'I still remember the doctor’s words—‘Madam, what he has is stunted growth.’ And then, on a piece of paper, I saw another word—growth retardation. I didn’t even know how to pronounce it then, That was when I started hearing those words over and over again. My mother, with all her love, would always say, ‘You’re small. You can’t carry cement or do heavy work. Your only weapon is your mind—go and study.’ “So I knew that the only weapon I had to conquer the world was education. But it was painful. People taunted me. I cried several times. They called me names. It got so bad that, at times, I thought of ending it all” – Veteran Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedieze shares struggles he faced after knowing about his condition while growing up The World today calls him a legend. ❤️🙌 Greatness isn’t measured in height!
