Nollywood veteran actor, Charles Inojie has revealed that his mother abandoned him while he was a kid. The iconic thespian stated that his mother left him after his parent’s marriage crashed.

During a chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the movie star revealed that after his mother parted ways with his father, he had to be breastfed by his grandmother.

While making the revelation the 52-year-old actor said that he spent about eight months with his father. In part of the interview he said, “Since I was born, I have only lived with my dad for eight months. It got to a point, my father’s mistress asked him to choose between her and me. And he chose her.”

Inojie continued, “The day I was to meet my mother for the first time, I had seen a lot so nothing moved me anymore. I had been on the street for too long. One of my uncles called me and when I entered his room, he was there with a woman. They were all quiet.

“The next thing, I saw the woman cleaning tears. I said, ‘Brother Solo, it is like this woman is my mother.’ My Uncle replied, ‘Wow! Blood is thicker than water.’

“I said I was happy to see her but I do not know why she is crying. If she is expecting me to also cry and hug her, I am not going to do it. The marriage between my father and mother ended when I was still a baby. It was my grandmother who breastfed me.”
