LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Nollywood actress Ini Dima-Okojie has given fans another glimpse into her pregnancy journey, opening up about the unusual food craving that became impossible to ignore while expecting her first child.
The actress shared a video on Instagram, where she revealed that her appetite for pepper reached a whole new level during pregnancy, far beyond her normal love for spicy meals.
Ini stated that the spicy craving became so intense that she pitied her unborn child because other people struggled to eat food prepared for her due to the amount of pepper it contained.
“Omg the kind of pepper I ate during this pregnancy haaa. I love pepper on a regular basis, but it became 10 times worse. No one else could eat my food. At some point, I started pitying my baby. What did you guys crave the most when you were pregnant?” she asked her followers.
This is not the first time the actress has spoken about the realities of pregnancy.
Earlier, she recounted an emotional moment when pregnancy cravings left her in tears over food, admitting that she once believed stories of pregnant women crying because of cravings were exaggerated until she experienced it herself.
Ini announced in March that she and her husband, Abasi Eneobong, were expecting their first child.
Sharing a video showcasing her baby bump, the actress expressed excitement about motherhood and reflected on the changes happening to her body.
Since making the announcement, she has continued to document special moments from the journey, including footage from her baby shower and a heartwarming gender reveal confirming that she is expecting a baby boy.

The actress has also been actively promoting her maternity clothing brand, noting that finding outfits that were comfortable, stylish, and still reflected her personality was one of her biggest pregnancy struggles.
Her pregnancy journey has inspired many fans, especially given her long and public battle with fibroids, making the upcoming arrival of her first child a particularly meaningful chapter in her life.
