Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has shared her heartfelt reaction to the passing of popular plus-sized dancer Chinelo Vivian Muomah, who is set to be laid to rest. Two weeks ago, news broke that the dancer and mother of two had passed away following complications from a surgery at a well-known hospital in VGC, Lagos.
In a detailed post on Instagram, Rita admitted that she initially expected Chinelo to dismiss the reports as false until she saw the funeral pamphlets announcing her death.
“Chaiiii! I was expecting her to debunk the story of her death, tagging it an expensive rumour, not until I saw these pamphlets on her page. My heart sank, my hands went cold, and suddenly the world around me felt heavy. I still can’t believe she’s gone. How do you accept that someone full of life, laughter, and light is no longer here with us?” Rita wrote.
She reflected on how death can take people too soon, leaving behind only memories. “Death has a way of snatching people away too soon, leaving them with only memories to hold on to. Hers will forever remain a treasure – her kindness, strength, and joy.”
Rita also took aim at those who body-shamed Chinelo during her life, pointing out that their actions may have contributed to her tragic passing. “And to those who constantly body shamed her, pointing at her tummy and mocking her imperfections – well done. You planted the insecurities, you pushed her into a corner, and in the end, she went in for a surgery she never returned from. Are you happy now? She’s gone. You can now rest, isn’t it? But remember this: The blood of her silence, the tears of her struggle, and the weight of your words will echo louder than your laughter ever did.”
Rita lamented the toxic nature of social media, where people often turn platforms meant for support into avenues for judgment. “Social media was meant to be a place where people come to vent their sorrows, struggles, and depression in a bid to derive joy and enjoy peace of mind coupled with constant happiness, but no. These netizens have turned it into a weapon—mocking, judging, and adding more pain to already wounded souls. It is bad, very bad.”
She concluded by honoring Chinelo’s spirit, saying, “She was more than her body; she was light, love, and human, and now, all we have left is her memory. Rest well, dear one. Your absence is deeply felt, but your impact will never fade. I pray for God’s comfort upon your great family, giving them fortitude to bear the loss, Amen. Ije Oma Nnem ooo.”
