Talented Nollywood actor, Osita Iheme has discussed in serious terms, his physical stature and revealed he cannot question God about his height.
He disclosed in a recent interview that he was born like any other child and doing well physically until he suddenly stopped growing.
Osita added that he has learnt to live with his condition as there is nothing he can do about it.
The 38-year-old often features in comic Nollywood scenes and has become an international brand in the entertainment industry.
In an emotion-laden interview Osita Iheme tells how he lost his father at an early age and has had to struggle through life to become somebody.
According to him, “I was born normal but then stopped growing. I was born in the early 80s. I mark my birthday every 20th February. I was a normal baby when I was born. I can’t say that this was when I stopped growing but I just grew up to find myself like this.
“I can’t question God but I keep working hard to become somebody in life. I lost my father at an early age under mysterious circumstances. With my daddy, I know my academic ambitions would have been realised up to PhD level and so many other things I wanted to do iff he was alive today. It really saddens my hear though. Recalling the sad event leading to the untimely death of my dear father, I was very young then. I can’t really say much about him because I was still a baby when he passed on.
“From what I learnt, he was a trader who travels a lot and was into merchandising. He made sure that his children were well brought up . He raised us with a good meal upbringing and the fear of God. He was that kind of father. He was a tall man.
“I just grew up to find myself like this. I just found myself like this and I can’t question God but I keep working hard to become somebody in life. Definitely my mother must have been worried about my growth but what can she do ? It has happened and she had to accept the situation the way it was. We are five children in the family including a girl and four boys. I am the last born. Tow of my siblings are based in Europe, while the other two are importers. The only lady is working with an oil company.”
