Controversial Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, has questioned why people feel entitled to attack her personal life while expecting her to remain silent.
In an Instagram post on Monday, the actress slammed online trolls who mocked her over her marital status.
Nkechi explained that being popular with millions of followers does not make her immune to hurtful words, stressing that she is human like everyone else.
“Is it okay for someone to come at you unprovoked? Marriage shame you. Child shame you. Just like that. Because you are a so-called celebrity. I’ve always said this. I’m not a celebrity, you know. I have got blood running through my veins. I am human just like you,” she said.
The actress added that she would not hesitate to respond to insults with the same energy.
“The fact that I have 2.6 million followers does not make me a demigod. Mark can decide to take the page at any time. Will my life stop? Mbakwa now. My darling, it is aura for aura. The only thing that keeps me sane is when I give you back what you dished to me. And then nobody sees what they say to you. They only see your reaction,” she noted.
Nkechi also shared a message from a troll who called her “a very useless person jumping from one man to another” and mocked her for not being married or having children.
According to her, she responded directly to the troll, saying: “You give me, I give you, then everybody go dey okay. Then you now run kitikiti, katakata, you were crying because of just one line. But you, you write plenty now. Like I said, I’m not a celebrity. You bring rubbish to me, I give you rubbish back.”
