The late Nollywood actress, Ada Ameh wasn’t only a senior colleague to Chinedu Ikedieze, but his nonbiological mother.
The movie star in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, revealed that Ada Ameh was like a mother to him.
Before her death, Ada Ameh played the role of his mother (Emuakpo Johnson) in the award-winning family comedy series, The Johnsons.
According to Chinedu, Ada Ameh was a mother to him both off-screen and on-screen and he was left devastated by her death.
He disclosed that he met with her outside production severally and people always mistook her for his biological mother.
“Ada was like a mother to me, you know!
She took that character off the screen. As in, even outside production. I have met her severally outside, you know, that people will say ‘see your Pikin’. You know that kind of a thing. So it was like losing a part of me. It was really. In fact, that was the least story or information or news I opted to hear.
That’s the biggest shock of our lives. That’s all of us. The Johnsons. It broke us… Forever”.
