In a heartfelt Instagram post shared in the early hours of Friday, Njoku admitted to feeling stuck and overwhelmed, confessing that the emotional weight has even robbed her of sleep.
“I’m at a point in my life where I truly don’t know what to do,” she wrote. “It feels like I’m at a crossroads – stuck and uncertain.”
Known for her confidence and leadership in Nigeria’s film industry, Njoku said the unfamiliar experience of lacking direction has been jarring. “I usually have answers. I’m used to having clarity and direction. But right now, I have none. My mind is overwhelmed. I can’t sleep.”
