Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has written a note to her Maker as she turns 40 today.
Sharing photos of herself in a red dress, Uche described the last few years as challenging, tough, tearful, defiant, and more. She said she wouldn’t have made it this far without God’s divine strength and appreciated Him for his mercy, grace, and unfailing love.
Uche Ogbodo also appreciated Mother Mary for fulfilling her promise to her as she has seen her intercession, comfort, and covering.
The proud mother of three said, at 40, she stands stronger, wiser, softer, forever, and more grateful than ever before, as everything she has survived has shaped her for this moment.
“Heeeiiii! This is 40! Wow!
I can’t believe it! What a race it has been to get here! God! It’s been tough, it’s been challenging, it’s been joy, it’s been tears, it’s been defiance… all this to get here.
I wouldn’t have made it this far without Your divine strength, Almighty God. Thank You for Your mercy, Your grace, and Your unfailing love through every season of my life.
Thank You, Mother Mary, for fulfilling Your promise to me.
I have seen Your intercession, Your comfort, and Your covering over my life. Thank you, Mama.
At 40, I stand stronger, wiser, softer, fiercer, and more grateful than ever before. Everything I survived shaped me for this moment. Every pain, every lesson, every victory led me here.
Now, Lord, I am ready for this next phase.
Lead me in Your light.
Guide me with Your wisdom.
Protect me with Your mercy.
Strengthen me with Your power.
Direct my steps and never let me go.
This is not just a birthday… this is grace, this is testimony, this is answered prayers.
Chapter 40 begins. Happy birthday, Goddess!”.
Reflecting on her trials, Ogbodo recalled how she walked through fire, danced through pain, carried grace through pain, and still emerged softer than silk and stronger than gold. The delectable screen goodness said this new season isn’t just her birthday, it’s her coronation as a goddess.
While counting down to her birthday, Uche spoke about her fears, admitting that she is still in fear of the unknown, menopause and what ifs – the quiet maybes she doesn’t always say out loud. However, she has chosen joy and gratitude to live and, most importantly, slay like a goddess.
In a previous post, she shared sultry photos of herself, noting how 40 is knocking, and she didn’t come this far to shrink. Ogbodo said fear is there, but so is power, beauty and God.
Weeks ago, she had celebrated her strength as she reflected on her trials. She disclosed that there was a season in her life when the weight of everything almost broke her, and she questioned everything, even her will to keep going. Now, she stands stronger, wiser, and more resilient.
The mother of three recently announced that she was entering a new phase and had broken off baseless friendships. Ogbodo said she was already done with stupīd, baseless, and selfish friendships. She informed the public that if you don’t like her, she doesn’t like them, as she is her aura for the aura phase.
