Ghanaian actress Kisa Gbleke has recounted the ordeal she went through when she got pregnant at age seventeen (17).
In an interview on Accra FM shared by ZionFelix on November 22, 2024, the actress noted that the person who impregnated her got carried away by a river, making her frustrated.
The actress emphasized that, upon advice from her parents and relatives, she wanted to commit suicide after hearing about the death of the young man.
"I won't say I came from a very poor background, but I got pregnant at age 17. I was willing to have the baby. Also, when I was a kid, I looked mature, and the funny thing was, I didn't even know my age. I grew up in a home where my mom didn't go to school, so all those documents were kept in a place where if you didn't ask, you wouldn't see them. So when the guy died, I wanted to kill myself.
"But at the end of the day, if he were alive, I would have been in the village right now, maybe as a woman with three kids. Like my friends who are currently in the village. So everything that happens in life happens for a reason," she said
Kisa Gbleke also noted that she was advised by her parents and relatives to abort her current baby when she got pregnant.
"You know, when I got pregnant, I was advised to abort the baby. Because the father didn't want to play a role in his life. Even my doctor advised me to abort the baby. So I told him I didn't want to. At that moment, I thought my life was going to end when I had the baby.
"I had lands in Volta, a car, so I was like, I am going to sell my car because I was depressed and wanted to relocate. So I sold my car and some lands in Volta and I relocated to the States to have my baby. But now my child is what I use to pay my rent, and even what I eat, he is the one taking care of me because of the ambassadorial deal he brings in. Now the dad is playing a role in his," she added.
