What is Sonia Uche’s Age and Where was She Born?

Sonia Uche celebrates her birthday on May 25 every year, but the exact year she was born is not clear. There are, however, suggestions that she may have been born in 1995 and is 29 years old, but there is no certainty about her age. Since she has not given any basic year as regards her birth at the time of this writing, all the media has is speculation.

From our findings based on the popular opinion on the internet, she is the eldest of Uche Nancy’s four daughters. However, her supposed younger sister Ijeoma Nnebe was reportedly born in 1994. Therefore, the actress may have been born earlier than 1995.
