Veteran Nollywood Actress

While celebrating her recently acquired Ph.D degree, Veteran Nollywood Actress, Eucharia Anunobi, took a trip down memory lane to narrate what her childhood experience was.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Anunobi disclosed that her father refused to send her to school even though he was rich enough to cater for her education that he felt it was useless sending a girl child to school.

The Actress however, noted that regardless of what her situation was, she worked hard to ensure that she engraved her father’s name on the map of the world adding, that God’s grace saw her through.

”I’m still in awe of God. He changes destinies in a twinkling of an eye, he is a rule-breaker and he doesn’t need anyone’s permission to bless another.

”Just look at the girl, whose rich father refused to train after high school, that he had no need for a girl child. That he rather concentrate and train the male children to any level of education that they desire.

”This girl child struggled all by herself and is a model, a former beauty queen, a famous superstar actress, a preacher. Right now, that girl child is a Ph.D. holder in Christian education and Ministerial Arts.

”Today she has engraved her father’s name on the map of the world and still craves it and will keep craving it until the return of Jesus Christ.

‘I’m that girl child and my name is Apostle Dr. Eucharia Akuwa Anunobi. I celebrate God on my behalf,” she wrote.

The now viral post reads: “In the presence of my family, kinsmen, friends, and my in-laws from Onitsha, I gave out my lovely daughter, Ifeatu Adaora Soludo, to her heartthrob after all traditional rites had been met and certified in line with the customs of the Isuofia community.

“I celebrate this historic event for two reasons. First, God has graciously blessed the larger Soludo family with another such marital union after 142 years.

“This is largely due to the fact that female children have been a rarity in the past three generations of the Soludo family.
