Speaking about why her family’s surname ‘Omuka’ was changed because of generational curses placed on the name, Chioma Akpotha said:
There’s something called generational curses and there’s something also called generational blessings. So you choose the one you want. Those curses cannot come to me and my children. You have to put your foot down.
I remember, I’m going to take use myself as an example. I remember when my surname used to be Omuka, and something our forefathers did, I think they—I don’t know how true the story is, but they said they killed some slaves and something happened, they buried them alive. And so one of the slaves said for as long as this whatever, people will continue to die in this household.
And so young men were dying, children were dying. Nothing, they would just fall ill, one day, they would die; two days, they would die. Older ones will die, nothing, they would just die. So I saw a pattern and it was based on what I had heard and I don’t know how true the story is like I said, I had to start praying.
And my father himself, I saw that he declared and he’s still declaring till today, he said he would live up to 120. He’s old, he’s in his 90s, and I know that he will get to 120 because I came to this life, I heard him say that, and so he had a reason for saying that.
So me, I’m declaring too that—I don’t want 120, I don’t want the one that I’ll not be seeing well, I’m already wearing glasses—so if I get to 95, 96, glory be to God. At least I’ll see my children’s children and I’ll be a great grandparent.
