    Aniebiet Francis opens up about facing controversies

    Published on

    Nollywood filmmaker and Special Assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor on New Media, Aniebiet Francis, has opened up about how controversies trailed various milestones in her career and personal life.

    In a Facebook post, Aniebiet recalled when people said that her first car, a gift from a former governor, was bought by married men while her restaurant was funded by her 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,” she wrote.

    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 sex. 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.
