Nollywood actress Regina Chukwu breaks her silence as she opens up about being criticized for calling herself a Yoruba name.
The beautiful Yoruba actress, was present at Funke Akindele’s A Tribe Called Judah movie premiere and shared a video of herself at the event on her TikTok page, with the caption, ‘Arike Ni Mi’.
However, this caption didn’t sit well with her Igbo fans who took to her comment section to remind her of her ethnicity.
Responding to them, the actress has taken to her Instagram page to note that she has loved once who are Yoruba, and they have accepted her wholeheartedly so it’s only proper for her to have a Yoruba name.
She also added that the name was giving to her by her man and she cherish it so much.
She also noted that while growing up, her landlord gave her a Yoruba name on her naming ceremony.
“So I posted this video on TikTok with that ARIKE NI MI’ caption and some people have been on my neck reminding me that I am Igbo (which I obviously can’t forget) but I have loved ones who are Yorubas and they have accepted me wholeheartedly so it’s proper I have a Yoruba name but in this case, it’s name.
