Big Brother Naija Season 10 took a deeply emotional turn when housemate Sultana stunned both fans and fellow contestants with a revelation about her past. In a heartfelt conversation with Jason Jae during a quiet moment in the garden, she disclosed that she was forced into marriage at the age of 15 and is now the mother of two young daughters.
The reality star admitted that her early marriage was never her choice but a circumstance she was compelled to endure. “I was married off really young as a child,” she said with emotion, drawing a visibly shocked reaction from Jason Jae, who asked her to confirm her age at the time. “I was about 15,” she replied, leaving the atmosphere heavy with silence.
Sultana explained that although she never wanted the life that was thrust upon her, she found the courage to fight her way out. “Was it something I wanted? No, but it happened. The thing is, my stubbornness got me out of it,” she confessed, crediting her resilience and determination for helping her escape.
The BBNaija housemate also reflected on her growth and the struggle to balance her individuality with the expectations of her family. “I was already growing, and because I like piercings and tattoos, I sometimes think about the future and the kind of tattoo I want. But then I think of my mother,” she added, revealing the constant tension between her desire for self-expression and her mother’s influence.
