Chacha Eke Faani, a well-known Nigerian actress, has recently reconciled with her mother, Barrister Mrs. Elizabeth Eke, during the celebration of her birthday.
Recognized for her candidness regarding her battle with bipolar disorder, Chacha Eke posted a heartfelt message on social media, expressing her appreciation and happiness for their restored relationship.
Having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years back, Chacha Eke has been transparent about the significant impact it has had on her life.
She disclosed that her condition led to destructive actions, such as using a fake ID to travel to Ghana on one occasion.
Furthermore, her mental health challenges strained her bond with her mother, as she admitted to being misled by certain pastors into thinking that her mother was her adversary.
She wrote;
“This beautiful woman I’m holding onto in these photos is the warrior that birthed me. I mean, she is MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER
As she marks her birthday today, I’m grateful to God that the chemical reaction that displaced her identity in my memory reoccurred, and she regained her daughter.
I have 3 daughters and I cannot imagine the untold trauma of being forgotten by any of them.
Using my mom as a point of reference, I pray that there be a physical & psychological release on anyone suffering any form of mental & spiritual captivity.
Happy birthday to my Mummy; Barrister Mrs Elizabeth Eke. My first role model, proud grandmother to 9 beautiful children
In the slides are her Bestie of more than 40years, my Daddy, Professor John Eke”
