To those asking for her certificates, she questioned if they had ever demanded the certificate of their parents before believing their age.
Trilogy this is my mum who is in her 50s, so how in God’s name I be 46??? Am I reducing my age because

She continued;
Reducing my age for Nollywood??
An actor can act both young and old roles, make-up can be applied
I am reducing my age because of school??
I have enough certificates already
Reducing my age because of relationship??
A good man will love is woman regardless of her age
Reduce my age for your validation?

Not everyone in a class are the same age.
I secondary school I had people 45 years old, in my masters my class rep was 23 and 34, my MBA I had both young and old..
Her concluding paragraph reads;
Are you aware wiki can be created and edited by anyone??
And not everything on Google is a fact??
Even Christ was married on Google…to the clowns talking unintelligently about my age, mind your biz that pays you…any age, race, class can act a movie… anyone can be a star at any age, no rules to follow…yes I am 35 years old and this will be the last time I will address this…
I don’t need to be an old woman to achieve anything or be an actress.
