In other news, Nkechi Blessing, a Nollywood actress, has finally apologized to the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) leaders, three years after her suspension.
She made the apology on her knees at the Celebrities Entertainment Awards in Canada, seeking forgiveness and readmission to the association.
In a recent social media post, Nkechi opened up about her decision to apologize, citing her efforts to change her behavior and reconnect with the industry. She acknowledged that she once demonstrated uncooperative and stubborn attitudes towards others, but has since made a conscious decision to listen and take constructive criticism.
Nkechi’s original suspension was a result of her behavior being deemed rude, uncouth, disrespectful, and abusive towards industry veterans.
