I Was My Father's Second Wife - Juliana Olayode Reveals

Fast rising Nollywood actress, Juliana Olayode aka Toyo baby of Jenifa's diary has revealed that she was her father's second wife in her new book, titled "REBIRTH".

Revealing that she was her father's favorite child, as she was the only light skinned in their family, she wrote:

My dad always had a soft spot for me; we were close. In those days, when he wanted

to submit a quotation for a job, he would tell my mum to pray over it. After my mum had

prayed, he would bring it to me to do same. He believed in my prayers. I would say I was

my dad’s second wife.

She also wrote about how he bragged about being her father:

Whenever he wanted to visit his friends, then, he would take me along. He did that

not only because he enjoyed my company, but also because he took pleasure in hearing

the comments his friends passed, praising him for having a beautiful daughter. I am the

only fair-complexioned child of my parents and people called me Oyinbo. I was not only

fair but had long black hair.

On different occasions, my dad would have my mum wear a ready-made flowery

dress for me and any of my elder sisters available would pack my hair into two with

ribbons my dad bought. On our many trips, people would stop us and say nice things.

Whilst I was blushing, my dad would usually say, “na my pikin o”.

The next question, usually, was “why she con yellow like this and you con black?”

and my dad would say, “na God o”. He took delight in explaining that to any and

everyone who stopped us on our way to his friends’ houses. Some of the admirers gave

me money, some bought things for me, and for the female admirers, they took turns

touching my hair.
