‘How my fame affected my kids,’ Bob Manuel opens up

Nollywood veteran Bob-Manuel Udokwu has opened up about how his fame affected his children while growing up. The actor, while speaking with Chude Jideonwo, disclosed that his daughter was a victim of bullying.

Bob-Manuel explained that senior students often picked on his daughter because of his fame, adding that although she has moved past it, it deeply affected her then.

He spoke about the importance of quality education, stating that he insisted on his children attending public schools because he did as well.

“I have a good family. My kids are grown now. Being born and seeing your father is popular. And growing with all the inconveniences and all that. I remember when my daughter was in Queens College, some senior students were just punishing her for just being my daughter. Today when we talk about it, she will laugh. But it was not funny. She was in JSS 1. And I did not want to be in their face so that I do not distract them. We agreed they were going to go to public school, because I also attended public schools”, he stated.
