The reality star recognised her mistake and revealed she is working with organisations to sensitise girls about pregnancy.

The BBNaija star also thanked her fans, family and friends for their constant support.

Phyna slams troll who dragged her for not being a mother

Legit.ng earlier reported that Phyna got into an ugly online exchange with a Twitter troll who called her an abortionist.

Phyna reacted to the calling out by revealing that she's aborted twice, and that's because she didn't want to force a young guy who wasn't ready for a child's responsibility to take up such.

The hype priestess also noted that even though she doesn't have a child now, she isn't barren because of drug abuse.
