This appeal comes just months after another veteran actor, John Amaefule, requested financial assistance for his battle with a partial stroke and cancer.
Fans and colleagues have taken to social media to express support and pray for Njemanze’s recovery.
Nigerian socialite and businessman Eze-Nwalie Nwogu, aka Pretty Mike, has disclosed how he lost his innocence to two househelps as a teenager.
He explained that he was s*xually molested at age 13.
Speaking in a recent episode of the In The Company Of Men podcast, Pretty Mike urged parents to pay attention to their male children as much as they do to their female.
He said,
“Men have been encouraged to come out to talk about s*xual abuse and being taken advantage of s*xually at a tender age.
“I lost my virginity at 13 to my housemaid. Not even one, but two. Did that change my orientation about s*x? Yes. Am I coming out to report it to say that something negative happened to me? I think I have decided to let it go, especially at that age. Nowadays, 13 can even be seen as an adult sometimes.
“For people that were taken advantage at 6,7,8,9,10 it is totally no because they had no idea. I always tell parents to pay attention to your kids, not just the females but the males also.
