Nollywood actor, Gideon Okeke, has announced the death of his mother Chikadibia Fidelia Okeke.
The actor announced her passing in an emotional post on Instagram, where he shared details of her burial arrangements and reflected on the deep bond they shared.
Describing the loss as his “biggest fear,” Okeke revealed that his mother passed away on November 16, 2025.
In the lengthy tribute, he spoke about the pain of losing her while also expressing gratitude for the love and care she gave him throughout his life.
“And so that day eventually came — the day my biggest fear stared me right in the face. November 16, 2025.
“Nothing has ever been this hard to deal with. No pain has ever pressed me so deeply,” he wrote.
“But have I known love? Oh yes, your version of it. It has held me and kept me covered all these years. In all, I give glory to God for the peaceful life she lived. My condolences go out to everyone who felt her warmth, love, patience, food, songs, and plenty of laughter.
“We are all the same in God’s eyes, but my mum was extra special to me. I call her Bithyah — the daughter of Yahweh and I take comfort in the fact that her Father called her up to take her place and watch over me.
“This right here was my friend, my rock, my mother. Nne’m o, Nne’m o, ezigbo oyi bu nne. Keep resting, baby. Bithyah, my baby.”
