Veteran Nollywood actor Stephen Alajemba, aka Uwaezuoke, has revealed that he experienced rejection from women and people in general while growing up due to his physical and facial appearances.
The thespian said his mother told him that as a baby, people refused to carry him because he was not looking attractive.
He disclosed this in a recent interview with popular YouTuber, Yan Kontent Factory.
Alajemba said he promised his mother that he was going to make her proud because she told him that he did not “earn anything good” for her as a child.
He said ladies “run away” whenever they see his face.
The comic actor said he was unable to attract a lover until he was 20, adding that he got married to his first love at 23.
“Any lady who sees my facial look and stature runs away,” the actor said.
“Unfortunately before one accepted me I was already 20 to 22 years old. I married at 23. So the first person tasted it and confirmed it and she did not leave me anymore.
