“l like to talk to people and share my stories but I don’t like to see myself in movies. I hate to hear my voice that’s why I’m not even wearing the headphone. I feel I sound funny”, she stated on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, monitored by Adomonline.com.

For critique purposes, Chioma explained that, “I watch them not to entertain myself but I hate criticizing myself. I’m never enough. I just feel that way so I go back and still work and then I actually hear from people what they think about each movie I make and then if I have the courage, I watch”, 

Chioma Akpotha who is currently in Ghana for the iYes conference mentioned her husband as her greatest critique in her movie career.
