Nollywood actress cum evangelist Eucharia Anunobi in a recent interview with Vanguard, opened up on her new found faith in, and life with Christ The veteran actress, who made her Nollywood debut in the classic 1996 mega hit "Glamour Girls", also narrates how her wealthy father turned his back on her and her sisters because they were girls.
She told Reporters,
Quote
“In my case, I come from a privileged home, I’m ajebo. We lived at no 5 Musa Yaradua Victoria Island. In fact we were the last set at Federal School of Arts and Science. I have As in English, Government, Literature etc, at the end, I wanted to go to University and I’m the first born but my father said he had no interest in training the female gender in his family after secondary school. With all his riches and my brilliant result he refused to sponsor me to University except the boys. He abandoned me on the way and that was how at the age of 16, I started fighting for my destiny. This was what made me begin seeking God at a very early stage,”
she added.
On how she pulled through she said,
Quote
“A good friend, Peter Ononiwu who knew me back then said I have the endowment to become a model and that was how I started modeling. I was on so many fashion shows at the time. I was determined to show my father that I am not a mistake of creation, there’s a reason God made me a girl. On my own I said a girl must be somebody. After all, Christ came through a woman and when he resurrected it was a woman that saw Him first. There is a special grace God gave to women and that’s power of intuition. A woman with Christ is a destiny finder and helper. So, by the grace of God I passed Jamb and got into University of Nigeria Nsukka and for the 4 years on campus, I paid my school fees all by myself. I am Eucharia all by myself. There’s a reason why God allowed my father to turn his back on me and my sisters. If I had it all perhaps, I wouldn’t have discovered who I am and wouldn’t have been as successful as I am today.“
She also advised on that it is never took late to go that to school:
Quote
“I have a first degree in English Language, a Masters in Social Work and I’m a Doctor in waiting. I did my Masters in LASU. We began as 78 students, only 48 passed. Out of the 48, only 2 people had the aggregate to qualify for their PhD. And Eucharia Akuwa Anunobi happens to be among the 2.
The other one was a lady as well. In everything, I make my boast in Jesus Christ. I went back to school just about 6 years ago so it is not too late for anyone whether male or female to go back to school. There’s need to go back to school and get education even if you are 75 years old.“

Eucharia you're a big LIAR ,why must you lie against your father? If I am not from the same place as you I would have believed you, but I am so STOP lying. Your father was rich yes, and he saw you through school but things got rough, remember you denied your mum when she came looking for you in school calling her a maid all because you were living a life higher than your standard. God will punish you you this Umumbiri Ahaizu mbaise girl. My naijapals go and find out for yourselves you will see it's true. She is from Umumbiri Ahaizu mbaise LGA .

@freethinker I know exactly what am saying. Forget about this giving her life to Christ. I know Eucharia Anunobi very well her younger sisters name is Lilian. Yes it might not be my business but she mustn't lie about her Late father. She's just looking for cheap publicity,and I won't allow her to mock his memory simple.

@gogoman and Germodon don't make comments that you know nothing about. It's not my headache because my head is too pretty to take panadol for her, but the truth must be told. Celebrity or not she has to right to lie against her father Dee Felix as we call him back home.
