Bambam: What I’ll do if my daughter asks for gender change

Bamike ‘Bambam’ Olawunmi, the 2018 BBNaija housemate, says she will go on her knees and pray if her daughter asks for gender change. 

The reality TV star spoke about childhood and parenting when she appeared on the recent edition of the ‘Rants, Bants and Confessions’ podcast.

Bambam also talked about the issue of gender reorientation which is gradually becoming prevalent in some parts of the world.

The reality star said before going to God in prayers, she will educate her daughter on the dissimilarity between both genders’ sexual organs.

“If my child comes to me and say mum I wanna be a boy. I will ask questions and I’d reorient and reeducate and still tell the child to decide while I go on my knees and tell my father in heaven to fix her mind, this is what I shall do,” she said.

“I would educate and say baby. See, biologically, we have the same thing. Daddy’s own is different. I’m gonna open a book. I won’t go bring a naked man but I’ll show her this is what boys have that makes them boys and this is what girls have that makes them girls and according to history and according to creation, God created man this way and woman this way.

“But if something within you feels masculine? We are gonna talk to Jesus about it and fix it. But right now I am just gonna pray with you and tell you that right now, I don’t think that that mindset is correct.”

Speaking about parenting, Bambam said the role of a father and mother is equally important in the life of a child.

“I know the alphabet community has their opinions about dad and mum. They feel like it’s okay to have mum-mum, and dad-dad. Nobody is superior. But I believe in the balance of life,” she added.

“I believe that God created man, and woman for a reason and I have noticed according to statistics that a grounded man married to a grounded woman always raises an emotionally balanced child that eventually becomes a blessing to society.”

Bambam welcomed Zendaya Folakemi Adenibuyan, her baby girl, in 2020.
