    How Stephanie Linus discovered I was pregnant – Actress Georgina Onuoha

    Nollywood US-based actress, Georgina Onuoha, fondly recollected how her colleague, Stephanie Okereke Linus, played a crucial role in helping her realize she was pregnant with her daughter, Mezie.

    The 43-year-old shared this incident with Mezie in a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday, January 16, where she discussed the history of a camcorder her daughter was using.

    Georgina said she met Stephanie during a program attended by her ex-husband in the USA, adding that Stephanie, who was studying at the New York Film Academy at the time, observed Georgina’s eating habits at a restaurant and suggested that she might be pregnant.

    She said she dismissed the idea initially but later discovered Stephanie’s intuition was correct.

    According to her, they, however, went to Stephanie’s house after eating at the restaurant and found out she was indeed pregnant after testing through a pregnancy kit. 

    Narrating the incident to her daughter, the actress said: “That camcorder is older than you, it is 17 years old. Let me tell you the story behind that camcorder. So Chigozie was barely seven months so we went to Hollywood Global, your dad had a programme there with some of the doctors there so I was meeting up with my colleague, Stephanie Okereke Linus.

    “She was studying at the New York Film Academy in Hollywood so we met up after shooting movies in Nigeria, so we were talking, so she saw the way I was eating and she’s like ‘Girl you are just eating anyhow’ and I’m like ‘I don’t know’ and then she said ‘are you sure you are not pregnant?’ And I’m ‘nah’, so we went to her house and we did a test and I was pregnant with you.”

    Georgina added that they went to Universal Studios and she later bought the camcorder which she gifted her daughter as a birthday gift.

    The actress and her ex-husband, Ifeanyi Igwegbe have two daughters together.

    Arrested gay suspects didn’t kill, steal or harm anyone – Georgina Onuoha

    Actress Georgina Onuoha has called for the release of the over 100 gay suspects arrested by the Delta Police command.

    The Police Command on Tuesday confirmed a crack team of its operatives attached to the Ekpan division on Sunday nabbed the suspects during a gay wedding which they tagged, “all white party” at a popular hotel off Refinery Road, Uvwie Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

    Sharing her thoughts on the matter, the US-based movie star implored the police to release the suspected gay men because they have neither committed murder nor stole or even harmed anyone.

    Onuoha argued people would continue to castigate the s3xual orientation of others for as long as they lack the exhaustive knowledge on the topic.

    The actress-turned-medical practitioner also swerved briefly into religion, knocking many for their skewed ‘faith practice’ in the guise of Christianity.

    She then went on to state that her opinion wasn’t an endorsement of suspects’ lifestyle but more about humanity, stressing they be set free.

    She wrote; “Leave these people alone. They did not kill, steal or harm anyone. They are not the cause of Nigeria’s demise and predicaments. Let them live their lives. 

    “You that are busy committing fraud, sleeping around with married men and women, lying etc You are no better than these folks living their lives. 

    “Until many of you work in the medical field and understand the mechanisms behind s3xual orientation, you will continue to live by the preachings of hate many con artist who call themselves pastors have poured into you as preachings.

    “I laugh at the stupidity of some Nigerians who still believe that sin has categories and being “gay” is the worst of.. You are only deceiving yourself. In the eyes of God, sin is sin and many of you indulge in worst sins. 

    “I have a poignant question for you Nigerians, Do you think God will give you trophy if you harm or kill any of these people he created in his image and likeness? You will be hailed for committing murder? And you think God will welcome you with his open arms? 

    “What most of you practice is not Christianity, you are practicing hate and bigotry. If for any reason you think this is a “western culture” being brought to Nigeria, then you are the most ignorant of them all. 

    “Hold your politicians and pastors accountable for the anger and poverty you are facing and leave these people alone to live In Peace. This is not an endorsement of how they live their lives, rather this is about their humanity. Let them be.”
