Nollywood Icon Patience Umeh Reveals Hidden Side Of Chioma Chukwuka

Veteran Nollywood actress, Patience Umeh, has revealed that her colleague, Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha, is known for turning down kissing and romantic roles in movies.

Speaking on a recent episode of the “Where Is The Lie” podcast, Umeh explained that Chioma’s stance is rooted in her strict Catholic upbringing.

She said:

“Chioma Chukwuka was raised in a deeply Catholic home. She doesn’t take on kissing or romantic roles in movies. I’m saying this from personal experience. She was a legionary, always a good girl.”

Interestingly, Umeh’s claim contrasts with Chioma’s recent appearance in Netflix’s “Seven Doors”, where she played a romantic role and even shared an onscreen kiss with actor and producer Femi Adebayo.

Meanwhile, in a separate development, actress Eniola Ajao has refuted rumours of a romantic relationship with fellow actor Odunlade Adekola.

The speculations resurfaced after a viral video captured her avoiding the camera during the burial of Odunlade’s father last week.

Addressing the controversy in a series of Instagram stories on Wednesday, Ajao dismissed the claims as an attempt to tarnish her image, stressing that she cannot respond to every rumour.

She wrote:

“Life hits differently when you stop trying to prove you didn’t do what people say. I won’t waste energy fixing lies.”
