Actress Chioma Chukwuka has celebrated the birthday of her colleague, Faithia Williams by recounting the kind gesture of the celebrator some years ago.
Celebrating her 53rd birthday via a post on her Instagram page, the thespian narrated her helpful encounter in the UK with the mother of two.
Chioma said she went with movie practitioners to the United Kingdom with a her six-month-old baby for the premiere of a movie and didn’t know how to navigate the whole trip.
However, Faithia Williams cared for her and the baby like they were related by blood, adding that the actress also ensured they were comfortable on the trip.
She wrote: “There is one act of love I got from @faithiawilliams that I will never forget. In the month of October 2007, a group of Nollywood film practitioners travelled to the United Kingdom for the first Nollywood Premiere Ever in Leicester square “Across The Niger”. I had my 6 month old baby with me and had no clue how I would navigate the whole trip especially when it was my first trip ever outside Nigeria and was alone with my child.
“God sent Aunty Fathia ! She was an Angel in disguise (still is) She took care of me like I was her flesh and blood. Cared for me and my child like she would her own. She went everywhere with us, most times carrying my son herself. She knew instantly when he needed to be fed and when it was time for a nappy change and nap time too.
“She would rock him to sleep . Aunty Faithia always came to check on us in the room, mostly to see that I wasn’t baking my son because I always turned the heating so high as it was very cold at that time of the year ( I hate the cold ). She was intentional with her love and care towards us. These are gestures that make life beautiful. They can never be forgotten.”
