A clip from an episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast has been making the rounds online after Nollywood veteran Eucharia Anunobi stopped the conversation to address how she was introduced.
During the discussion, the host mistakenly referred to her as “Ukeriya Anunobi Eku.”
The actress, who recently got into controversy, immediately interjected to correct the pronunciation and the way her credentials were presented.

In a calm but firm tone, Anunobi explained that her proper name is Eucharia Anunobi, and she prefers to be addressed by her full title.
She insisted on “Apostle Dr. Eucharia Anunobi,” making it clear that the academic and spiritual titles were not honorary labels but achievements she worked hard to earn.
While clarifying the issue, the actress explained that her doctorate was obtained through academic study and dedication.
According to her, the qualification came from Kingdom Life Bible College and Seminary International.
Anunobi emphasised that the degree was not given as a ceremonial recognition but the result of deliberate effort.
For her, the moment was not simply about a title but about acknowledging the journey behind it.
She explained that every part of the name she uses today reflects her personal growth, faith, and years of discipline.
The correction briefly paused the conversation, but it also became the highlight of the episode once the clip reached social media.
Long before she transitioned into ministry, Eucharia Anunobi was already a household name in the Nigerian film industry.
Over the years, she appeared in more than 300 Nollywood productions, building a reputation as one of the most recognisable faces on Nigerian screens.
Her acting career brought her fame across Africa, especially during the golden era of Nollywood in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
However, personal challenges later pushed her toward a different path.
Following difficult moments in her private life, the actress embraced evangelism and gradually became known as a preacher.
Today, she balances ministry work with occasional appearances in the media and public discussions.
