"My Mother Went To The Grave With 90 Per Cent Of My Secrets" – Chioma Akpotha Reveals

Posted: 25 May 2018 11:26 PM PDT


Chioma Akpotha, Nollywood actress, always remembers May 22 of every year as a day she had  set aside to celebrate the life of her mother who passed on about five years ago.

The popular actress in a chat recently told Saturday Beats that she was so close to her mother as the first daughter that her mother went to her grave with 90 per cent of her secrets.

The highly principled Nollywood actress whose eyes were filled with tears as she spoke, recalled the way her left-handed mother used to deal with her whenever she do something wrong, but despite all the slaps and beatings she received, it never affected the love she had for her mother.

See what she said: 


"It has been five years that my mother has died and till date, I still miss everything about her. Being the first daughter, she was my best friend but whenever I misbehaved, she hardly used a cane on me, instead, she would use her hand, slippers, pestle, among other things. She was left handed but I always forgot that aspect whenever she was beating me, so there were times that I would expect the slap on the right cheek and would have guarded the right side of my face only for the slap to land on the left side. I miss her a lot. My mother went to her grave with about 90 per cent of my secret and that is how close I was to my mother. She was practically my backbone. When I had my first son, my mother stayed with us for about a year. Although she had a restaurant at the time, she abandoned it to look after my child and would accompany me to the various movie sets I had to attend. She was running her business from the movie location. I miss everything about her. There is a saying that Igbo people have which states, 'the day you lose your mother is the day you lose your God. Her death has thrown me into the open but I believe she is now an angel who watches over me from up above and she is fighting for me," she said.

The Nollywood screen goddess disclosed to Saturday Beats that although she was flogged several times by her mother, it was not because she was a stubborn child. She disclosed further that although she joined the Nigerian movie industry as a teenager, she never dared to embrace any vice because of the kind of upbringing her mother gave her.


There is a saying that Igbo people have which states, "the day you lose your mother is the day you lose your God. Her death has thrown me into the open but I believe she is now an angel who watches over me from up above and she is fighting for me," she said.

Linda Ikeji Is Wrong For Getting Pregnant Out Of Wedlock, No S*x Before Marriage - Funto Ibitoye

Posted: 25 May 2018 05:48 PM PDT

The news of Linda Ikeji's pregnancy, shook the internet.  She made known her pregnancy news last Sunday. However, it ought to be a good news but she got bashed by people for different reasons. Many people felt disappointed knowing she got pregnant before marriage because she was an advocate of Celibacy, many young girls who looked up to her and practice no s*x before marriage but this singular act of her, was unacceptable by them. Supporting her actions, she said if you finally find someone you love you can have s*x with him. 

Funto Ibitoye @funtoibuoye in a post via her Instagram page felt Linda's reasons was not justifiable, that having s*x before marriage is a sin and shouldn't be acceptable. 

I need to shake a particular table tonight, if not, I won't sleep well… So I heard the gist about Linda Ikeji getting pregnant and all and that's really her business, I mean, in this generation of baby mamas, getting pregnant out of wedlock is now something we celebrate and even buy aso ebi for… But that's not what I'm here to talk about tonight.. 

It's really her life and at the end of it, she'd stand before God not me… But what is burning my soul right now is this her response that I just saw on her page…. So you preach celibacy and millions of people follow you to practice celibacy, then you get pregnant and now come to say you "NEVER said do not have s*x before marriage… 

Only have sex when you meet someone you love and loves you back." SERIOUSLY? I'm lost here! So I meet someone I love and have s*x, years down the line it doesn't work out, I meet another person I love and loves me back and we have s*x.. 

Six months later we break up and I meet another person I love and the cycle continues… Is this what celibacy is about what sort of double standard preaching is that? Following a cause only when its convenient… Preaching something and not practising it.. 

And then I see the comments and I'm SHOCKED at people I expect to know better congratulating her and clapping for her over the rubbish she's saying, leading young girls straight to hell.. I'm so vexed in my spirit right now… Linda Ikeji is not God and God has not changed His laws to suit our generation, FLEEING from sexual immorality hasn't been deleted from the bible and it won't be now that Linda is pregnant! DO NOT HAVE S*X UNTIL MARRIAGE!! S*X SHOULD ONLY HAPPEN IN MARRIAGE!! 

I don't care how many billions Linda is worth, having billions of money does not equate success in God's kingdom, so if she likes she should buy the entire Banana Island, good for her.. What is wrong is wrong, let's stop celebrating rubbish and nonsense because someone is "successful" and we clap at every rubbish she churns out while an entire generation of young ladies are being led straight to destruction. And if we Christians won't talk about these things, then what's the point of our Christianity.
