Legendary Ugandan singer Halima Namakula has revealed the good side of being a teenage mother as she had two of her children in her early days.
Back then age didn’t matter when it came to marriages. The parents married off their young daughters long as they were responsible in exchange of dowry.
These days teenage parents are seen as a disgrace and a few of them actually become successful in the future.
According to Halima Namakula, she doesn’t encourage teenage pregnancies and motherhood but she advises women to give birth early.
The talented singer said that she has got to enjoy her life after all her children became independent and she is happy with her life at the moment.

However she doesn’t forget that she lost her childhood and like any other girl she wishes she could be a child again to enjoy that life.
Halima Namakula “ I had two children when I was still a teenager, and my kids would call my mother their mum and call me by my name.
It was good for me to have children as a teenager because I finished early, but I lost my childhood,”
