Popular skit maker Oluwadolarz has opened up about a traumatic experience from his childhood, revealing that he was abused at the age of six by a female neighbour.
He spoke about the experience in a video posted on Instagram, where he explained how the incident has continued to affect him many years later.
According to him, he was living with his grandmother at the time because his mother was in nursing school.
The skitmaker said she would take him to the backyard of their house and engage in acts that a child of his age should never be exposed to.
He stated that the situation continued for about one year and left memories he has not been able to forget.
The content creator said the experience affected many parts of his life as he grew older.
He explained that it created problems with trust and relationships and also affected his private life in ways he still struggles to talk about openly.
He added that the emotional and mental impact has been hard to deal with.
Oluwadolarz said he decided to speak publicly because he has come to realize that many male children also face abuse but often remain silent.
He noted that some people do not believe boys can be victims, which makes it harder for them to speak up.
The musician called on parents and guardians to pay closer attention to their children and create an environment where they feel safe enough to report any troubling experience.
According to him, adults should be more careful about who has access to their children and to listen when a child tries to share something uncomfortable.
He said: “And to start with, first of all, Aunty it shall not be well with you. When I was 6, yes, I was 6, 5, 6 years old. Then I was living with my grandma, my mum was still in a nursing school then, so I was living with my grandma, so my grandma was like raising me and all that.
“So whenever I come back from school, she is always at home. She’s the only one at home; she’s always there. And whenever I come back from school, she would take me to the backyard of our house and do all sorts. From leaking to, it’s crazy, it happened for a year straight.
“Please parents, watch your kids. That’s the essence of this video because I’m beginning to realise that it happens to a lot of male children. I’m saying it now because I’m beginning to realise it could have messed up my life. I think it actually did mess up my life.
“Because it messed up my s£x life, messed up a lot of things about me that I can’t even say here. The damage that stuff causes or brings to one’s life is unforgettable. It’s almost unsolvable. But as for you, aunty, it won’t be better for you.”
