Nollywood actress Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha has announced the death of her father, Leonard Ndukaife Chukwuka, in an emotional tribute shared with her fans and followers.
The actress revealed the sad development on Friday, October 2, 2026, explaining that she had struggled to find the appropriate words to describe the pain of losing her father.
In her tribute, Chioma spoke fondly about the special place her father occupied in her life. She referred to him by several affectionate names, describing him as her “daddy,” “papa’m,” “obara’m” and “comfort.”
The actress also reflected on the death of her mother, Grace Egoyibo Chukwuka, who passed away in May 2013.
With the loss of her father, Chioma said she is now left without both parents, a reality she admitted has been particularly difficult to accept.
She expressed gratitude that her father was able to live a long life and witness important moments in the lives of his children and grandchildren.
Chioma also looked back on the memories she created with her father, especially during the later period of his life. According to the actress, the amount of time spent with a parent never seems sufficient, regardless of how many years they are given together.
She noted that the desire for another conversation, another embrace or simply another day with a loved one remains even after a long life.
The actress explained that she had initially kept the death private as she and her family tried to come to terms with their loss. She subsequently decided to share the news publicly while asking fans, colleagues and well-wishers to remember her, her siblings and the wider Chukwuka family in their prayers.
Chioma did not disclose details about the cause of her father’s death.
She also said the family would provide information about the funeral arrangements when they are ready.
The actress’ announcement has prompted an outpouring of sympathy from fans and colleagues in the Nigerian entertainment industry, with many expected to offer condolences to the family during the difficult period.
Chioma Chukwuka is one of Nollywood’s established actresses and has built a career spanning several years in the Nigerian film industry.
Her latest announcement has therefore drawn considerable attention from admirers who have followed her career and personal journey.
The death of her father comes more than a decade after she lost her mother, making the latest loss particularly significant for the actress and her siblings.
As the family mourns Leonard Ndukaife Chukwuka, Chioma’s message highlights the enduring bond between parents and their children and the difficulty of accepting their absence, regardless of the number of years shared together.
