Actor and media personality, Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, also known as Taymesan, has revealed how bullying shaped his life.
The actor on Nancy Isime’s show alongside Enioluwa, revealed how he had been forced to change who he was while schooling in UNILAG.
He said he was always trolled and his self esteem was dangling for help.
Taymesan went further to say even though the bullying was present but that equally made him stronger.
He said, “One of the things I have done over time is to do a lot of work on myself. I don’t think I have ever said this anywhere; but growing up, I was really trolled. I was trolled to the point where my self-esteem was on the floor.
“So, this is me coming into UNILAG as one of the most talented persons back in my school in Warri. And when I got into school, I didn’t understand why they were trolling me. I really wanted to be a popular-jingo, be everybody’s guy.
“But that didn’t happen. So, I was doing only church and just my school work.
“But, you know, one of the things I’m very grateful for, is that those things happen. Because it inspired me to do more. If I were working on a scale of 100, I did 200.
“I had too much to prove. But my turning point was … UNILAG changed me, I cannot even lie. And this is the first time I’m saying it anywhere.”
