Chidinma Ekile Is Originally From Imo State But Was Born In Lagos<\/strong><\/h2>\nChidinma was born and bred in Ketu Kosofe, Lagos State. She is the last born child of seven children who all sing. All the names of her brothers and sisters are not known except for her sister Grace who had a publicized wedding in Tanzania in 2015.<\/p>\n
The singer’s parents are originally from Imo State in the eastern part of Nigeria but settled in Lagos many years before she was born. The Ekile family witnessed the greatest miracle during the time of Chidinma’s birth as the singer came into this world as a blind baby; when her family had almost lost hope, she regained her sight after sixteen days.<\/p>\n
Chidinma’s father, Hillary Ekile, popularly called Pa Ekile, was born in 1950. He was a pious Christian who lived an exemplary life. Her father was a disciplinarian so naturally, he brought up his children in the Christian faith, teaching them the word of God and maintaining a high moral standard in his home. Hillary passed away on 9th December 2014 at age 62. The death of her father left the singer traumatized. Chidinma took time off social media during that period and only made her first statement 19 days after her father’s death. She did so to announce that he would be buried in January 2015.<\/p>\n
The singer’s mother, on the other hand, Martha Ekile, popularly known as Iya Lucky, is still alive. She was born on the 10th of November 1958. She has been her daughter’s greatest supporter and role model. In 2014, Chidinma dedicated the track ‘Martha’ to her mother who watched over her through a very challenging infancy and all through her life. Martha celebrated her 60th birthday on 10th November 2018 and was gifted a home by her loving daughter.<\/p>\n
