Actress Stella Damasus has revealed that her family’s original surname was Ojukwu, but it was altered during the Biafra conflict as a protective measure.
Stella stated to Ebuka Obi-Uchendu that the name change was necessary for her family’s safety, as people at the time assumed everyone with the surname Ojukwu was related to Biafran leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and targeted them.
Stella also revealed that her current surname, Damasus, is her grandfather’s first name, which has Greek origins.
She shared this personal story to shed light on the difficulties and dangers many families faced during the civil war.
