LAGOS, Nigeria (chatnewstv.com) — Popular Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Nkechi Blessing Sunday has issued a public plea for privacy, claiming she has been inundated with more than 5,000 unsolicited marriage proposals from men across social media.
In a series of posts shared with her followers, the outspoken film star expressed frustration and confusion over the sudden surge of attention, which she says has overwhelmed her direct messages and even spilled over to her private phone number.
“I don’t know which video trended online,” Blessing wrote in a statement addressing the influx. “I am single, yes, but I am not searching. Please stop texting my number.”
The actress, known for her candid personality and significant social media presence, clarified that her current relationship status does not grant the public permission to bypass personal boundaries. She noted that the situation has become “unbearable,” particularly as strangers have begun obtaining her contact details without her consent.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation in Nigeria’s entertainment capital regarding the digital harassment of female celebrities and the perceived entitlement of fans toward the private lives of public figures.
“Fame does not eliminate a person’s right to privacy,” Blessing said, adding that she may be forced to take further measures to protect her peace if the persistent calls and messages do not cease.
While some online commenters met the news with humor, many of Blessing’s peers and fans have rallied to her defense, urging her to change her contact information and calling for more restraint from her admirers.
Blessing, who has frequently been a lightning rod for online discussion, stated she remains focused on her career and personal growth. She ended her appeal by asking the public to allow her to live her life on her own terms.
