‘I was born blind’ – Chidinma Ekile

NIGERIAN Singer, and MTN
Project Fame winner, Chidinma
Ekile, AKA Ms Kedike, has revealed
she was born blind.
The star singer in an Interview
with Guardian said according to
her parents, she just could not see
for some months.
Chidinma said she would love to
be seen more as someone who does
a lot for visually-impaired kids and
young people as she can relate with
their situation.
She said, “I was born blind. I
just couldn’t see for some months.
Since I sang about it, I felt the need
to help kids that find themselves in
such situations or even worse. So
every time I travel to these places, I
try to extend a hand of love to these
children.
“For some years now, I think like
two years or thereabout. I’ve been

using my foundation to do quite a
lot of things. I’ve been able to take
it to some places in Africa. The last
time, I think I was in Togo and I was
able to do a few things with the SOS
village, I hope to do more of that.”
