A former Big Brother Naija [BBNaija] contestant, Alexandra Asogwa, aka Alex Unusual, has said that baby mamas deserve respect and not condemnation.

According to her, most of them didn’t intentionally put themselves in that position. Alex spoke against the backdrop of a stage play she is acting in as a baby mama.

On whether she would consider having a baby out of wedlock, Alex Unusual said,

“I hope to get married and have kids. However, I don’t judge baby mamas because many of them didn’t plan for things to be that way. Most of the kids were born out of love. They were, most likely, in love with whichever guy got them pregnant but maybe, things didn’t later work out. I feel we are supposed to give them the respect that they deserve because they have children.”

Speaking on her experience preparing for the stage play, Man Enough, which begins showing today, Alex said,

“This is actually my first time of being in a stage play. It has been very taxing because it is way more difficult than being on a movie set. If one is on set, one can have several takes but on stage, one has to get it right and show the right emotion. I have been trying so hard to be mentally prepared for it. I am handling it well and by God’s grace, it will turn out perfectly.”

Alex also admitted that she was feeling nervous about what the reaction of the audience would be. She added,

“I would not deny it; yes I’m feeling nervous. I am worried because I’m going on stage with people that have been doing this for a long time while it is my first. I really don’t know if I can keep up with their energy but I would put in my best and I’m sure that after the first showing, I would be relaxed.”

On how the project has stretched her, the reality show star said,

“Firstly, it has adjusted my timing in a positive way. I had to be at rehearsals early. Considering Lagos traffic, I had to wake up early and get there on time. It has also affected my diction because I have to make my statements very clear.”
