Nigerian actress Chizzy Alichi has taken to social media to share the emotional journey of welcoming her son, Kenechukwu, who was born prematurely at 30 weeks. In a heartfelt post, she expressed deep gratitude to God for the safe arrival of her son, revealing the intense challenges she faced during her pregnancy and the difficult weeks that followed.
Alichi shared that her son spent 25 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), a time that she described as the most difficult of her life. She opened up about the medical condition that was detected during her pregnancy, leading to weekly scans, bed rest at home, and frequent hospital visits. Despite the emotional strain, the actress found solace in her faith, praying fervently and seeking spiritual support from various church services, both online and offline.
In her post, she humorously recounted how she even increased her tithes, believing that perhaps God was angry with her for not paying enough. Alichi also turned to charity, helping orphanages and those in need, as a form of emotional and spiritual support. Throughout the challenging time, she kept a special connection with her late father, praying with his portrait and seeking guidance from him, believing he would return to her in spirit.
“I cried, I prayed, and I did everything that came to my head. Chapel became my second home, and my faith was my anchor,” Alichi wrote. She concluded with a powerful statement, affirming her belief in God’s faithfulness: “God is too faithful to fail, and those that put their trust in him can NEVER be put to shame.”
Alichi’s post ended on a joyous note, announcing that her son, Kenechukwu, is now home and in perfect health. Fans and followers have flooded the actress’s post with congratulatory messages, expressing their joy at the arrival of her son and praising her strength through such a trying time.
