Nollywood actress, Chioma Akpotha has shared how her colleague, Faithia Williams, took care of her with her six-month-old son during their first visit to the United Kingdom.
Chioma Akpotha shared this heartwarming memory on her Instagram page while celebrating Faithia Williams’ birthday on Monday night.
The 43-year-old actress expressed gratitude for Faithia’s support during the Across the Niger premiere in the UK in October 2007.
Chioma, a first-time traveler outside Nigeria at the time, highlighted Faithia’s role as an “Angel in disguise,” emphasizing how Faithia cared for her and her child as if they were family.
The actress recounted how Faithia accompanied them throughout the trip, often carrying her infant son and tending to his needs.
Chioma praised Faithia’s intentional love and care, describing these gestures as unforgettable and making life beautiful.
She wrote, “There is one act of love got from @faithiawilliams that I will never forget. In the month of October 2007, a group of Nollywood film practitioners travelled to the United Kingdom for the first Nollywood Premiere Ever in Leicester square “Across The Niger”.
“Had my 6 month old baby with me and had no clue how would navigate the whole trip especially when it was my first trip ever outside Nigeria and was alone with my child.
“God sent Aunty Fathia! She was an Angel in disguise (still is) She took care of me like I was her flesh and blood. Cared for me and my child like she would her own.
“She went everywhere with us most times carrying my son herself. She knew instantly when he needed to be fed and when it was time for a nappy change and nap time too.
“She would rock him to sleep. Aunty Faithia always came to check on us in the room mostly to see that I wasn’t baking my son because I always turned the heating so high as it was very cold at that time of the year (I hate the cold ).
“She was intentional with her love and care towards us. These are gestures that make life beautiful. They can never be forgotten.”
In her birthday tribute to Faithia, Chioma urged everyone to shower massive love on the beautiful woman, emphasizing her kindness and genuine nature.
She added, “Family please help me show massive love to @faithiawilliams as she celebrates her birthday today. She is a beautiful woman in and out.”
Responding to the post, Faithia expressed her love for Chioma saying: “My darling, even if we don’t see, I love you.”
