Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has voiced her frustration over her movie investments, revealing that she has spent more than ₦80 million on productions without turning a profit.

The actress said she has been funding movie productions since September but has yet to earn even a fraction of what she spent.

This has led her to think about stepping away from production and focusing on other ventures, such as travelling.

Nkechi said that despite her efforts to make quality films, audiences often ignore movies that are not heavily promoted, making it difficult for her to recoup her investments.

She wrote: “I no do again abeg…I have spent over 80 million naira producing movies since September and I haven’t gotten 1m back…I no do again abeg🙏

“make I go back to flying round d world…As una no gree watch film if the Movie is not over hyped,I don try🙏

Fans and fellow actors reacted to her message online.

Actress Tonto Dikeh encouraged her not to give up, offering support to promote her work widely.

She wrote: “Give up? Who is permitting that sin? Not on my watch. What do we do? Post? Send it to your friends.

“We will share it everywhere. You are a helper and we will do the same for you effortlessly. We don’t accept defeat here. We don’t even condone it.”

Nkechi Blessing Sunday, the Nollywood actress, has voiced her annoyance at online strangers who keep pressuring her to get married.

The actress shared her experience during an interview on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where she opened up about her past, family background, and why she refuses to succumb to marriage pressure from the public.

Speaking about her upbringing, she said, “I have never dated anyone who has been violent toward me. I can say for a fact that my father used to hit my mum, but that didn’t make me feel like any man should hit me.”

She went on to recount a difficult relationship from younger years.

“Even though one of my exes when I was growing up used to beat me—his name is Valentine. My mum would lock him up at the police station. And when she did, I would go there and tell the police, ‘It’s because my mother wants me to leave him for another man, that’s why she locked him up,’ even though it wasn’t true.”

According to her, her mother always took a firm stance.

“The police would call my mum, and she would tell them, ‘Lock am join there.’ Before you know it, play-play, they would lock me too.”

She added that her mother was a strong-willed woman who believed no one should force marriage on her.

“Do you know who my mother was? I would stay in the cell for two days, and on the third day, she would come herself and ask them to release us. She would say, ‘Leave man.’ Before she died, she never pressured me to get married.”

Nkechi stressed that marriage pressure has never come from her family but from outsiders who have no connection to her.

“I didn’t come from that kind of family. It’s only these online people that are not related to me that will be telling me to go and marry. Like you’re my father or mother.”

Popular Nigerian actress, Nkechi Blessing has confronted critics after some online users attempted to shame her over the phone she used during a recent podcast appearance.

In a new video, the actress—on her way to work, Nkechi said she had to quickly address the “silliest” accusation she has heard this period.

According to her, someone watched the clip where she called her 6-year-old son and suddenly concluded she was using an “old iPhone”… or that she borrowed the latest model for show.

Nkechi laughed off the accusations, saying the same people dragging her would still talk if she used a newer model.

She explained that she owns multiple iPhones — including the 16 and 17 — but doesn’t stress about which one she uses at any moment because they’re all simply tools to her.

She added that the phone she used during the call was just one of her backups, and that she has others of different storage capacities

The actress wondered why of all the things she discussed on the podcast, people chose to focus on the phone in her hand.

She ended by begging for peace this month, saying she doesn’t want anyone stressing her as she enters a new week and a new month.

“Of all things in this life, na phone una carry for head? Abeg, it is well,” she said.

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has disclosed that she tracked down and arrested the woman featured in the viral gym video that sparked widespread online mockery and body-shaming earlier this year.

The actress, who appeared on a now-trending episode of the Honest Brunch Podcast shared on the host platform’s Instagram handle, spoke extensively about the incident and how she traced the woman responsible for secretly filming her during a workout session.

In the clip, Blessing expressed anger over the violation of her privacy, explaining that she had requested information from the gym but was ignored.

“iFitness hid her information from me… I found her. I got her arrested, of course,” she said, adding that she was determined to hold the woman accountable.

“You get BBL, you dey snap me wey get natural body. Are you stupid, sis?” she said on the podcast, dismissing comparisons between surgically enhanced bodies and natural figures.

Blessing also stressed that her choice of clothing and appearance at the gym had nothing to do with public validation.

“This is who I have been. I wear the clothes that make me feel comfortable. I’m not trying to hide from nobody,” she stated, adding that she would not pretend to look perfect while exercising.

Recall the actress became a subject of intense online conversation after a gym photo and video, captured without her consent, circulated widely on social media.

The footage showed her looking tired and without makeup, triggering commentary about her appearance versus her curated Instagram images.

Blessing had earlier responded on Instagram, stressing that she visits the gym for fitness purposes, not aesthetics.

She wrote that her focus was to “stay fit and healthy, not for a fashion show,” adding that appearing exhausted after a workout was normal.

She also noted that she could have pursued legal action earlier against the person who posted the gym footage but initially chose to leave the matter “in the hands of God.”

The actress has since leaned into body positivity, launching an online challenge encouraging women with big stomachs to embrace their natural bodies.
