Nollywood filmmaker and Akwa Ibom State Governor’s aide on New Media, Aniebiet Francis, has opened up about the controversies that have trailed her personal and professional milestones.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, she recounted how her first car, which was a gift from a former governor, sparked rumours that it was funded by married men. She also revealed that when she opened a restaurant, some alleged it was financed by a supposed lesbian partner.
“Dear God, I Am Due for a New Controversy. In my university days, they said I was sleeping with my support system.
“When I got my first car, a gift from my Governor, they said a married man/men bought it for me,”
I bought my Lexus, and suddenly my boss had bought it because I was his “babe.”
I opened a restaurant, they said it was funded by my lesbian partner.
I got appointed, they said I got it through s*x.
I moved to a new spot, they said I used kayanmata.
I’ve come to realize something profound.
Every milestone I hit attracts a controversy and every level I rise to births a new lie.
But you know what? I’ll take progress with controversy over stagnation with pity any day.
So I wake up every morning, look up to the heavens, and say: Dear God, I am due for a new controversy. she wrote.
