Veteran actress Ngozi Ezeonu
On Sunday, May 23, 2021 veteran actress and former journalist turned 56.
The Anambra State-born award-winning actress who is notable for playing maternal roles in Nollywood movies did not know her birthday bash would turn to "Naira Rain" until the arrival of light-skinned actor, Mike Ezuruonye.
As music kept blasting from the loudspeakers while friends and colleagues were sweating it out on the dance floor, the 39 years old former banker from Uzoakoli, Abia State walked up to the celebrating actress who was seated, brought out bundles of mint N1,000 notes and started spraying the wads on the actress's head, face, body and legs.
The Naira Rain by the father of one, a boy, continued just as the mother of four continued to pick up every note of the Naira, making sure none went astray.
At the end of the day, the Accounting graduate from Nnamdi Azikiwe University said,
“All for our Mama. You are a blessing to us our Icon”.
