Nollywood actress Annie Idibia stirred reactions from fans after posting a video to mark her 40th birthday. In the video, shared on social media, Idibia appeared relaxed in a casual black hoodie, expressing gratitude for reaching the milestone and reflecting on her life’s blessings.
She said, “As I turn 40 on Wednesday, I still feel like I am 27. It has been a blessing, I must say. Even if I have not achieved what I want, I have two beautiful daughters, married to an amazing man, and have a great career. What else can a 40-year-old lady ask for?”
While Idibia’s message was one of gratitude, fans expressed concern over her appearance and speech. Some speculated she might be struggling with substance use, noting unusual aspects of her demeanor. Comments on the video ranged from worry about her health to outright speculation about drug-related issues.
