Nigerian socialite and businessman Eze-Nwalie Nwogu, often known as Pretty Mike, has spoken out about being sexually assaulted as a youngster by two househelps.
He said that he lost his virginity at the age of 13 due to abuse.
In a recent episode of the In The Company Of Men podcast, Pretty Mike advised parents to give as much attention to their male children as they do to their female children.
He said, “Men have been encouraged to come out to talk about sexual abuse and being taken advantage of sexually at a tender age.
“I lost my virginity at 13 to my housemaid. Not even one, but two. Did that change my orientation about sex? 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.
“Because I have realised that parents are always consider their female children when hiring domestic workers but what about the male child? They are all young. There shouldn’t be a double standard. Look out for your kids and make sure nobody takes advantage of both the female and the male.”
