He said, “Men have been encouraged to come out to talk about sexual abuse and being taken advantage of sexually at a tender age.
“I lost my virginity at 13 to my housemaid. Not even one, but two. Did that change my orientation about sex? Yes. Am I coming out to report it to say that something negative happened to me? I think I have decided to let it go, especially at that age. Nowadays, 13 can even be seen as an adult sometimes.
“For people who were taken advantage at 6,7,8,9,10 ,it is no because they had no idea. I always tell parents to pay attention to their kids, not just the females, but the males also.
“Because I have realised that parents are always consider their female children when hiring domestic workers but what about the male child? They are all young. There shouldn’t be a double standard. Look out for your kids and make sure nobody takes advantage of both the female and the male.”
Pretty Mike is a popular Nigerian socialite and entrepreneur who grew up in Houston, Texas. He is one of Nigeria’s many controversial public figures, bringing him the name “King of Stunts.”
