Nollywood star Nkechi Blessing has been leaning on memories of her late mother as she navigates one of her most difficult moments in the public eye.
The actress, who has faced a wave of trolling in recent days, shared a heartfelt post featuring her mother. She reflected on the absence of the one person who always reminded her to stay strong whenever she was under fire online. For her, the void has only deepened, though she takes comfort in recalling the precious moments they shared. She appealed for her mother’s continued protection from the spiritual realm.
Her emotional post comes at a time when she has been at the center of online attacks. Nkechi recently pushed back against comments mocking her marital status, questioning why people felt entitled to tear down her personal life simply because she is a celebrity. She emphasized that behind the fame, public figures still have feelings and endure hurtful criticism.
The actress also addressed another incident where an unflattering gym picture of her was circulated. In response, she pointed out that it was unreasonable to expect her to look flawless after a workout, insisting that attempts to disgrace her would fail because she carries herself with grace.
Despite the negativity, Nkechi has been vocal about her determination to keep going. She posted a video of herself at the gym, calling herself a work in progress and encouraging herself to stay focused.
Just last week, she broke down while speaking about a woman allegedly working to damage her brand. With tears in her eyes, she reminded her followers that she is human and earns her living honorably, stressing that she does not rely on men for survival.
Her struggles come only weeks after she celebrated a major milestone — a lucrative endorsement deal she signed in July. The actress described it as a breakthrough that had been delayed but not denied, attributing the success to her faith in God.
“The only thing I am left with are sweet memories of you, mama.
Pls Return if possible.
I miss you every day. Nobody to call me each time I find myself on the blogs to remind me of how strong I am, of how I should not let what they say get to me.
Pls don’t stop watching over us”.
