My mother left me at a young age. My father choose his mistress over me – Veteran Actor, Charles Inojie

Nollywood actor and director, Charles Inojie, shared his childhood story, revealing that he was left as a baby by his mother, Raised by his grandmother and he lived with his father briefly but was later evicted by his father, who chose his mistress over him.

He shared that he reunited with his mother much later in life.

Speaking in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Inojie said, “Since I was born, I’ve 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.

“The day I was to meet my mother for the first time, I’ve seen a lot so nothing moved me anymore. I’ve 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’s like this woman is my mother.’ He said, ‘Wow! Blood is thicker than water.’ I said I’m happy to see her but I don’t know why she’s crying. If she’s expecting me to also cry and hug her, I’m 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.”
