at me thinking I would do something or scream
I acted as if she was doing nuffin
Told her ohhh stop jor my tummy is paining me
She was looking surprised and wondering if she didn't do it right
So I called my babe then we were just friends and told her.
We decided its best I pretend nuffin happened so I don't encourage her to think its OK

Kids learn a lot from thier parents
Cos I really don't know where she learnt it from.

Dumbo, read next time. She was abused when she was a child(a minor) not as an adult. You lack basic intelligence
