Chacha Eke Reconciles With Her Mum, A Year After Opening Up On Her Mental Health Struggle With Her: ‘I Can’t Imagine The Untold Trauma’
Nollywood actress, Chacha Eke Faani has finally made peace with her mother, Barrister Mrs Elizabeth Eke, a year after she recounted her mental struggle with her.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, the mother of four shared recent photos she took with her mother while wishing her a happy birthday.
In the caption, Chacha described her mother, who she called beautiful, as the warrior who birthed her.
She expressed gratitude to God that the “chemical reaction” that messed with her brain and made her forget her mother has been corrected.
She noted how she has three daughters and can’t imagine the untold trauma of being forgotten by any of them.
Chacha went on to use her mother as a point of reference to pray for those suffering from mental and spiritual captivity.
She wrote:
“This beautiful woman I’m holding onto in these photos is the warrior that birthed me. I mean, she is MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER 😍
As she marks her birthday today, I’m grateful to God that the chemical reaction that displaced her identity in my memory reoccurred, and she regained her daughter.
I have 3 daughters, and I cannot imagine the untold trauma of being forgotten by any of them.
Using my mom as a point of reference, I pray that there be a physical & psychological release on anyone suffering any form of mental & spiritual captivity.
Happy birthday to my Mummy, Barrister Mrs Elizabeth Eke. My first role model

Recall that years ago, the actress publicly fell out with her mother and brother when she experienced a mental breakdown and called her family out online.
In June 2023, Chacha had opened up on how her mental health challenge affected her relationship with her mother.
She reflected on how she had disdain and hatred for her mother as she got older, and because of the wrong information she got from several men of God over her manic episodes, she began to wish her mother death until she discovered that she had dysfunctional thought patterns and beliefs that switches her most favourite to her least favourite.
But all that is behind them now, going by ChaCha’s birthday post.
