Actor, film producer and one of the most controversial celebrities on Instagram, Nkechi Blessing, has opened up about why she took the Baba Ijesha rape saga personal as she had been a victim of rape in time past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nkechi said she took the issue rather personal, as she recounted her story, saying \u201cWhen I was about 16 or 17, I had this sister who I used to tell that I was a virgin but she would always say that I was lying because I was wild. Though my mum had a beer parlour at that time, she was so strict with her kids that you couldn\u2019t see them messing around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn this day, she invited me out with her boyfriend. I was cool with it but then it started to seem as though she wanted to set me up with her boyfriend to confirm if I was still a virgin or not. They brought drinks and I drank them. She stood up, left, and said she would be back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added that \u201cthe guy stood up and sat beside me. My mind immediately went to the fact that my mother didn\u2019t believe I was a virgin. I was scared to death but I knew I needed to do something. Next thing, I summed up the courage to leave and the guy held me down and said \u2018you\u2019re not going anywhere\u2019. Then, I asked him, \u2018uncle, you wan rape me?\u2019 This statement startled him and then he let me go\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This experience, coupled with the numerous stories of others who she had heard of that were brutally raped, was what triggered her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making reference to the Baba Ijesha case, she said, \u201cI 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\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
