Nollywood actress Clarion Chukwurah on Saturday posted unusual pictures of herself on Instagram braless to celebrate her 57th birthday.
The movie veteran used the photos to depict the state of Nigeria, saying that the country’s lost glory needs to be restored.
In one of the photos, Clarion is seen backing the camera braless and in another she uses her arms, facing the camera this time, to cover her breasts.
Her post read, “I AM NIGERIA with My Myriad of Culture And Ethnic Groups.. Sometimes, I look Confused To The Rest of The World In My Diversity, Outdated and Uncivilized with Customs Steeped in Tradition… Still, They Were Attracted To My Many Blessings.
“SMH, I Used To Be Called The Giant Of Africa, The Land of Black Gold, Fighting and Winning Battles For My African Kin, Commanding Respect!
“Now, on Wobbly Legs, I Say, I AM UNBREAKABLE! Cameroon has taken from Me, Ghana has lived in Me, Togo has worked in Me, Lebanon has traded in Me, Niger has overflooded Me, South African Liberty benefitted from Me, My Borders have been left open to Exploiters for as long as I can remember, My Values have sunk into the Pit; But, My Sons and Daughters Have Built The World. And, Though I Suffer Endlessly from Headaches And Stomach Pains inflicted by Poisonous Elements within Myself, I REMAIN STANDING!!!”
Continuing in reference to herself as Nigeria, the actress added that it has dawned on her that she was falling, stripped and begging for respect.
She added, “I Need Mercy to Uphold Me, Hope to Clothe Me, Restoration to bring back My GLORY ; So I Can Still Say That I AM Strong🦾In My Diversity And I Can Again Be Called The Giant Of Africa BECAUSE GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF ME.
“MY NAME IS CLARION CHUKWURAH, TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY….I AM A NIGERIAN AND I SAY I AM UNBREAKABLE. BY GRACE I WILL BE RESTORED.”
Clarion, who is the mother of music video director Clarence Peters, said her post was inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Since 2016, she has been “born again”. Last year, Clarion graduated from Life Theological Seminary formerly known as Life Bible College.
