Actress Blessing Obasi, wife of movie star Stan Nze, has held a service of songs for her mother Cecilia Ebereonwwu who died on February 4, 2024.
Blessing who announced her mother’s passing in an Instagram post on March 10, shared videos from the ceremony on her Instagram stories on Thursday.
The actress described her mum as a blessing to this generation and a disciplinarian.
She said: “My mum is and was a blessing to this generation. My mum was a disciplinarian. She loved with reckless abandon, no matter what you do to her, anything like everyone has said, if you do anything, my mum will not hold it, instantly, she will tell you, whoever you are, she will tell you.
“I’m just here to celebrate her life, she lived a beautiful life. It is such a privilege for me to be born by her, my mum is very hardworking, my mum brought me up single-handedly and she gave me the best that life could offer.
“My mum sacrificed not getting married again just so she can focus on me, she didn’t want any stepfather issues, no, that is the kind of person she was.”
Stan Nze also penned a tribute to his mother-in-law at the service of songs. The Rattle Snake actor expressed how much the woman’s death has affected him and how she shared stories about his movies after watching him on screen.
Blessing and Stan got married on September 11, 2021, in Lagos despite the age gap between them.
Earlier in 2023, Blessing said that she married Stan, who is younger than her because she believes age is just a number.
The couple welcomed a baby boy last year.
