Miss
Anambra 2015, Chidinma Okeke claims she was under the influence of
something she cannot ascertain when she did the video in an interview
with Telegraph.
Read below:
“Saturday Telegraph learnt from Chidinma’s mother, Lady Nora Okeke, that the former beauty queen performed the act under the influence of something which she could not ascertain. “As a mother watching the video broke my heart but I have stopped crying and committed everything to the hands of God who always fight my battle.
“Saturday Telegraph learnt from Chidinma’s mother, Lady Nora Okeke, that the former beauty queen performed the act under the influence of something which she could not ascertain. “As a mother watching the video broke my heart but I have stopped crying and committed everything to the hands of God who always fight my battle.
When I spoke with my daughter, I asked
her what led her into such an unholy act despite the fact that I brought
her up in a Godly way,” Okeke said in tears.
Chidinma stated: ‘Mummy even if I did
it, I didn’t know when it was done honestly, I’m surprised and confused.
I don’t know what happened mummy’. On whether or not the family
supported Chidinma to participate in the pageant, the mother recalled:
“Chidimma came home to say she was going to take part in Miss Anambra
Pageant and I discouraged her; I told her to use her beauty for God. She
went back to school and returned later to say she has been selected
among the final contestants.
I can never support any of my children
to take part in any beauty pageant because we are a Christian family and
don’t have liking for such things. Chidimma went into the pageant
without our knowledge but she is a little girl and we cannot abandon
her; she remains my little baby and the baby of the house. When she won,
it was her sister that called to tell us. She is my last child and came
seven years after my sixth child.”
Okeke stated: “Chidimma was simply a
pawn in the hands of both the organisers of Miss Anambra and her former
manager hence things went awry when she decided to free herself from the
bondage.” She added: “The entire controversy affected my daughter
because when I went to see her, she had emaciated so much and not
looking after herself at all, when I asked her why her hair was so
unkempt, she said, ‘Mummy leave that hair alone, that’s not my worry.’
My prayer is that they should not kill
my daughter.” Events leading up to the dethroning of Miss Anambra may
have started building when she decided to break away from the clutches
of her manager who the family did not name. In an interview Chidinma’s
father, Sir Jeremiah Okeke, declined comments on the controversy because
he felt the deed had already been done and could not be reversed.
His words partly read, “I have embraced
prayers and seeking the face of God and I know in no distant time he
will expose the people behind all this. They have rubbished my daughter
and my family name but my God will fight my battle, I trust Him and he
has never failed me. How can a beauty queen be borrowing money to pay
her driver, where is it done?
Why was the crown taken away from her
three to five months before the due date for another queen to emerge?
Why was I called and told to declare my daughter missing by the Managing
Director of AB? A man does not say all that he has seen…leave that
alone, God will expose the truth soon. This MD is neither known to me
nor my wife.
Then he called me to suggest I declare
my daughter missing? My response to him on the phone was- you say I
should declare my own daughter Chidinma missing? Okay, I have heard you
and I dropped the phone.”
Details gathered from Chidinma’s father
showed that the dethroned queen was not even paid the full amount of
N1million which she won while she was made to share every kobo she made
while reigning as a beauty queen until she couldn’t contain it anymore
and she was advised to take her complaints to the person currently
managing her. It was the tears of a drowning queen that made the current
manager to swing into action.
It was alleged that the take-over did
not go down well with the former manager who called to query Chidinma on
the move describing it as a wrong one to make.
HOW THE CAR WAS SEIZDED FROM HER
According to the embattled queen’s
father, “Chidinma was with her elder sister when she was called to go to
the ABS office with her car for a function only for her to return
shortly in tears and the elder sister asked what happened, and she said
that When she got to ABS, she was asked to hand over the keys of the car
which she did but before she left, she was shown a video of herself in
an immoral act.
She broke down in tears but was asked to
leave. God has finished the fight for me because even as an adult I
cannot even contain that kind of shock. It’s amazing how my daughter was
able to leave that place and remained sane not to have thrown herself
at an oncoming vehicle to die or commit suicide. Anybody that can do
that kind of thing does not mean well.
I thank God that my daughter is
recovering, I was with her yesterday (Monday, Nov. 7), though she is
still in shock, it will all pass and I can’t wait for the truth to be
exposed”. Reacting to Chidimma’s father’s statement, the Managing
Director of ABS, Nze Uche Nworah, denied ever calling the man on the
phone saying that he does not have the man’s number neither have they
met. “That’s a lie, I never spoke with Chidinma’s father and I have
never met him in person.
I hope he is not confusing me with
somebody else. The ABS management which is the management that is
handling the Miss Anambra pageant has followed the binding contract to
the letter. If you can access Chidinma, ask her to show you the contract
which she signed and her sister’s husband signed on behalf of the
father. I never called her father at any time; I am not even supposed to
be responding to what the man is saying but for the sake of clarity”.
When a call was put across to Chidimma’s
father to react to Nworah’s denial, he simply said, “okay” and
condemned the management’s negligence regarding knowing who the beauty
queen’s parents were. Despite the barrage of accusations and counter
accusations, only Chidinma has the key to unravelling the entire truth.
Until the truth is unearthed, it remains
to be seen if Chidinma, the dethroned Miss Anambra (2015), is truly a
lesbian who performed the act wilfully perhaps because of the gains that
accrued from it, or she was drugged to perform the act. For now, she
remains in hiding and only her parents can tell where she is.
The two-day journey through the very
lonely, tarred road to the small town of Ogboji to get the version of
the parents, who are visibly distraught as a result of the scandal, was
tough. It gave an insight into the origin of the embattled beauty queen,
a middle class, quiet and friendly family who believes in nothing
except God.
“My family planned on keeping the news
from me because I’m hypertensive, but I was later told and it won’t kill
me. I have seen worse things during my time in business; let God
continue to fight my battle”, Okeke said”
