Nigerian filmmaker Chinney Love is marking a heartbreaking milestone — the first birthday of her late mother since her passing.
In an emotional tribute on Instagram, Chinney reflected on how surreal it feels not being able to call her mother on her birthday, sharing her struggle to navigate life without her.
She described her mother as a “Woman King, fashionista, and star” who shone wherever she went and was vibrant until her sudden passing.
Chinney wrote, “Americana! Americoco! Today would have been your birthday! First time I never got to call you on your birthday, and it still feels strange… Everyone knows my mum was my everything. I love you, mummy! Always and forever. And no, I am not okay.”
The filmmaker recalled that her mother had never been sick and they had spoken for hours before her death.
She thanked her for her love, guidance, and the legacy she left behind.
Chinney’s post is part of a wave of tributes as Nigerians in the entertainment industry continue to mourn loved ones.
Recently, celebrities including Israel DMW, Timini Egbuson, Dakore Akande, Alibaba, BBNaija’s Liquorose, and Lizzy Gold have shared similar emotional losses, highlighting the fragility of life and the enduring impact of family love.
