Popular Nollywood actress Chioma Akpotha has been singing praises to God for blessing her with another grandchild.

According to Igbo tradition, it appears when Chioma's mother (Grace Egoyibo Chukwuka) passed away she passed on her torch to her first daughter Ada, Chioma. This inheritance makes Chioma the mother of her siblings.

She took to social media to heap praise on God, for giving her the prettiest granddaughter.

In her own words;
For today I give God all the praise ! I am a grandmother again (as Egoyibo has passed the torch to me). @iam_jimdandy and @fugarson gave me the prettiest niece/granddaughter . Baby, Mummy and Daddy are doing just fine !
#ThankYouJesus

When a mother passes on in Igboland, the first daughter called Ada in Igbo tradition inherits her box of clothes and also her responsibities, including ine omukwo(caring for a daughter that recently put to bed) for her younger siblings.

And Chioma is just doing that in her late mums place.

Go back to ur roots and ask questions.

To chioma, that's her niece, but in the absence of their mother(dead) and chioma being the 1st daughter, it also makes her a granny as she will be the one to do omugwo that's if it was her sister that gave birth.

But she can't call the baby my grandchild (nwanwam)... As the Ada she can babysit and play the whole role of a their mother..
