Stella has been tutoring social media users on the correct spelling of her surname.
Tired of people calling her Damascus, which is the capital city of Syria and the oldest capital in the world, the 43-year-old attempted to set the record straight in a tweet on Sunday.
“My name is Stella Damasus, not Damascus,” she wrote.
What many do not now know, however, is that her family’s original name was Ojukwu.
The mother of two disclosed the reason behind the change of name in an interview with BBC Igbo last year.
Speaking in the Igbo language the actress explained that during the civil war, Nigerian soldiers thought her family was related to the late Odumegwu Ojukwu who led the Biafran Army, which prompted the change of name.
“My surname is Ojukwu but during the Biafran war, Nigerian soldiers thought that we are related to the family of Odumegwu Ojukwu. That is the reason for the change,” she said.
She explained that Nigerian soldiers killed many of her father’s kin in Asaba because they shared the same surname with Ojukwu.
Due to the crisis, her grandfather decided that the family should adopt his first name Damasus (a Greek name) to keep them safe.

Collect every single thing you bought for her and lock them in a wardrobe...and she can go...no explanation not talk..just be present when she comes to get her things. Ensure nothing skips your mind.
courage411: I am 27 years old, never had a girlfriend or sex (the ones that count, I was molested when I was six by two sisters and it lasted for about 4years.), I had been mainly fixated on trying to hustle my way into greatness, I was a bookworm as a student and didn't bother about relationships in school because I wanted this best results possible, which wasn't the case in the end, but wasn't bad at all. As a result I missed opportunities to learn a thing or two about women, I am extremely introverted and to cap it all up, I am in tech working remotely for a foreign company, as such I am indoors 24/ 7. I tried online dating, it's scammers and hookers all over, whenever I go swimming, the girls I mostly see seem like they sell their bodies for money. I don't have friends, I am extremely lonely despite earning some pretty good dough due to exchange rates and cost of living. I don't really know what to do, I just need a good lady, pretty in her own right, that works as hard as I do, with big aspirations. What can I do people? Is there a spot I can visit for more decent ladies? I stay on the island, lekki axis. I am shy too. �
There are many things you need to learn..lest you become used and dumped by women..they see guys like you as a target.
It would have been better if she spent it. Unlees she plans on investing it. If not she just dey allow inflation spoil her money inside kolo. Abi she wan save am to latter spend am ?
Its always beautiful to see a great legacy continued. How many of todays women can carry on with their husbands legacy..not many i must say. It takes a woman with guts and like passion to carry on such heavy mantle.
Mrxawe: Oga stop arguing with me. Even senior reg no dey collect pass 230-270k. Na only consultants dey collect small pass and by that time you for don old.
Do you know how much a dermatologist , orthppaedic surgeon or family medicine physician is paid in the US.Check it out..if dey con open hospital nko . That one na cash cow. But most doctors dont show off cos they are saving for one foreign exam or paying for local exams and there job is somewhat secured until old age. Those other ppl earning millions there jobs can be taken away and they might not get another one in months to years..by that time all their belongings av been sold off at give away price.
Mrxawe: Those guys don't really earn much. Yet you see them carrying shoulder like they've made it in life lol. If you see doctor wey dey collect 200k sef e try.
They go con dey carry shoulder dey drive 2006 Toyota Camry con hang stethoscope for the mirror . . I served in a teaching hospital . I know alot of them.
Foreverdope: A video making rounds online captures the moment some Zoology students at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN, were having a practical class.
They female students were given Snakes to carry by a man believed to be their lecturer, but this left them petrified.
At the beginning of the video, the man could be seen holding a Snake which he tried handing over to a student who was very scared to hold it.
She expressed fear that it may hurt her but the man and another female student encouraged her to do it that it was safe. Interestingly, her classmate stood beside her holding a Snake but she also looked afraid as though she would drop it anytime soon.
In another part of the clip, the man was showing another student how to hold the Snake, after hesitating, she eventually took to her heels.
Zoology was the most difficult course i ever did in the university..dem dey cram die..Diphyllobothrium latum..e remain small person for repeat year 1 becos of am.
Welcum: I don't want all those long protocols and the BTC I want to sell is small and I want it fast. Please, suggest a reliable escrow. A good buyer is also welcome.
Jarv: I have a girl that I have been with for 6 months now. We have been friends for over six years and we usually lost connections during that time because I was dating my ex then.
After I broke up with my ex this year, we became quite close and I asked her out even though I knew that she has a BF who stays in another state. Might I also add that this girl is very beautiful.
When we started the affair, she was always the one calling, visiting and stuffs... She was fully obsessed with me then especially after we had s3x.
I added money to get her a phone at that time(half) and I also helped her out financially and in some other ways based on the fact that we live close to each other.
Things changed when she did her bday (which she held at my place) and she proceeded to NYSC camp thereafter (last month). She hardly ever calls now except she needs financial or some other help. Our chats are very dry and unemotional except when she also needs help. She hardly chats me up first.
I thought things would change when she got back from camp but it's the same. And it hurts more because I have been giving her a lot of money after she got back from camp so I'll see if it would spark back d emotions all to no avail. It has even been nearly 2 months since we last had s3x even after all d money and care I gave her.
Now I have decided to shun her through and through. She has will be leaving for her NYSC posting at Lagos soon and I have sworn that this is the end of the affair. We can just be friends but that's it. She will never see my money or my help again.
It hurts to take this decision because I want things to be normal based on the respect that I have for her as my friend before but the whole situation is killing me. I just wish I took this decision much much earlier.
Lol..give her money to rekindle love..doesnt work that way..
Contentwriter01: Back in school, females in Medicine were the most sought after ladies.
Now that I think about it; who are those capable enough to marry these ladies (apart from their doctor males)?

Guys have the abundance mentality..i can talk to any gal..no matter your profession or who your father is..nothing dey there..just man up and have a life.
ngoziwrites: So, I met this great guy online. After 2 weeks, we met in person and everything was perfect.
It's almost 2 months since we have been together.
He asked me out while we were together and I gladly said yes. (I have met a lot of players�). So while we were together, a discussion popped up and he said he can't discuss anything related to marriage until after 6 months. I pretended not to hear.
I don't know his financial capacity but I know he is doing okay. He controls the family business. They sell trucks, trailers and all. He is also a landlord in one of his father's houses at Festac. We stayed at a hotel. 25k per night. He paid for 2 night and I paid for one night. But during these times, we went to his house.
He said he didn't want me to come to see his place because it's the first time. And he said the house is very hot too.
Our communication is great but he doesn't look like he wants marriage soon. He has said things like marriage is hard work. He has also said in 10 years time, people will hardly be getting married.
Then one night, we were talking and he said I "see my wife as my responsibility" I will take care of her and of cos, I am okay but I will still be very very rich, so I can't bring in any woman to suffer now" .. That's what I am sure I heard but I was scared to ask him to explain further or repeat himself.
He is actually okay, he has two cars but importantly, he has sense and he is very hard-working. But he is very principled and we have actually had several instances where he doesn't pick my calls at night. It happens often but I am starting to trust him, because sometimes I call by 5am and he picks and says he slept off. Sometimes we would be chatting on WhatsApp and after I call him 20 minutes later, he won't respond. He is not married!
So, I currently earn 450k monthly and I have been able to save something meaningful, so I can start a good business before getting married or after. I haven't stated because I don't know which one yet. I started a restaurant business when I was 23 but it failed.
If I ask him and he says 1 year, of course, I can wait. I will be 26 years next year April.
We will seeing for the 2nd time next week. I plan to ask him when he sees himself getting married but I am scared and the way he carries himself makes me reluctant to ask such.
About two weeks ago, I wanted to even surprise him with gifts. I asked for his account number and office/home address. (He picked me up the last time I traveled to see him, so I don't know the address". Well, he didn't give me these details. He said when it's time I will have them.
Two days ago, he said a friend's younger brother is getting married. He laughed and said people just dey marry. He has once asked me "You dey find husband?" jokingly-
I would like to settle before 27. Is it bad that I am thinking this way? If he says he is looking to get married in 2-3 years, i think it's a bit far. 2023 is still fine. But the problem is he doesn't really sound like marriage is on his mind. He will be 32 next year April too.
We vibe a lot. But he says I love you sparingly. Sometimes I say it and he doesn't respond, he will say tomorrow I will tell u or no, I told u yesterday.
But we are really really cool. I like him a lot and he likes me but I think I like him more. He gives me attention, I don't have to ask.
If I was 23, I won't have a problem waiting 3-4 years. But since I am ready mentally, financially, I am looking for someone who wants it within 6 months to 1 year. I can still try to do 2 years if I get someone great.
Quite a number of Nigerian are doing their MSC in the Uk..i know a few who resumed early this year some in Nothingham Trent..for the job oppurtunities afterwards am not so sure..but i guess its possible..a mans gift speaks for him especially in a system that works.
Sonnobax15: A similar thing once happened to my elder bro friend...Na once the guy arrange some of him fellow close nigha men to track her reach her mama house......The luck wey the guy get na be say he dey keep all the tellerd wey he dey use send her money all those while for school......Na once she knee down and begin shed tears,dey beg...But the guy no gree forgive her..
Wetin pain the guy na be say she even send the guy invitation via WhatsApp......Las las,her mum gats raise money to settle the guy...
If I dey kind to you,no think say I be fool....just that,I dey naturally nice..
No body be mugu
Hope he collect interest join..na compound interest i go collect and na based on exchange rate when i drop the money..i no fit give u 50k in 2010 you con dey give me 50k in 2021 omo u go covert am to dollars as at 2010 con make am 50percent interest per annum..if you fit pay no lele...i go send my aza.
Smoothbabykong: Hi guys, I need your honest opinions about my relationship.
My girlfriend and I have been dating for quite a while but I don't know what is happening at the moment.
The problem is this, we both live in the UK. We have made plans to get married and we have plans to start up a business in Nigeria. The truth is that she kept some money with me and I used it to sort some debts out but was planning to give the money back to her when she is ready to leave for Nieria.
What really happened was that there was a certain money given to me by another to help him send down to Nigeria. Out of trust, I told another friend of mine to handle the transaction but unfortunately it all went sideways. So I had to use the money with me to sort the debt out while I recover the other from my other friend.
My girlfriend has been asking me for the money and I lied to her that it's in my account but there has been sort of a problem with it which she believed. The day she was suppose to go to Nigeria, she still asked about it and she told me if I was busy my friend (she knows the guy) can pick up the money for her because she needs to sort some things out enroute to Nigeria. I called my friend and told him to lie to her that the money is with him and I will know what to tell her till I can recover the money from him.
Later that day, she called me and was crying that I betrayed her. She told me everything that happened to her money which means my friend must have told her. She hung up. I tried calling my friend, he has blocked me. Lots of things were through my mind. Dont know what to do. She sent me a few messages and blocked me on both WhatsApp and via calls. When she got to Nigeria that same day, she unblocked me. She told me I have to pay and I said yes I will. I admitted I lied and I tried to explain to her why I lied. Its been a week. I have tried apologizing twice. She read it and ignored me. I told her send me the account she wants the payment. She didn't reply. Fortunately I have her brother's account number and sent her 70 percent of her money and I sent her the receipt too. I only managed to get that amount after selling my car off with a few gadgets and electronics in my house.
I don't know whether to just forget about her or to wait till when she is ready to talk.
She has done outrageous things in past which I have overlooked also. I have even resulted maybe she has another person with in Nigeria and I should just move on.
Thanks for your opinions
Listen and listen Good bros...if you still like your gal do the following 1) explain things to her well 2) tell her it wont repeat itself 3)call her or text her but call first 4 if she ignores you leave it there you have done your part. Let her think about it if she can still forgive you but dont pressurize her too much let her make up her mind if she is still interested but during this phase LOCK UP I REPEAT LOCK UP and as for your friend keep him at arms length thats why i dont keep friends only partners legally spelt out..him fit dey eye your gal like dat..na oppurtunity for am to STAB you in the bag. As for me its would have been better a friend were never born than dem trying such with me.
Kuriosmynd: Years ago after I completed my Nysc, I decided to relocate to the city where my uncle resided so that I could squat with him while searching for job before getting my own apartment. . My uncle was not always around, he has a company in abt two states away (4 hrs drive), and comes home every weekend. So it was usually me and his wife and his single kid at home.
Very troublesome wife who in my opinion had slayed in Lag before he pvssywhipped Bros to marry her. She made my eyes see shege anytime my uncle was not around..lol. While her jobless married friends and the ones with shop around wud always come to our place to watch useless Africa magic and try to seduce me..lol...it was by grace that I dint fvck her married friends...e still pain me say I no fvk Dem..lol . So this bad day came, I was sleeping in my room, then around 1am, I began to hear a loud bitter cry of my name...I woke with a start and try to rush into her room...she was clutching to her boy..the baby had fainted. It was a frantic effort to revive him. I surmised the terrible heat wave at that time of the year must have inflicted the baby into coma. . The next thing I noticed to add to my confusion was that she was actually stark naked. succulently rotund bouncing boobs in her fair skin...slightly bushy forest in her cunt region, she was shedding tears clutching her baby to her bossom, stamping her feet wildly on the ground and abruptly sitting and standing, crying and praying all at thesame time. In all of these my seeing her nudity meant nothing to her, as she stared into my eyes with an expression of "won't you do something"? I felt her pain, and I panicked about reviving the baby. . Then in my confusion I lounged into the kitchen, took spoon, and salt..and water and began to force the spoon into his tightened jaw, together with the salt while she was sprinkling water on him and smearing him with anointing oil. For about five to 10 minutes, we struggled and jostle to rescusitate the life of this 9 months old baby before she sniffed with a faint lowly cry. What a relief and glimmer of hope.
After I left the room, I couldn't stop imagining her flawless body, curves, boobs and that bushy cunt, though not with sexual intent. I had no idea why she had to do all that in unclothedness, maybe it's a superstitious way of a mother trying to bring back a baby. I have no idea till today. .
.
Dont think too much...she wasnt thinking straight..cos of her child.
'Beautiful lady' tells nothing of her own economic status. Might just be a beautiful lady who is also as poor as the young man.
If you were to say, 'beautiful millionaire lady', for instance, then, that would make some sense.
Btw, who ways a poor man doesn't deserve some form of love too?
Lol..very true some beautiful gals are not financially ok...but if you see their skin..it requires good money to maintain..na thos types of ladies small wealth dem go just dey shine.
Jayzel: I've been dating my beautiful damsel for over 6 years now (2015), she has been financially supportive to me when things were so rough for me untill now things are a bit balance, since when our relationship kickoff we have never fought for once, we do argue most~times and later in the day we settle it inside our bedroom at night, she's so respectful and honest to both me and my family members. Hang out..na but know your boundary..she wan kolobi the guy man based on say the guy dey alryt...women are not smiling these days oo. There's a pretty damsel working in a UBA bank close to my residencial area here in Oniru Lekki, when I do return every~day from my working place I do branch at the bank to save some money in my account, the lady is my favourite cashier so I do give her the money and take my leave, so later in the day she will transfer the money into my account without no delay at all. But yesterday she called me on phone that she wanted us to hang out together (today being sunday) that all bills & expenses on her. I'm seriously confused now.
I still love my current girlfriend and i don't wanna hurt her feeling's, plz help out peers.
This is what happens when yiu spare the rod and spoil the child...these days fear dey catch teacher to beat an erring child and with money on the line...moya look away attitude is very rampant cos the parents can change school in an instant as the funds dey and who wan loose customer..2m laman so bayii per annum..so you see the problem..beat a rich man pikin and be prepared to see the parents the next day saying his/her her child was abused..like wat happened sometimes ago and how much dem dey pay teacher/security/hall warden for those private school a d dem no wan loose their job..most Nigerian actually see a lot of wrong doings at their work place but keep quiet cos work no too dey and the one wey u gey hold am tight. No be me dem go put for trouble mentality too common these days
