Sultry Nollywood actress, Carolyna Hutchings has slammed critics who accused her of lying about her age while also telling all those who care to listen that she has no reason to falsify her age.
The actress formerly known as Caroline Danjuma celebrated her 35th birthday on Sunday but was met with criticisms from followers claiming that she was older than 35.
Sharing a picture of herself, her mum, and her child on her Instagram page on Monday, she noted that her mother was in her 50s and questioned why people would think she is 46.
She pointed out that she couldn’t have reduced her age for either Nollywood, education or relationships as she can still take roles for old people, already has enough certificates and would get a good man who will love her regardless of age.
“Trilogy. This is my mum who is in her 50’s, so how in God’s name will I be 46 ? Am I reducing my age because I need a job in a company? I am the CEO of mine.
“Reducing my age for Nollywood? An actor can act in both young and old roles. Makeup can be applied. I am reducing my age because of school? I have enough certificates already.
“Reducing my age because of a relationship? A good man will love his woman regardless of her age. Reduce my age for your validation? I don’t give two F’s about you, sugar.
“Not everyone in a class is the same age. In secondary school, I had people 5 years older than me in my class. In university, my assistant class rep was 45 years old. In my master’s, my class rep was 23 and I 34. In my MBA, I had both young and old.

“Just because you acted in a movie with me does NOT mean we are the same age. You are asking for my birth certificate, Have you seen your own mother and father’s birth certificate before?
“That it took you time to achieve something in your life does not mean I have to run your race. We have different glory and destiny. That you started school late and failed the entrance exam a couple of times is none of my business. We don’t have the same IQ.
“Stupid people saying they watched me as a kid. I was in the industry for only two years before my marriage. Bomboclat can’t stand my glory.”
“Are you aware Wikipedia can be created and edited by ANYONE? And not everything on Google is a FACT? Even Christ was married on Google. To the clowns talking unintelligently about my age, mind the business that pays you.
“Any age, race, or class can act in a movie. Any one can be a star at any age; no rules to follow. Yes, I am 35 years old and this will be the last time I will address this.
“I don’t need to be an old woman to achieve anything or be an actress. Success and luck come to anyone when it is their time. Focus on making money,” she wrote.
