Nollywood star Uche Jombo
Versatile actress, movie producer, and scriptwriter Uche Jombo has made her stand known on the issue of rape.
According to the 40-year old Abiriba, Abia State-born ebony-skinned beauty married to her Puerto Rican spouse, Kenny Rodreguez, rape has no other meaning other than rape.
“A woman can be a baby mama, a working girl, a sex worker – whatever label you want to call her. At the end of the day, rape is rape,” said the actress with two degrees – mathematics/statistics from the University of Calabar and computer programming from the Federal University of Technology, Minna.
Making a subtle reference to the ongoing rape saga between COZA pastor BiodunandBusola Dakolo in which the latter brought the issue to the open many years after, the mother of a son named Matthew Chinedu Rodriguez said: “The healing process! She can speak out anytime she chooses, whatever time or year that she feels comfortable to speak. So face the real rape issue. Stop asking rape victims why it took them years to speak.”
