“Why I Didn’t Abort Clarence Peters”-Clarion Chukwura Reveals

Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwura and music
legend, Sir Shina Peters are the parents of popular
music director, Clarence Peters. Clarion is said to
have taken care of Clarence on her own, without
Shina Peters help. Clarence started relating with
his father only 5-years ago.
In a new interview with The Nation, Clarion said
she had the opportunity to abort him initially, but
she didn't. Read why she made the decision to
keep him below:
She Said:
You know what? It is not because Clarence is
successful today. Clarence knows the truth and
those who are close to me know the truth. I didn't
have Clarence because I was too helpless to get
rid of his pregnancy. I had three sets of friends:
there was Dr. Ojikutu( pauses)… when I was in the
University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo
University), he was ready to do it, free of charge.
There was St. Lawrence in Ibadan and St. Jude
here in Lagos.
But each time, I said no. I lost my father when I
was 11 and he left a message that he was going to
come back to me through my first kid. So, when I
got pregnant, it kept ringing in my head that my
father was coming back to me. Even my ex-
husband knew how much my father meant to me.
It was on his 30th anniversary that I was able to let
go of the hurt of his death. Having Clarence was
deliberate. I just had the conviction that my father
was coming back. And from when he was born,
everyone calls him daddy, including my mum.
