Their Mothers Can Never Be As Strong As I Am’ — Rita Edochie Fires Back At Critics

Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has responded sharply to social media users who reportedly speculated that she was suffering from arthritis after she shared a video of herself dancing online.

According to Ireporter Online, some social media users questioned the actress’s health following the video, prompting her to address the comments in a post on Instagram.

Edochie dismissed the speculation and questioned how her critics could associate her active lifestyle and physical movements with a health condition.

The actress highlighted her frequent travels and demanding schedule, noting that she had been spending long hours on her feet while promoting her movie.

She also questioned whether those making the comments could describe their own mothers as being as active, energetic and flexible as she is.

Edochie accused some of her critics of making the claims out of jealousy because she was currently attracting attention online and trending on social media.

She condemned what she described as unnecessary attacks on people’s lives and warned that persistent negative comments could have serious emotional consequences, including pushing some individuals into depression.

Despite the criticism, the veteran actress made it clear that she would continue using social media and sharing moments from her life with her followers.

She urged social media users to be more mindful of the impact their comments could have on others and to avoid spreading unverified claims about people’s health.
