Diminutive Nigerian movie actor Victor Udochukwu Nwaogu, who is better known as Nkubi, has stated that he went into the movie industry because employers denied him employment opportunities due to his stature.
Nkubi is one of the most popular small-statured personalities in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The movie star disclosed this while speaking on the stigma of being a little person in a recent episode of the One On One podcast alongside his wife.
He explained that he was oblivious of his reality until he started getting rejected at job interviews after his secondary school.
“As a child you barely understand your reality but you knew you were different from every regular person.
“When the reality of being a little person first hit me was when I finished secondary school and I couldn’t secure minor jobs like others,” he stated.

Nkubi said regrettably, his daughter is already facing the same stigmatisation from internet trolls, who make derogatory comments about him due to her size.
He, however, noted that him and his wife are aware of the possibility of having a child with dwarfism and were emotionally prepared for it.
His wife added that despite their preparation for stigmatisation against their child, it still hurts sometimes to see trolls constantly bully her unprovoked.
She shared that a doctor advised her to get pregnant for another man to avoid giving birth to a child with dwarfism but she refused.
