Veteran Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi recounted how her father refused to send her to school because she was female. The sultry actress turned preacher, who recently bagged a PhD in Christian Education and Ministerial Arts, took to her Instagram page to make this revelation.
Narrating her experience, Anunobi said she is “still in awe of God”.
“He changes destinies in a twinkling of an eye. He is the rule breaker. He doesn’t need anyone’s permission to bless someone. Just look at the girl, whose rich father refused to train after high school, that he had no need for a girl child,” Anunobi wrote.
According to Anunobi, her father said that the female gender was “useless to him and can’t carry his name anywhere”.
He (would) rather concentrate and train the male children to any level of education that they desire.”
In spite of the challenge, Anunobi turned out to be an actress, a former beauty queen and now a preacher. She said she struggled all by herself.
“And now that girl child is a PH.D holder in Christian Education And Ministerial Arts. And she has engraved her father’s name on the map of the world and still carving it and will keep carving it until the return of Jesus Christ. I am that girl child and my name is apostle Dr Eucharia Akuwa Anunobi.”
Anunobi came into the limelight for her role in the film series Glamour Girls in 1994 and has over 90 films to her credit.
