Comedian Gordons has spoken about his humble beginnings. He opened up on how he was wanted dead by his own parents
He said that speaking about growing up makes him emotional and depressed
Veteran Nigerian comedian Godwin Komone better known as Gordons has spoken about his background and it left people emotional.
The multi-talented comedian in a recent interview with Tosin Clegg spoke about his career, family, marriage and growing up as a child.
Gordons spoke about how his parents wanted him dead after he was delivered simply because he had seven teeth in his mouth when he was born.
In his words, “I was a child that wasn’t loved, as I didn’t receive any love from my parents at all. At some point, I was a sacrilege to them as I was born with seven teeth in my mouth, and some people said it was a mark of God, while others said it was a taboo. So I was treated like a curse and a sin right from the beginning. It was difficult, as they wanted to kill me, but thank God for some people who said they shouldn’t as they didn’t know my destiny. Growing up was hell but we used the pain we grew up with in the past to do what we have done today so that those going through things would have hope no matter what they are going through.”
