Chika Chukwu: Actress, singer as the ‘Latest Nollywood Bride’

She tapped the send the button just a few days back. If multitalented actress Chika Chukwu had done this say in April, a lot of people would have concluded that it was the usual ‘April fool’. But this is August and so when her close friends, fans and colleagues saw the post that the dark complexioned actress, singer and show host sent out to formally announce her one-year-old ‘marital status’, they were shocked stiff. ‘When did this happen….when did you get married that we didn’t know’, was how a few of her fans and colleagues reacted on her instagram handle.

Those who didn’t want to engage her on social media simply congratulated her but as the actress who made name playing Jumoke in the long rested sitcom on television ‘Fuji House of Commotion’ later revealed, she has not stopped receiving inbox messages and calls from people who wondered why she didn’t publicize her marriage ceremony or who felt that she should have made her marriage to Brian Ahern, who is Irish, public. ‘’But my brother, it is true oo and it is for real’’ Chika said in response to a question on whether the post she made about her new status was for real or a mere stunt. ‘’I personally don’t do loud as a policy. I like to keep things simple and low so as not to bug people. But it is for real. Make people no vex’’ she said, sounding apologetic.
