    For the sake of your children, take care of yourselves – Rita Edochie urges parents

    Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has urged parents and prospective parents to always take proper care of themselves for the sake of their children.

    The renowned actress, who took to her Instagram page @ritaedochie to give this advice, said that it was not that rosy for most children after the death of their parents.

    According to her, no one else can take care of your children or be a better shepherd to them except you, especially when they are still minors.

    “For the sake of your children, take care of yourselves, if you die and leave them behind you have simply exposed them to the vultures.

    “No one can ever be a better shepherd to them except you.

    “As parents, married or single, no one can adequately take care of your kids in your absence.

    “You are the only person who can do that, you are the only one who can read their minds, pay attention to them, understand them and love them to the core.

    “My prayer for you this morning is that you will live so long for your children and not die to leave them behind.

    “If you think that when you give up on life and die, that those you think they care about would take care of your kids then that is a big lie.

    “May God guide and preserve your lives, so as to live long for your children,” she wrote.

    Release Nnamdi Kanu, we need Biafra – Edochie

    Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie has demanded the release of the leader of Indigenous People, Nnamdi Kanu.

    Nnamdi Kanu was re-arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria.

    The IPOB leader who is facing trial for treasonable felony was scheduled to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday but could not be produced by the Federal Government.

    Soldiers on Tuesday prevented traders at the Timber and Building Materials markets in Orlu, Imo State, to open for the day’s business.

    Most of the traders in the two markets had on Monday refused to open their shops in solidarity with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who is facing terrorism-related charges at the Federal High court in Abuja.

    The soldiers, who were manning a checkpoint close to the two big markets in Orlu, barred the traders from opening their shops for any commercial activity.

    Edochie speaking on her Instagram page urged the federal government to release Kanu, adding that ‘they need Biafra’

    According to her, Igbos need Biafra as they can no longer be third class citizens in Nigeria.

    Her post reads: “Free Mazi NNamdi Kanu now to avoid ‘had I know.’

    “Allow us to go. We need Biafra. We can’t keep being third class citizens in our own land.”

    You’ll be the next— Rita Edochie fires critics over Ada Jesus’ death

    Veteran actress, Rita Edochie has said that those criticizing her over the death of Ada Jesus, a popular comedienne, “will be the next on the line.”

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Ada Jesus had last year accused Edochie of scheming with Odumeje, a controversial Onitsha-based clergyman, to stage fake miracles.

    The comedienne thereafter took ill. But amid the drama, the actress had initially cursed Ada Jesus for attempting to smear her reputation.

    Edochie, however, later announced that she had forgiven the entertainer.

    Following the demise of the comedienne, several Nigerians had criticized the actress over her initial comments.

    But on Monday, the actress shared a video of a young man calling out those blaming her for the way she handled the face-off with Ada Jesus.

    In a post accompanying the recording, the actress applauded the young man who made the video, while warning people to stop making unconfirmed claims against her.

     

    “For those of you still talking anyhow, you will be the next on line. I don’t know this boy but I want to thank you so much for saying the truth, my mind and that of my family,” she wrote on Instagram.

    The seed can’t be killed — Rita Edochie reacts amid criticism over Ada Jesus’ death

    Rita Edochie, Nollywood actress, has reacted amid criticism following the death of Ada Jesus, a comedienne.

    The entertainer, whose real name is Mmesoma Mercy Obi, died on Wednesday after a prolonged battle with kidney disease.

    As expected, Nigerians slammed Edochie shortly after news of her demise broke due to an earlier confrontation between the pair.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Ada Jesus had last year accused Edochie of conniving with Odumeje, controversial Onitsha-based clergyman, to stage fake miracles.

     

    She had taken ill after the incident. But amid the drama, the actress had initially cursed the comedienne for attempting to smear her reputation.

    “If I have ever asked Ada to bring someone for Odumeje for fake miracles, may I never get anything I want on this earth. But if I did not, Ada will never get up from this sickness,” she had said.

    However in another post, Edochie said she had decided to forgive the comedienne after several appeals from friends and fans.

     

    In the same vein, Odumeje also revealed that he had forgiven Ada Jesus.

    Following her demise, several Nigerians took to Twitter to condemn the actress, citing her earlier remarks. A segment of users, however, dismissed claims linking Edochie to Ada Jesus’ demise.

     

    “If there is one thing Odumeje and rita would be regreting now is them finding it difficult to forgive Ada Jesus when she came pleading. Rita Edochie will have to live with the regret of the statement she made, saying Ada will never come out from that problem. Now she is dead,” a user wrote.

    “If it’s true that Ada Jesus is dead then Rita Edochie has some questions to answer,” another wrote.

    But in an Instagram post on Thursday, the actress hinted that she remains untroubled by the accusations.

    “Lord Almighty made me a strong woman and that I will remain. The seed cannot be killed,” she wrote.
