Chioma Omeruah a.k.a Chigurl gained prominence with a voicenote that went viral on BlackBerry. She was in bed one night, sleepless, and decided to record a song. At that time she was a wannabe actress who was inclined to do goofy accents to amuse herself.
This bubbly persona characterized by her exaggerated Igbo accent, made a way for her.
The sought after actress and comedienne took to her Instagram on Monday 14th of August paying tribute to her late dad. In her post, she wondered what her dad would think of her career path and hinted at getting some of her talent from him.

Hear her:” Your fine self would have turned 74 today. How time flies. I always wonder what you would think of me and my present career. Dad… People think I’m quite talented. I think I got some of that from you, to be honest. Thank you for our good “broughtupsy”.I will do my best to continue to make you proud and that OMERUAH name shall remain great.
“Happy birthday Sir… Sampson Emeka Omeruah….a true officer and gentleman… Permission to carry on”.
