Nollywood Actor, Hank Anuku popularly known as Cobra who rose from
zero to hero playing major lead roles in movies both in Nigeria and
other African countries have tested positive to HIV.
The born-again actor revealed in an interview that he left Nigeria on
April 2011 to Zambia where he took part in various plays on teaching
about HIV and AIDS without his wife and two kids for six month
enjoying life and sleeping with 80 women.
"Life in Zambia was heaven on earth because we could enjoy life,
moving in all places but I was missing my family. During that time I
had quite a number of sexual activities and I slept with different
women. When I came back home I never took care of the family. I
started drinking life a fish and became an irresponsible husband
leaving the entire burden to my wife," he said.
The veteran actor also revealed he affected his wife knowing well he
could be HIV positive "I got tested while I was in Zambia after one of
my girlfriends advised me about her pregnancy. She had gone for
pregnancy tests and during that time she was tested for HIV and the
results was shocking, she was positive. She forced me to get tested
but I could not come to terms with the results. After I got tested I
came back to Zimbabwe and I kept quiet about the issue. I never told
my wife about the issue. I infected her but I regret. I later on
received some counseling and it well well," he explained.
"During my peak of popularity I had sex with approximately 80 women,
within Harare and Zambia. In 2002 it was so amazing to be on TV. I
abused the fame. To make matters worse I lacked counseling and I
failed to handle it properly, leaving me in this mud. I am now a born
again Christian with UFIC under the guidance of Prophet Emmanuel
Makandiwa." He continued.
