Controversial Nollywood star Nkechi Blessing
Nollywood movie star, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, is currently receiving a backlash after she was seen in a now-trending video whereby she shared dildos at her mother’s remembrance ceremony over the weekend.
The actress lost her mother a few days before her birthday in September 2021.
Most reactions which were sparked on the microblogging platform, Twitter, show users criticising the actress for her action.
For instance, a user of the platform, @iamoliver_may22, apparently upset with Nkechi Blessing’s choice of souvenir tweeted, “If no be say that Nkechi Blessing is a sick Bast*rd, how can you display dildos like that and share as souvenirs in a party where kids are present. A whole lot of you people stan mentally deranged and spiritually possessed animals posing as human beings. Cos wtf is this madness?” (sic)
Another tweep, @stephadamu, while airing his opinion on the issue wrote, “When will we agree that Nkechi Blessing has no common sense? What right-thinking human shares a dildo at a remembrance let alone her late mother’s remembrance.”
Also, a popular Twitter influencer @DanielRegha, described the Nkechi Blessing’s action as shameful, adding that the actress does not cherish her mother’s memory.
He tweeted, “Nkechi Blessing doesn’t cherish her mom’s memory otherwise she won’t be sharing dildos at her mother’s remembrance; What a shameful act. Anything for clout. It’s unfortunate that someone like this is being regarded as a role model. She needs help, something is wrong with her.” (Via Daily Trust)
