<p>Nollywood actor, Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, aka Taymesan, has recounted the traumatic bullying he experienced while growing up.</p>, <p>The thespian said he was trolled to the point where his self-esteem was “on the floor.”</p>, <p>He, however, said the trolling made him to vigorously work on himself and become who he now is.</p>, <p>Taymesan appeared on the latest episode of The Nancy Isime Show alongside popular influencer, Enioluwa.</p>, <p>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.</p>, <p>“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 works.</p>, <p>“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.”</p>
