Former BBNaija housemate and CEO of BeautIFU, Ifuennada has revealed that her perception of men was distorted while she was growing up. The star revealed how she suffered various forms of abuse from different men, including her relatives, former employer, people she trusted and many more. She recounted how growing up in an abusive environment damages her as she witnessed men beating their wives for no reason. All of this happened after she saw a “shirtless hot guy” from her balcony and instead of going for him she dismissed him as being same as others. While Ifuennada begged for a redemption she revealed that all she is today was shaped by all the experiences she had suffered. She also revealed that she had even thought of the option of having kids through a surrogate just so she could avoid having anything to do with the opposite sex.

My people I think I legit need redemption. So this just happened – From my balcony I saw a shirtless hot guy and went “oh my goodness, this guy is sweet…” I started thinking of the things that could be, but in that same breath I quickly said “abeg nothing dey there jare, dis one go be like the rest.” When I went back inside I reflected on my actions and just marveled at how far I’ve come in blocking men out of my life. Do you know that sometimes I imagine myself having kids through a surrogate just so that I don’t disrupt my life and future with the problems that come with being in a relationship with a man? But can anyone really blame me? I grew to watching and hearing countless news of 72 year old men raping 3yrs old girls and getting away with it. Sadly, this is still a norm in my country. I grew up in an environment where men beat their wives for no reason just to prove a point – I still can’t tell what the point is. I have suffered a variety of abuse in the hands of relatives, a former employer and even people I trusted.
As a young child everywhere I looked, the society made it seem like only men had the power to make wealth and even the women didn’t help… So how can anyone even blame me for the way that I am? Growing up I felt men were monsters, it also didn’t help that the government was/is run by mostly men who have eveything but good thoughts for Nigeria, so I was a very f*cked up kid even though I was/am a bright Star. I was a Rebel.I have been trying to make adjustments but I don’t think my redemption will happen in one day.”
