My
name is Precious Eze, writer, blogger, content producer and former close associate
to Nollywood Actor and now, Evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi and I would love to
correct the wrong misinterpretation of words from the amiable actor during an
interview she granted New Telegraph Newspapers.
While
I worked with Eucharia, it was always war between she, some journalists and I
on whether she should or shouldn’t grant print interviews as she was always
misquoted, twisted and misrepresented by reporters who flung around her asking
for one interview or the other and whenever she obliged anyone, the story is
always the same. MISQUOTATION.
Today
as I returned from my trip, I was amazed to see on social media, headlines
like, ‘‘I Regret Having A Son Out of Wedlock—Eucharia Anunobi’’ and I was like,
Eucharia that I know would never make such a statement because, she was
properly married, infact, one of the very few actors in Nollywood who got
married properly before either being pregnant nor having a child. So, there
wouldn’t have been any reason or reasons whatsoever for Eucharia to make such a
remark about her darling son, Raymond, whom she had given up a lot for in life.
In
curiosity, I had to go see the content of the interview and what she said that
would have meant having her son out of wedlock and I was amazed to see that she
was only being misrepresented by online and social media journalists who trade
in falsehood to make a living and here is what she said during the interview.
READ!!
Very well, we thank the God
Almighty, the Lord has been faithful.
What is it like being a single
parent?
‘‘It
was not a deliberate choice that I have made, it came by chance, it came by
mistake. God does not kill His children who have made mistakes. He would rather
sustain them and tell them that He is the owner of all things. The Lord has
been sustaining me as a single parent I don’t think about it, all I know is
‘God, you are the one that created me and the child that you gave to me’. So
whatever that is needed of me, it was a wrong choice that I made’’.
Eucharia
in the lines above never said she regretted having her son, having him out of
wedlock nor was her son a mistake. What she said was based on the question
asked her on single parenting and one begins to wonder why people would want to
gain from doing this.
She
maybe anything to different people, especially those who had never had close
contact with her person, but onething I give to her is her respect for the
matrimonial bed and the sanctity of marriage, which may not have worked in her
favour but assuredly, Eucharia would never have a child out of wedlock and I
can guarantee that if she is ready to have more children today, she would
rather get married again than have a child outside marriage.
This
is the Eucharia Anunobi I know.
