Burnt apartment: Didi Ekanem Emotionally Down, says she needs time alone

 

Nigerian Actress Didi Ekanem earlier Today disclosed in an interview that she needs  time alone because she might break down anytime due to her house that got burnt last Sunday at Agungi Area of Lagos.
She stated that the fire which started from her landlord’s apartment in the same building burnt all her properties but was able to recover few clothes. While lamenting on the huge amounts of money spent so far on hotel rooms their temporary home after the incident.
 She said, “My properties got burnt but I was able to recover a few of my clothes as the wardrobe was not completely burnt. My sister and I have been staying in a hotel since the incident. Although the bill is much and some friends have offered us space in their homes for some time but at this point, I do not think I want to live with anyone.
I need a place where I can be able to think as I could break down at any time no matter how strong I am. If I would break down, I want to be in my closet (if it happens). Also, I want my sister to be comfortable.
“Contrary to what some people have said on social media, the house is not mine and I have not at any point claimed that it was mine. It is a rented apartment and I feel so sad and empathise with my landlord because it would cost him so much money to renovate the house.
The fire broke out from my landlord’s air conditioner at about 6pm on Sunday night, sand neighbours and passersby called the fire service immediately they discovered the outbreak.
They eventually showed up and helped to put out the fire. Social media is a powerful tool that I will never take for granted because as soon as videos of the incident were out, people started reaching out. Many people are still reaching out to me even at this moment. I don’t know whether the house is insured because it is not mine. I am just a tenant and only my landlord would know that.”
Thanking people who reached out to her, she said, “I have got a lot of support from colleagues, fans and many others, even from the Diaspora. Mercy Johnson, Toyin Abraham, Anita Joseph, Uche Ogbodo, Grace-Charis Bassey (Belinda Effah), Uche Elendu, Padita Agu, Chinyere Wilfred, Ebube Nwagbo, Laura Ikeji, Uriel and a host of others have reached out to me. Even people from the United States of America and other parts of the world, including rapper, Sarkodie, from Ghana reached out to me and I was so surprised.”
