2020 is testing everything: physical health, mental health, love , friendships, work/jobs, finances, spirituality... Everything.
Everyone you know is fighting battles, but smiling on the outside.
Be kinder with your words.
Just be kind.
From the day I made the decision, took two years and seven months to finally be able to leave. Forgiving the abuser is the easy part. It's forgetting that's hard...one small trigger and you remember.
There's a reason I'm still traumatised by a particular brand of deodorant spray.
And it's a wrap filming

. Against all odds, I did not fail or break, I did not lose my mind. I made it to the end.

I got a lot of kind wishes, but really, Father's Day is not for me. I am sorry if I hurt you by not accepting the wishes.
I'm a single Mom, yes. But, I'm not a father. And I'll never be one. I'm just doing all I can to raise these two in the best way a Mom can.
Love and light.
In 2022, I'm going to be sought after, desired, wanted, needed, toasted, fought for, looked after, hungered for, taken on dates, trips, spoiled, pampered, loved, loved some more, loved again.
I try not to talk about my experiences, because it throws me back into a dark space. I just am grateful I could leave and I had family who helped. I started life from scratch, literally. And my friends, God raised an army of friends that have held me through the hardest days.
As an actor, there should be a self tape/monologue/reel on your social media page.
I refer someone to your Instagram page for instance, but all they see is vibes and fancy photoshoots, nothing to relate to acting. And, unedited headshot are best. Biko, help us to help you.
One reason I shy away from hangouts is because, most people there will be more invested in putting every second of it up on social media. Can we just have recklessly pure, unbridled fun without worrying that there's a camera trained on you?
Excited to share that my first television film premieres next week on Africa Magic Showcase Channel 151 on March 10th, 8pm. More details will pour in but here are some sweet crumbs.

Sometimes, I want to tweet how I'm feeling. But, I delete. Because folks here will make you feel like shit for feeling or wanting or needing longing. Like I should be less human because I'm here.
My first television film as Producer is coming to Africa Magic Showcase DSTV CH151 on March 10th at 8pm.
Worked on this with my cast & crew who are family.
Im bursting with joy and I'm inviting you all to watch ALLI EID DINNER.

Yes. A relationship can be private, but not a secret. If they are making others feel like they got a chance with them, then you're oh-so-single. That's that.
Why are you my friend if you can't mention my name in places that matter? Why are you my friend if you pay me less for a service you'd pay someone else more for?
Then again, please don't bother mentioning my name if tomorrow, you'll claim that you "made me".
Dear Actor, I repeat, please, your head shot should be a clear, no makeup, unedited picture. Preferably up to bust level.
If you aren't sure what that looks like, a quick search on Google can help with that.
Help us to help you.
Last weekend, someone asked me: "How are you always smiling, no matter what? What do you do to spark joy?
Me: I make puff-puff. That gives me joy.
Puff-puff sparks joy. Fact!
May there be a reason for you to smile today, dears.
Love, light, and butterfly kisses,
Neker.
Being the Production Manager on this show was, for me, an unforgettable experience . Months of work went into this and, look at the beauty we created! Catch
#DiicheShowmax
when it premières on 29.09.2022!
My Dad had surgery on Wednesday. Surgery is successful. The post-op painkillers knocked him out in sleep for a couple of hours.
And then, Mom calls me, her voice hiding a bit of worry. She asks if I'm okay or anything is happening to me or my children.
Went out this weekend for the first time in over a year (no thanks to COVID & work). Posted my happy pictures. Woke up to a long epistle from a "friend" about my size/weight and single status. Talking about how "no man wants to carry children and carry load".
Monday morning. 🙂

#DiicheShowmax
Première tonight. Watching the look on people's faces as they reacted to the show and...goosebumps !
I really did this! Production Manager on this beauty.
Well done, Nneka. You, rockstar!
Yes, I am very proud of my children. And no, I am not ashamed of my status as a single mom. You ask why I don't ever put up their pictures? Because this is a different world from when I was a kid. Too many not-so-right-in-the-head people out here.
To all the single moms out there, who like me, are probably having a hard time cracking their faces into smiles, because of all the stuff they've got going on...I see you, Phenomenal Woman!
Your smiles will come. Pull your chin out of your chest and wait for it.
You're awesome!

I'm bursting with excitement. I enjoyed every minute of creating this beautiful chaos. We had way too much fun.
Happy Unscripted Day!

Being a single mom has stretched me to limits I didn't know existed. It has also made me realize that I am stronger than I think I am. And also, these V two treasures were definitely hand-picked and tailor made by God himself for me. They complete me.
Happy Mothers Day to me.
I'm not perfect.
Some days, everything that I am, is held together by sellotape.
But I'm here, still putting my shoulder to the wheel, and digging my heels into the ground.
I'm proud of me. I am.
Be kind. Just be kind. We're all just one breath away from goodbye.
And again, dear Nneka, never forget your mantra: No matter what they say or do, always be, the Sun.
Yayyyyyyy! Me!
Alli Eid Dinner movie holds a very special place in my heart for so many reasons. And we had an insane amount of fun and laughs making this! Thank you

is trending on all social media because of this. When I told y'all I had fun being Series Producer on this show, now you know why. The story, the cast, the crew... Every one came ready to deliver hits non-stop! I'm so proud of us!
Congratulations to everyone, crew and cast of
#AMItura
. It certainly was no mean feat, but you did this effortlessly! Hats off to everyone of us, on achieving yet another milestone!
May there be more wins! As always!
ITURAAAAAAAA!
I've been super busy. Working round the clock. Literally. Grateful for family and friends who have been so supportive.
A new journey begins in the morning.
Hold my hand, Sweet Lord Jesus.
Not one word about the surgery or pandemic, instead, it was too much wild laughter.
Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy in the world, the one who tirelessly props my chin up when he feels it has been sunk in my chest for too long.
After all said (or tweeted), we all need each other. Women need men. Men need women. Women need women. Men need men. All for different reasons. All reasons are valid. Now, can't we all just get along?
I need to celebrate a win this week. Doesn't have to be my win. Can be a family member or friend's win. Something...anything.
Dear Universe, please. A win.
You say you want the kind of life/love/marriage/career that X, Y, and Z have... BUT dear, can you put in the work? Do you have what it takes? Can you put in the man hours needed? Are you humble enough to learn? Are you ready?
I just want to be remembered for being a good person. A person that is/was love. I want to be remembered with a smile, sunshine, soft rain, sweet kisses, soft scents, strong friendships.
When I've said 'goodbye', I just want to be remembered for being a good person.
I pray that we all wake up to some good news. Something, anything...no matter how little, just something that causes our faces to crack with smiles.
Dear God, please...
I pray I fall in love with someone who's not always waiting for me to text first. I've always been the one who'd text/message first, and at random times during the day. Would be nice to be on the receiving end on this, on some days.
Thankful. For my brother
@edomalo
. How he patiently listens as I unravel and pour out my pains, frustration, confusion, everything. And he will always have a reassuring, gentle answer. Thank you for letting me exhale.
#AMEidDinner
fun fact: this cake was mixed and baked from scratch by me! The entire cast and crew ate it and said it was yummy!
Should I add Baker to my résume now or yes?
My mom sent me money with the narration "For a smile".
Because she knew how hard yesterday was for me.
God bless this woman for me. And keep her to a ripe old age where she enjoys from us all.
Nevertheless, I am thankful that, in spite of this, I have good people who are life and love and healing and help and laughter in my life.
What would I be without you diamonds?
I love you.

Aunty M, biko nu. I ran away from Instagram laughing too hard. Came here and watched it again with tears in my eyes.
So, bullets didn't harm him, but fire from her "konko below" gave him "one blow, seven akpu"! This life no balance! 🤣🤣🤣
Said a little prayer for all my friends out here. May everything good, come to you this year.
May you find love, peace, provision, protection, promotion, sound sleep, good health, laughter, help, favour, when and where you need it. Amen.
Happy New Year.
