Nollwood
starlet Sochima Ezeoke who went under radar for a while following the
rumours that singer Duncan Mighty impregnated and dumped her, which made
her to abort the pregnancy has finally opened up about the rumours.
Before now, both Duncan Mighty and Sochima had denied the allegations on
social media, but this is the first time she'll be talking about what
led to the rumours. She also talked about how lesbians in the industry
sponsored damaging stories about her and threatened to her because she
turned down their advances. Find excerpts below:
What was the cause of your rift with Duncan Mighty?
I don’t understand.
There
was a rumour that both of you dated and he impregnated you, but he
later dumped you, which led you to abort his baby. What actually
happened between both of you?
Hmm… thank you for this opportunity. Naturally, I am not the type that responds to rumours just because some haters have something to beef about. The truth is that none of such rumours occurred. Being an actress does not stop you from having friends. But I never dated Duncan Mighty, let alone pregnant for him; and I was never dumped. I am not yet married; I never had a baby and I cannot imagine myself aborting a baby under any circumstance, when several women are dying to have one. So, the evil rumour was the handiwork of jobless rumour mongers. I’m sure they are getting set to cook up more rumours to peddle against me, but I have a message for them: I am yet to unleash my innate abilities on the screen, which will make me to soar to a record height. And I will never back down just because of someone that is making money or gaining evil satisfaction from lies and cheap rumour. Continue...
Just as movie lovers spotted another Genevieve Nnaji in you, you bolted out of the industry. What chased you away?
(Laughter) Nothing chased me away but I went in pursuit of something. I took a break to enable me concentrate on my education and make good grades. But I have since bounced back after I finished my Youth Service programme last November. I have done over eight movies since then, with a couple of soon-to-be-shot scripts on my desk. However, much as I love and admire Genevieve, I cannot be like her; I can only be me, to the glory of God.
I hear that lesbians hardly take their eyes off pretty girls like you. Have they ever ‘toasted’ you in the industry?
I have experienced it severally both in and outside the industry. It got to a point that they threatened to blackmail me or kill me if I refuse to yield. They would call me and say that if I refuse to succumb to their advances, they would sponsor damaging publications against me. I took it as empty threats until they started sponsoring unspeakable publications against me on social media. They even turned it to be that I was the one wooing girls to be my lovers.
Why did they go to the extent of threats and blackmails?
I think it was as a result of an interview that I granted a certain Kenyan journalist in Kenya. After the interview was published, a lot of people who saw it were calling to commend me. But these people were pissed off. They were like, ‘Okay, you think you are the only good girl in Nollywood? There is nothing like good girl in Nollywood. If you don’t join us, we will deal with you’. They were calling me and sending text messages, sometimes anonymous, and my brother kept replying them. In fact, they even threatened to kill me before I celebrated my last birthday in October 2014. And at a time, I had to even dump Facebook. But seeing that all their evil plots failed, they recently started apologising through calls and text messages secretly.
Why didn’t you give in to save your life?
Sochima can’t! I will never do that in my life. I grew up in a Catholic family where we were taught to stay off sin that would prevent us from receiving the Holy Communion every Sunday. I grew up with that consciousness – always working on it and looking forward to receive the Holy Communion on Sunday. Even at the university, I kept on pushing for that. But as a beautiful girl, like you earlier described me, it was not easy. But I kept pushing on, she told Vanguard.
