Regina Chukwu flaunts ‘oldest woman in her village’

Nollywood actress Regina Chukwu has melted hearts online after proudly showing off her aged grandmother in a recent social media post.

The Yoruba movie star shared a video of the elderly woman on her Instagram page, revealing that her grandmother is regarded as the oldest woman in her village.

In the post, Regina described her grandmother as energetic, beautiful, and deeply prayerful, expressing pride in her family lineage. She also playfully declared herself “oni ya meta,” a Yoruba phrase implying she is blessed to have three mothers — her biological mother, her mother-in-law, and her grandmother.

“Meet my grandmother, very energetic, my beautiful nne, my prayerful grandma… Call me oni ya meta! I get mama, I get mother-in-law, I still come get grandmother,” she wrote.

The actress, known for often sharing glimpses of her personal life, has in recent times been open about her emotional journey. A few days earlier, she expressed sadness over a viral AI-generated video featuring late Nollywood actors, including Junior Pope, Amaechi Muonagor, Mr Ibu, and Sam Loco Efe.

Regina has also previously opened up about her struggles as a widow, revealing that her last child was just four months old when her husband passed away after battling a serious illness.
