The wife of popular Nigerian actor and comedian Victor Nwaogu, popularly known as Nkubi, Mrs. Chidinma Nwaogu, has sparked outrage online after sharing a disturbing experience with a medical doctor.
In a viral video, she recounted:
“When I did my scan and handed it to the doctor, the doctor was like, ‘does anyone have a threat of dwarfism in your family?’ I said yes, it was my husband. The doctor said, ‘why didn’t you go to your brother-in-law or go outside to get pregnant instead of getting pregnant for your husband, or even get a sperm donor?’”
She added, “That is what a doctor told me. Dwarfs are not given equal rights in this country at all.”
The video has gone viral, drawing widespread condemnation from social media users who described the doctor’s alleged remarks as unprofessional and discriminatory. Some called for stronger protections for people with dwarfism, while others debated the ethics and intentions behind the doctor’s advice.
Public reactions included comments such as:
“No one should ever be made to feel that their marriage, body, or ability to have a family is less valid because of their condition,” said one user.
The incident has reignited discussions about discrimination, medical ethics, and the rights of people with dwarfism in Nigeria.
