Her birthday was on May 6. As she posted birthday photos, and claimed to be 17 years old!
What? Many fans were confused and asked how old Ify Okeke is. Could the buxom actress be truly 17?
As arguments still rage, the Nollywood actress opened up on why she chose to be 17 years old on her birthday.
She wrote:
“BECAUSE SOME WILL HAVE TO HANG THEMSELVES FOR THIS 17, I WILL GLADLY HELP THEM MAKE IT FASTER…
Firstly I remain forever grateful & Thankful to God almighty for my real age, I am proud of MY REAL AGE & glad to be alive but today. I choose to celebrate 17 just like last year it was 18 only because I noticed that ladies in general never want to be more than the BIG 30 especially We the SINGLE ONES,all of us have refused to be more than 31. Alot of girls I know celebrated 25 & 27 more than 5times before they finally turned 30. And the other of the day is the photoshoot with balloons & it’s either 30 or 31 but Truly I don’t blame them, Do you know why?
1. Because most of us haven’t achieved what we what to achieve in life.
2. Because most of us are still single and if suitors find out about our real age they won’t come again cos in this part of this world(Nigeria) it’s all about age & that’s what matters especially when your mother in law got married at 18 seeing her son go for a girl above 30 is like a taboo.(bikonu help us to help you)
3. Because in this our generation Nobody wants to be old.
4. Because when you look your mates who have really achieved so much, you won’t be proud of who you are.
But I want to tell us that whether you celebrate 20,30,31 or 18 like me last year. You are who you are & your REAL AGE IS YOUR REAL AGE for me I’ll be 25 after have gotten married then 30 after I have my kids because that was my dream while I was in SS3.
BUT SINCE SOME DONT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AGAIN OR HAVE SENSE I HUMOR…BIKO HELP ME GET TO 3rd MAINLAND BRIDGE OR EVEN A CLOSED BY CANAL OR BETTER STILL OTAPIPI #ndialaosemainmarket #nkitaekeuke TRUST ME AM NOT EXPLAINING BECAUSE I STILL NO SEND UNA!
