I was a virgin, raped and infected with STI by an entertainer’ – BBN housemate, Ifu Ennada reveals
No Case Matched!Former Big Brother Naija 2018, housemate, Ifu Ennada who was recently in a war of words with rapper CDQ has revealed some bitter truth about her virginity; how she got raped and how she managed the depression that followed afterwards.
Read her words below. ”My Virginity Story; Rape & Depression
When I was in the Big Brother House, emotions were raised when during a Truth or Dare game I said I’d not really had sex.
People interpreted that as me claiming to be a Virgin.
The truth is in 2016 I was raped by someone in the entertainment industry, before then I was a Virgin. This person also infected me with an STI… I was also threatened by this person and was very scared of social media’s bashing with the usual questions of “what was she wearing!” ” why did she go to his house ?”… so in all my sadness and depression I decided to tell the world what had happened to me using film as a medium.
I was inspired to write and produce my film – Tears of A Broken Virgin. I got a lot of help from social media – people volunteered to work for me free of charge even my director – Benny Atagame Alli
Though some parts of my film is fiction, the bulk of it was inspired by my story. The lead character’s name is Ada which is a short form of my name Adanne- popularly pronounced as Ennada.
Because of my sad experience I battled depression, developed trust issues and found it hard to connect with people especially men.
I wanted to tell my story and also pass a strong message to rape victims and rapists…I hope I was able to do that with my film.
I intend to expand this into a feature length film. I hope everyone out there is inspired to stand up against rape”, she narrated.
