Nollywood actor Uwazuoke has opened up about the hardships he faced during his childhood, revealing how he was treated differently because of his facial features and physical stature.

In a recent interview with yankontentfactory, the seasoned performer delved into his early years, shedding light on the challenges he encountered.

Uwazuoke disclosed that he hailed from a family with eleven children, where an unfortunate pattern emerged—male siblings tended to pass away around the age of 25. Reflecting on his birth, he remembered the initial excitement quickly turning to disappointment and aversion within his community once they set eyes on his face.

Growing up, Uwazuoke witnessed his mother receiving no gifts, while people often found excuses to avoid interacting with him or even carrying him. Additionally, he shared the disheartening experience of women losing interest in him upon seeing his appearance and physical stature.

Despite enduring discrimination and adversity, Uwazuoke remained steadfast, emphasizing that no one is superior to him except for God. His resilience serves as a testament to his strength and determination to overcome obstacles.
