Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has spoken about a painful mistake from his teenage years that led him to leave Nigeria for London many years ago.
In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, Folarin recounted how he accidentally got a young girl in his neighbourhood pregnant.
He explained that it was never intentional and that both of them were still very young at the time.
When news of the pregnancy became known, the situation quickly became difficult. According to him, even his close friends in the area began openly mocking him.
He said one of his friends started calling him *Baba Ibeji*, a phrase meaning father of twins. The repeated ridicule and embarrassment eventually became too much for him to handle.
Folarin admitted that if he and the young woman had not been mocked by their peers, he might have remained and seriously considered taking responsibility as a father.
However, the constant teasing weakened his determination.
