I Would Have Become A Prostitute But I…’ – Popular Actress Hilda Dokubo Confesses

Popular actress, Hilda Dokubo hasn’t been in the public
glare for a while now. Even before she served as a
Special Adviser on Youth Affairs to former Rivers State
Governor, Peter Odili, she had rarely been seen in
movies.
But that does not diminish her status as a widely-loved
Nollywood actress. She has featured in several block-
buster movies over the years that have won her
millions of fans. Of particular fascination is the
emotional way she plays her role. She cries easily on
camera, and she can be said to be a method-actor, as
her portrayal is graphic and distinct.
The role-interpreter was in Lagos recently where she
ministered as a Pastor at the Fresh Oil International
Church. During her sermon, she revealed some part of
her past that may be unknown to many. While
speaking, she said, “I was born with a silver spoon, but
death turned me poverty-stricken after my father died
when I was just nine.
I turned away from God at that point, because I felt
disappointed that despite how much my father loved
and served God, he still died.” She continued, “After my
dad died, my mother completely lost her mind. If she
were living in the US, I’m sure she would have been
diagnosed as a mental case.
You know, in Nigeria, we don’t consider people mad
until they have started eating from dustbins. I rebelled
against God at that point, and I stopped going to
church at the age of nine.
“However, I was a very brilliant girl, and I got admission
into the university at the age of 16. I became rascally
and did what girls like that do. I slept with a man, and I
became pregnant. It wasn’t the Holy-Spirit that
impregnated me. My mom was devastated and
disappointed in me because of that. I was also angry
with her because ‘her God’ killed my father, and we
stopped speaking to each other. One day, a man came
to me and said he needed a barge. I didn’t know what
it was, and he told me it was used to store oil.
I then recalled that I had once seen a barge in the
compound opposite ours. I went to the neighbour and
told him I needed the barge. He asked me what I
needed it for, but I told him not to worry. I told them to
put the barge in front of my mother’s house. At that
point, the man who told me he needed the barge came
back, and dropped sacks of money containing N2m
with my mom because I was in school at that time.
Two weeks later, he returned with N500,000, and I was
dumbfounded. Before then, I had never seen N100,000
together, but there I was as a millionaire at 17, not
knowing what to do with the money.
I would have become a prostitute, but I became
restless and challenged destiny. Your life cannot
change for the better if you don’t challenge destiny.
Even God challenged destiny.”
