Nigerian socialite and businessman Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, has revealed his experience of being sexually assaulted as a child by two house helps.

The traumatic ordeal led to him losing his virginity at just 13 years old.

Featuring on the “In The Company Of Men” podcast, Pretty Mike emphasized the importance of parental vigilance for male children, urging parents to provide the same level of attention and protection they offer 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.”
