Fast rising Nollywood actress, Chiamaka Nwokeukwu, is gradually carving a niche for herself as she has been nominated in two awards; the Choice Awards and the AFRIFIMO Awards.
The actress who has featured in films like, Love and Lust, Innocent Devil, Play Girls, Between Two Worlds, Kurekere Babies to name a few, disclosed that one of the challenges she is currently facing is bleaching accusation.
According to her, “The problem I face right now is people saying I am bleaching when I am not. Actually before, when I did that my ‘Unborn Son’, I wasn’t this fair but people don’t know that I don’t use cream, I use a very nice soap. The soap I use is nice but inexpensive. The name is Jennifer Lopez Secret but I don’t use cream on my body. My mum doesn’t even like it. She said if i use cream, I would start having green veins and black spots. When I came into the industry, I was not fair, if you watch my Unborn Son, you won’t know it was me.”
In a swift response, Chiamaka explained that she decided to use the bathing soap because her aunt recommended it for her and she liked it and not because of the industry.
“It’s not because of the industry. Why I started using the soap was because my aunt told me the soap is good and in vogue and since I’m in the industry now, I need something that will make my colour camera-friendly, at least, something that will tone me up. Sometimes, people need to brush up and use good things, even if you don’t use cream, your soap should be nice. When you’re using my soap, you don’t need to use cream,” she explained.
