Chidi Mokeme has responded to rumors surrounding his alleged involvement in a sex toys business, shedding light on its success during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo. The Nollywood actor confirmed that he initiated the venture a few years ago, asserting its thriving status. In his words, "I did start a sex toy business, and that business is one of the best out there. It’s booming, and that’s how I know. We run it the way we do because people want to keep it hidden. More than ten times, I’ve had products sell out in a single day, and the company runs out of stock just as quickly.”
Chidi further highlighted the universal nature of discussions about sex, emphasizing its prevalence in daily life. He stated, “What’s the topic you like talking about the most? I said sex. When I said sex, everyone exclaimed, sex! I said yes, that’s exactly it. Because it’s the one thing everybody in the world agrees on. There is no ethnic divide. No religious divides, no racism. Everybody understands it. It’s the one thing that everybody sets out to do in the morning, either with an agenda or not. You are thinking about it one way or another.”
In the interview, he also shared his experience coping with partial facial paralysis, diagnosed as Bell’s palsy. Reflecting on the moment he woke up with the condition, he recounted, “This happened as I woke up one morning. Probably, this happened in the middle of the night. Luckily for me, I was away in the US, so I was at home. So I woke up that morning. I tried to reach my phone. The mind wants to pick up the phone, but the body is not responding. It is a very confused state.”
Undeterred by the challenge, Chidi expressed resilience, stating, “I said that is not going to stop me. I am going to get up. That is what I could have told my brother if he came in. Do not let that stop you. You have to keep going. That is just a small distraction.”
