Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has responded to speculation regarding her health following the release of a video showing her dancing. Critics have suggested she may be suffering from arthritis, a claim Edochie has categorically dismissed.
In a post on her Instagram account, Edochie expressed her disbelief over the assertions, questioning how her abilities to move and maintain an active lifestyle could be associated with such a condition. She stated that she remains strong, energetic, and active.
“Can their mothers ever be as strong, active, energetic, and flexible as I am? Impossible!” Edochie wrote.
The actress noted that she has been actively traveling and promoting her latest film, despite the criticisms. Edochie further accused her detractors of jealousy, suggesting that their comments stem from her recent success and the attention her work has garnered.
“Your empty head could only find arthritis to talk about,” she stated.
