Nollywood actor Jigan Babaoja has revealed a dark aspect of his past, admitting that he used to express his love to his ex-lover through merciless physical violence.
Speaking in an interview with “Talk to B,” Babaoja shared insights into his challenging upbringing, disclosing that he spent his entire secondary school living alone, which had a profound impact on him.
Recounting his troubled past, Babaoja admitted, “During that period, I will tell you, throughout my secondary school, I was a virgin because there was nobody to talk to. Even the girlfriend I had at that time, the only way I felt I could show love to her was to beat her.”
He elaborated on his mindset at the time, revealing, “That was what was in my mind at that time because I liked to show I had power as people used to follow me a lot then. So if I called her to come here and she did not come, I would beat her up mercilessly. I did not know what they called love.”
Expressing remorse for his actions, Babaoja reflected on his past behavior, saying, “I pray God will forgive me. I remembered a lot of things I did to that girl; I am very, very sorry. I did a lot of bad things. She was even my first girlfriend. Her name was Kemi. I did it to the point that I was very mean; I set a plank for her, and she fell in the gutter. I was very wicked. I was not a peace-loving child, I swear; I was very wicked, I was a bad guy.”
Jigan Babaoja's candid admission sheds light on the personal growth and remorse he has experienced since those tumultuous times, highlighting the importance of self-reflection and transformation.
