Actress Nkechi Blessing

Nollywood actress, and film producer, Nkechi Blessing has revealed that she was set up by her sister for her boyfriend to rape her when she was about 17 years.

Nkechi, one of the most controversial celebrities on Instagram, recounted the ugly incident in an interview with Chude Jideonwo while speaking about the case against Baba Ijesha, the Yoruba actor accused of molesting a 14-year-old.

According to her, she felt strongly about the Baba Ijesha rape saga being a victim of attempted rape herself.

Recounting her story, Nkechi said,“I was 16 or 17 and I had this sister I used to tell I was a virgin and she would say I was lying. I used to dance and my mum ran a beer palour. This sister invited me to meet her boyfriend,” Blessing said.

“It was as if she wanted to set me up to confirm if I was still a virgin or not. As a young girl who was knowledgeable about such matters, I sat down. Drinks were served. This sister told me she would be back and went out.

“The boyfriend came close, sat beside me. My mind went to the virginity conversation I had with the sister. I was scared to death. I stood up and he held me, saying I wouldn’t leave. I protested, asked if he wanted to rape me.

“He knew I was going to scream so he let me be. I guessed that (rape) was going to happen. I thought to myself that rapists should be given the death penalty. There’s no need for court. You hear a person raped, just kill them there.

“I feared what would have happened to me if he eventually did it. I’ve seen victims; read loads of messages from people, even adults who were raped. You can imagine the anger and trauma that they have gone through.

“Consider the 14-year-old girl involved in the Baba Ijesha case. No sane person hears that and wouldn’t speak up.”

This experience, coupled with the numerous stories of others whom she had heard of who were brutally raped, was what triggered her.

Making reference to the Baba Ijesha case, she said, “I can only imagine what that 14-year-old girl was going through. No sane human being will hear such a thing and be happy with it unless he/she was also a child molester”.

Later on in the episode, Nkechi spoke rather fondly of her mother, whom she still lives with till date. She told Chude that her mother had single-handedly taken care of them even before she lost her father in 2014.

In her words, “she has been a father and a mother”. She hopes that her mother will live long, so she can take care of her the way she deserves.

Nkechi is a wife and a mother herself; she’s married to a man whom she says lets her be herself. The duo have a two-year-old son.
