Filmmaker Chinney Love Mourns Late Mother with Heartfelt Tribute After Burial
Chinney Love mourned the loss of her mother in a moving tribute shared after the burial. The award-winning filmmaker posted a video of the service in the East and recalled the life-changing call she received on March 2, 2026, before laying her mother to rest on May 22. She described her late mother as her strength, pillar and prayer warrior. “I would trade anything to have my mother come back, but I guess the will of God will have to prevail,” she wrote. Chinney also spoke candidly about the challenges of organising a burial under Igbo customs, admitting she felt sick, frustrated and tired at times. She questioned why these traditions can be so demanding for grieving children. Other Nigerian stars—including Faithia Williams, Timini Egbuson and Liquorose—have also shared emotional tributes to parents they lost this year, highlighting how public figures cope with personal loss.
