The Afro-House star talked candidly about her upbringing in a polygamous family and the impact her father’s murder had on her family. Despite the complicated familial dynamic, Niniola depicted a loving and supportive upbringing. Growing up was enjoyable. I have three mothers because my father had three spouses. They looked after us when my dad was killed. She expressed her profound gratitude for the women who reared her following the passing of her father by saying, “I’m very grateful to my mothers, God bless them.”
The singer also discussed the lessons she took away from having such a big family. “I have nine siblings. We couldn’t be stringy at one time in our home,” she said, explaining how having so many family members instilled in them the importance of sharing and taking care of one another. Niniola’s response to a question about how she dealt with the loss of her father showed the extent of the anguish that endures even now, decades later. “I haven’t recovered. One of his relatives resembles him quite a little. I want to run away every time I see that dude. She acknowledged, “I miss my dad, and I will never forget him,” demonstrating how the tragedy of losing her father still has an impact on her today.
When Niniola was still a small girl, her father, Simeon Apata, a retired Nigerian Army commander and school owner, was slain in 1995. Although his passing had a long-lasting effect on the whole family, the children were able to get through the challenging time thanks to the network of support her three mothers established. Niniola’s own ideals, especially her dedication to education through her charitable work, were undoubtedly impacted by her father’s experience as a military commander and schoolteacher. Her father established an educational legacy throughout his lifetime, which is carried on by the Adopted Child Education foundation she oversees.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
