Veteran Nollywood actor, Stephen Alajemba, popularly known as Uwaezuoke or Nwaude Nwakpuda, has opened up about his childhood experience.
During a recent podcast on Yankontentfactory, Uwaezuoke recounted how he faced discrimination due to his facial features and stature.
The actor disclosed that he hails from a family of 11 children, and strangely, whenever any of the male children reaches the age of 25, they meet an untimely demise.
Reflecting on his birth, Uwaezuoke recounted how there was excitement within the community, which swiftly turned into apprehension upon seeing his face.
The actor disclosed that his mother faced challenges as well, as she never received any gifts from people who made excuses to avoid interacting with or carrying him.
Uwaezuoke further revealed that women often lose interest in him upon seeing his unique appearance and stature.
Despite these challenges, he asserted that no one is superior to him except God, maintaining a positive outlook on his life.
