Popular Nollywood actor, Bolanle Ninalowo has revealed why he allowed Aliyah, his 18-year-old daughter, to get a navel piercing.
Ninalowo, in a chat with media personality VJ Adams said his daughter had initially came to him with the interest to pierce her tongue but he declined and encouraged her to consider other options.
He explained that she later came back to him and proposed a navel piercing, which he approved because it can be easily removed.
He added that he wanted to maintain a strong bond with his daughter, which was why he agreed to her request, drove her to the appointment, and covered the cost.
“I remember one day my daughter woke me up and said she wanna get a tongue ring, and I took a moment to think then I said, ‘Yo Aliyah, a tongue ring, I wouldn’t want to kiss a girl with a tongue ring but think about something else,’ and she was like okay, I will think about it,” he said.
“So she came back and said, ‘I now know what I want, I could get a belly button ring,’ and I am like that is more like it because you can remove it anytime. I drove her there myself. As much as I would rather not want that, but that was an opportunity for me to connect, so I would not stop that.”
