Benson Okonkwo needs no introduction, having been in the news lately for controversial issues relating to being falsely engaged to a lady who cried wolf.
Benson has also acted in over 30 movies and worked with producers both home and abroad…should we say he has paid his dues?
Anyways,Benson recently poured out his heart exclusively to this blog recounting how he was raped by a 35year old neighbour when he was just ten years old.
The incident he says haunts him and talking about it might get it off his mind
He says'' things may not be glamorous as they seem and he has gone through a lot in the past and that is what made him the Benson Okonkwo many love and respect today in the industry. He says he was sexually abused at the tender age of 10 by his 35 year old neighbour named ms Amaka who is presently in the diaspora.he says Amaka was A lady whom he loved and respected as a ten year old but She took advantage of him on that fateful afternoon after luring him with sweets and biscuits!
She Stole his innocence and ever since he has been haunted by that painful,un-erase-able memory and that is why he puts passion into his acting job because its takes away his pain''
Benson says the incident did not make him hate women but rather made him weary of women,he affirms he loves ladies and is grateful to his teeming fans who are mostly ladies and thanks them for their support and belief in his talent.
*Child rape is such a painful thing to get over.Benson please get help.
God bless all the celebs who are opening up on their painful past..shows they are only human.
God bless you Eva Alordiah,I hope you get healing from the abuse you went through as a child.
Aweeeeeee. Sorry dear
ReplyDeleteIts well benson
ReplyDeleteTah!! This man was not abused jare. He is trying a little too hard to either prove he isnt gay or stay relevant. At 10, how did he know d exact age of Ms Amaka?
ReplyDeleteAbeg help me ask am,freaking liar like him...
DeleteHmmm anon 9:56,why are u vexing na,abi are u Miss Amaka?
Delete10yrs is not too small to know things around u or someone's age!
Anon 9.56am, y display ur stupidity here, at 10yrs one shld be in secondary school and shld be able to remember stuff very well.
DeleteMy thought exactly
DeleteBenson is one manwhore
This self pity scheme of him ll not help his dying career
He shud try harder
I can't be bothered anywhere
So u all believe this lying Benson? why is he trying so hard to disprove d fact that he is gay? Well, if he continues dis way, I'll be left wit no choice dan to release evidence of his sexual orientation. Dat guy probably got raped by a man if really he was abused.
DeleteCry me a Lagoon puleeezzee(RME)...And d moral of his story is???
ReplyDeleteBecause of people like you, many will continue to suffer in silence l. This actor is indirectly telling many to be watchful of their children and trust no one with them. Learn something.
DeleteCos of pple lyk u,anything goes in Nigeria,u re fed lies nd u fall hook,line and sinker.News is developing about somone,de run to dia publicist,strategize nd come up wit a pathetic story to throw pple like u off...wen will u learn?
DeleteStellam,Abeg live this boy alone Biko,he is just trying to stay relevant and also solicit for public sympathy.iAm yet to watch him in movies,I guess he isnt even a known face,Jim Iyke small brother-notice me by force.
ReplyDeletecan you imagine that???
ReplyDeleteLet me get the statistics...."Ms Amaka , 35 years old..'
what could have pushed her to do this? no man in her life hence 'congi'? lust? stupidity?????
what a disgrace of a woman!
I applaud your courage for speaking out Benson. if the ordeal still causes you to tremble in any way, I suggest you see a psychologist to help you get past it totally.
hmnnn....
Rape abi molested?
ReplyDeleteBenson did ur tin hard, wey dem rape u?
At dat age u were molested!
If I were dis guy, I go just lay low!
Cos dis sounds lik an xcuse for ur 'suposed' sexual preference.
Jesus Christ!!! Are you this stupid??
DeleteUgo chime, u are mentally ill, ur mum must av carelessly dropped u n u fell on ur head wen u were a baby.
DeleteU seem to enjoy abusing ppl witout mkin a point, u just met ur match!
Match? Oh my. Darling, I don't know what sort of thing u wanted me to say more to u. Read through ur comment again, go and read up on child rape, and then tell me how I could have done more than marvel that a brain processed this level of ignorance
DeleteOh I don turn to ur darlin now, hun?
DeleteLet me mk it mild, dear if u av a view abt an ish dat contradicts som1 else's view, be civil, get ur own space n display ur view.
I understnd dat times are hard, n d economy can be frustrating, don't com under people's comment transfering ur agression on an innocent person. #Cheers
Madam, let me put it to u mildly, ur ignorance about what rape is is very dangerous for all Nigerian children and adults. Go and get educated and stop being stupid.
DeleteIf he was abused,sorry about that. But I think he is trying to tell us why he stays away from dating women and is hooking up with guys, gay thins. Sorry for ur pain if it happened but don't use it to justify being gay.
ReplyDeleteAwwww Ben Pele. Your always strong n u will keep been great.. all the best.
ReplyDeleteCan't even imagine how a 10yrs old dick can satisfy a 35yrs old woman!
ReplyDeleteSo many deranged pple walking the streets as normal.
Sorry Benson.
Cute Benson.. ur soo simple to a fault.. u wil keep moving.. nothin shall stp u.. ur blessd.
ReplyDeleteBenson, stop commenting as M
DeleteU're so obvious
Gay ass modafucker
Kmt
You have not seen him in movies then your. Blind or. Carry on benson
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny, because a 10 year old boy is no more a baby. Atleast he should be in primary 5 at that age.
ReplyDeletePealie the child molester.
DeleteSo u all believe this lying Benson? why is he trying so hard to disprove d fact that he is gay? Well, if he continues dis way, I'll be left wit no choice dan to release evidence of his sexual orientation. Dat guy probably got raped by a man if really he was abused.
DeleteGod.... R u crazy woman? Remember u wil have a child someday. You will probably let him/her be molested at 5
DeleteVery sick lady
I hate nigerians for one thing we don't like to appreciate our stars we rather prefer to admire hollywood actors. Shhhhhhaamme SMh
ReplyDeleteThis is really a child abuse...am so shocked, Benson you are doing really well I have seen some of ur movies keep it up
ReplyDeleteThis dude is just seeking public sympathy,this shit isn't true!
ReplyDeleteThe guy is trying to trend himself and stay relevant,biko go and sleep
ReplyDeleteall you fools insulting him for lying are very stupid indeed.....if you were not his childhood friend or lived with him when he was younger and can prove it did not happen then you can talk, but if you cannot then shut your dirty mouths......that's how you fools will be talking like this kind of things don't happen in our country....it is cos of attitudes like these a lot of people go thru issues in this country and bottle them up without getting any kind of healing....enough of this cyber bulling where people just come out to insult others just because there stories are brought to blogs....even if you dont believe a story so far you have no proof of the fact either dont come out and insult anybody......bloody idiots
ReplyDeleteHello Benson okonkwo,how market?
DeleteHow market kwa ? Ahahahhahahahahahahahahah I laugh in chinese launage, abeg what is he selling ?
DeleteOloriburuku anonymous. You just insulted people and you are claming people come here to insult. You need deliverance. Ask Jim Iyke.
DeleteDid the rape also make him gay?? ( I heard he is gay ) that nah why i ask o!!
ReplyDeleteIs dat y u turned gay?
ReplyDeleteI know this sounds funny but not many many normal 9ja boys go vex say im do sometin with aunty.
ReplyDeleteI beg make dis dis man no com turn small tins to big deal. Na 9ja we dey o...no sme sme, no shaking....abi u be gay sef make you talk true......
This guy is such an attention whore. Get out of our faces Benson or whatever they call you and face your career.
ReplyDeleteWe hv read the intro n the main body of the essay. Can I conclude for u:
ReplyDeleteAfter the rape incident,I hated women. I prefer hard bodies,no breasts n one hole. So,no one should blame me for hacking into men's backside!!!
LoL.......I swear! Straight up!
DeleteLol. Hacker of like. Ass hacking things. Lol
Delete*Hacker of life*
DeleteAnd after that nko? *sips pakurumo*
ReplyDeletethis dude was probably molested by an older man, not a lady as he alleged, plus he is trying so hard to use girls talk to cover his sexuality, my name is Edward
ReplyDeleteI am not insensitive but how did she rape him? While a dildo or what? Na kwenshun o.
ReplyDeleteHey gf,u are losing ur touch. Pls go bk to Signed: "wide eyed" era.
DeleteNo she aint @ anon 2:46pm! What's the size of a 10yr old d***? Now imagine what pleasure a 35yr old cld possibly get from dat
DeleteHahahahahahahahha. What are you signing off as? Ok will revert. Signed:wide Eyed! Happy now?
DeleteNo wonder he ended up gay.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is sha looking for various avenues to get public sympathy and acceptance.
Which producers has he worked with home and abroad? I've never seen him in a movie. Not that I've watched a lot of Nollywood movies
This one na actor
DeleteThis guy is a Pirate.
ReplyDeleteIts molestation not Rape.

It is called statutory rape. Don't always expose your ignorance
DeleteEeeeya sorry you hear, but please stop behaving like a woman. He's looking 4 a way to cover up his shame.
