Popular Nollywood actor Charles Inojie has explained how his biological parents abandoned him as a child back in the day and how he grew-up feeding on the breast milk of his grandmother.
The versatile thespian who shared his story with media personality Chude Jideonwo said that his mother abandoned him when he was just a year old and biological his father never catered for him because of his step mum who never liked him.
Charles said that when he approached his father for financial assistance to go to the University, his step mum kicked against and told him that her child will have to grow up for them to attend University together.
He said; ‘’When I wanted to go to the University, I came back to the house to tell him I had gotten admission. The woman began to laugh, faced my Dad and told him ‘If this one has to go to University, he will wait for my own child to grow so they will go together’, that is a child I am older than with 18 to 20 years”.
The actor said that when he graduated and was about to start work, he went to see his father for prayers but his father was ashamed that he abandoned him while he was growing up.
Charles said; ‘’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 job, 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.”
