Charles Inojie, a Nollywood actor, has spoken about his childhood problems and how his parents’ divorce affected him at a young age.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the movie icon claimed that his mother abandoned him when he was only 8 months old, leaving his grandma with little choice but to breastfeed him.
To make matters worse, his father remarried and prioritised his second wife over him. According to the actor, his second wife begged his father to choose between her and him, and his father couldn’t leave the lady who was sexually gratifying him for his son since she was sexually satisfying him.
The actor revealed that his stepmother made his life terrible and that he only had 8 months with his father before he left. He also revealed that when he was 20 years old, his stepmother pushed his father not to cater for him, telling him to wait till her child grew up so they could attend university together.
Years later, the Nollywood legend saw his mother, but there was already a significant rift between them because he had no emotional tie to her.
“”When I wanted to go to the University, I became back to the house to tell him I have gotten admission. The woman began to laugh, faced my Dad and told him ‘If this one has to go the University, he will wait for my own child to grow so they will go together’, that is a child I an older than with 18 to 20 years”
I met him and we sat for close to thirty minutes, nobody talked. I was crying, he was crying. I said ‘I have to start going but that I am now out of school. My first work, they said Papa must pray for his child’. I bought a drink and put N5000 in an envelop and asked that he prays for me and he said he wasn’t going to touch it and that his conscience will not let him having not contributed a dime.”
