During the 'celebrity read a book' session at the 2014 UNESCO World Book Festival which held in Port Harcourt recently, First Lady of Rivers Mrs Judith
Amaechi finally addressed long standing rumours that she was once a housemaid. When asked by a student if the story was true, Mr Amaechi said the rumor was laughable and totally untrue
She went on to say that though her mother died when she was 4
years old, she was fortunate to be trained by her educationist aunt who sent
her to highbrow schools"There is nothing wrong being a housemaid. Its a process and a path to success but I want to state emphatically and unequivocally that I was never and had never served as a housemaid to anyone. It is unfair. This falsehood and our children must be insulated from lies and propaganda" she said.
"I had the priviledge of attending highbrow primary school, that is the Port Harcourt Primary School and I made one of the best results. I sat for Common Entrance and then I was admitted into the Federal Government Girls College, Abuloma. These are schools reserved for children of the influential and top echelon in our society. Will any housemaid be admitted into such schools? This is just an attempt to smear my reputation" she said.

To answer your question Dame Judith. Househelps can be sent to highbrow schools by their bosses.it all depends on how humane one can be. No one knows tomorrow. Life is so complex.
Reply not needed! Its not about where you were that matters, its where you are at the moment that's important! Replying to every form of trumpery from blabbermouths is a waste of time ma'am!

Now, madam first lady claims to have attended a school "reserved for children of the influential and top echelon in our society", is she alright? Since when did FGGCs become "high-brow".
I'm sick of these razz women saying anything and every damn thing without thinking.
Ok

Smear your reputation? How does that smear someone's reputation? I'm disappointed.
Port Harcourt primary school and FGGC Abuloma reserved for top echelon? Of which society?? Ok shut up already!!! Nothing wrong with being a house girl yet your little speech is the most discriminatory I've read in a long while.
We dnt care weda u were a house girl or house fly... Tell Ur husband to concentrate and developed rivers state n stop distracting him self wit his political ambition
Wat is dere sef if u were a house maid it will even an inspiration to some less priviledged. But no u will be here stupidly defending d fact dat u weren't wen 200+ girls r still missing. Michelle obama dey lend her support u dis is ur own priority. Ewu ohia

My elder sister's boy friend was actually nursed as a child by this woman, meaning she worked as a maid.this is correct info o! Y she dey lie?wats d biggie

LOL FGCC reserved for top
echelons. Ha ha,
The only FG school worth any merit/ prestige is QC/KC & even that is by academic ability not status silly woman.
Hate the snobbishness of response. Of course a housegirl could study at FGGC. They aren't dumb by virtue of their job you insecure woman. She probably was one that had her education sponsored by her boss. We had one housegirl that we educated from secondary school through to ACCA.

Ignorant Funminista
She's lying. Bush woman. Thank God for bringing you far. Now Amaechi has opened eyes he has dumped you.
But what does it matter if she were a help? It shows that there is a God that still lifts pple up! She held have just ignored the ignorant haters ha!
Does it really matter? It should be a thing of pride that a former house girl "ιƨ" now the first lady of a state. If they don't like, let the haters deal with it. Cδ♍ε̲ to think of it, Abuloma babes no dey carry last. Choii!!!
Sure woman.
Mrs Amaechi, some househelps working for good people went to PHPS at the time you were there. I am trying to remember .... oh yes, you were Odili's wife's house help. Yes, Mary's house help and she helped you. It was while your husband was personal assistant to Odili at Pamo clinic that he saw you and started nyashing you. Please dont lie if you are from PH. PHC is a very small place and you know we know each other too too too well. Ah ah. No be say na now wey PHC don become big place. We talking eighties. ANywho, You were a househelp. You should be proud that you were a househelp and now you are the wife of a man who has siphoned all the remaining money from Rivers State, halved salaries of the lower class civil servants, joined and owns ogboni society, and changed the lives of many bad people so that they are now rich, and reduced Port Harcourt and its environs to a human development disaster. You are worrying about househelp name when your husband's legacy places you in the legion of lucifer. You never start.
what a very ignorant comment that housemaids wont be admitted into federal government colleges.
what a very ignorant comment that housemaids wont attend unity schools. Very shameful.
"there is nothing wrong with being a house girl" but this bitch has the nerve to say that no house girl could ever be admitted to her school?
Please take several seats. you might never have been a house girl but you're a slave to your own pride.
Yeah, port harcourt primary school, hold high the touch. It used to be a good school but the part of high status, my no know oh.
Hahahahahahaha! Housegirl of life! This actually just confirms that u were a housegirl! Hahahahahaha
So, this woman actually said that housemaids cant be admitted into unity schools? A very ignorant statement coming from a so called educated woman.
so, this woman said that housemaids cant be admitted into unity schools? What an ignorant comment coming from a woman claiming to be educated.
I wasn't going to say something but you know, housemaids are very clever, not lazy and they do what you cannot do.
Does it matter if u were a house help?
Interesting so house maids dnt have reputations?SMH for dis clowns in govt
Absolute nincompoop!
Out of point, go and sleep, wake up and check d post again. And sorry we all know she's met them. So ok tnx gerout bye!
Really?
Louis, what's the problem? Are u okay? Bitch ke? Na wa o. U must really b an angry person... pele
So? Today, she is the first lady of Rivers state. You, the free one, what are u? #justwondering
These our first ladies sef..... *runs out of words to qualify them* #BringBackOurGirls
We still love u even if u were once one nd all u haters go nd drink cement for lunch
I tire for the woman. So if the house maid is very intelligent and is being sponsored she can't go to FGGC Abuloma?
Very true! Contradicting herself.
Chief*
This woman is just as proud as her husband are u bigger than people who had been house helps before?
Why are u hiding it?, like u said there is noting wrong in been a house help. I put it 2 u that u were once a house help living with NDUkwu family in owerri 4 more than 6 years and were good 2 u and was y u renoverted their house in d village Amucha in Njaba LGA imo state.. So close ur mouth or will open ur ynash!
Is that how people lie like this, Odili' children attended the same school.Even Ada George, Graham Douglas, Senator Yellow etc. Then that was the school attended by influential people in Rivers state. GET HER RIGHT.
THIS IS NOT FGGC on its ha.
Your head is there!
Lisa London from the way you talked your family cannot be that nice.
Lisa London from your manner your family cannot be that nice. Let the house help blow your trumpet not you.
She is so fucking beautifull and her english makes alot of sense, an ideal first lady....

Fool like u, calling Her a househelp u will die by hunger. Poor you
Thanks jare,u took d words straight out of my mouth.Never the less,don't mind her.She just told d whole world how mean,inhuman,stingy nd self centered she nd her husband is.If an average nigeria can comfortably send their house helps 2 same school as their kids den I wonder y a governor nd his stupid wife who is supposed 2 b a humble mother can't.
Stop deciving urself,it's a known fact dat u were a house help since d whole of phc nd rivers state people can't lie.All dis while u never denied it,how come u're doing so all of a sudden???I expect u 2 b proud of it dat God made something meaningful out of ur humble beginning.2mr d junkie of a husband go cum deny him own paternity mess.Idiots of their type!!!!
You're such an idiot
Ermmm!!!
#Via Smile 4G network
i was her junior at fggc abuloma ...she is telling truth
Which reputation is that if I may ask? The way she is distancing herself from the househelp thing is like it is some sort of sickness!
Madam There's nothing to be ashamed of Say the truth and shame the devil!

What is the difference between udss and Fggc? You talk as if you are smart but we know you are not.
Is she really Igbo? She must be a very timid girl. When Odil's wife was the first lady,igbos enjoyed oooo. This one just dey there dey slack. Anyway.I don't blame her,person wey Amechi dey slap anyhow.
Here comes anoda housegirl.
@Anon:may 8.9:57am....so because she went to FGGC she can't be a househelp.I went to FGC ilorin,there was a senior that was a househelp.she use to have excess provision and she now lives abroad.It depends on the people she stays with.
My thoughts exactly, I wld rathe b a slave bt live like a king or queen than b a freeman n live like a pauper
Haters will never cease to amaze me
Gladys pls corect only words u knw, u jst proved to Libers dt ur a dunce, *chef* is a word pls n 4m ur understanding, wts a "chief" doing @ d Odili's?
Chai u people wnt to finish dis woman. The problem is dt she 4got dat a lair has need 4 memory. She 4got dt people dt knew her then som re still alive. 1st lady indeed.
We have heard! no over flog the issue biko. You have nothing against been a housegirl but you can not allow people to tarnish your image by suggesting that you were one before abi? Park well biko.
What is so wrong with being one that its mere suggestion tarnishes your already tarnished image?
Madam your sense of reasoning is sickening.
P.S Obviously you are yet to hear of househelps that attend posh schools
What reputation? What is wrong with working as a house girl? Your husband the TRAITOR has done enough damage already, a damage that will last you, your family , your children, grand children ETC a life time! Mtcheeeew.
HELLOOOOO!MRSW AMAECHI WAS NEVER A HOUSEHELP TO THE ODILLIS!I GREW UP WITH THEIR KIDS,SHE TRULY WENT TO FGGC AND FOR REAL IN THOSE DAYS,KIDS OF WELL TO DO PEOPLE SCHOOLED THERE AS WELL.SHE HAS NEVER DENIED BEING THEIR HOUSEMAID,NOT HOUSEHELP.THANK AND PLS "BRING BACK OUR GIRLS"
Abeg madam keep quiet! There re serious issues facing the country, u re there talking about been a help, like who gives a shit hole! God will visit u and your ruthless husband for all the wrong he did to rivers state. 1st lady oshi!
This statement was uncalled for. Even if you were living with relatives, there is no big deal!! They sent you to the same school as theoir kids and you helped out at home in the evenings. End of story!!
Which one is this rubbish you are spewing out of your mouth? By force aje butter!! Smear your reputation indeed......
MADAM JUDITH I LIKE UR POISE & D WAY U CARY URSELF BUT HEY MAAM U WERE ONCE ON HOUSE HELP. *STOP LYING********
Unfortunately ur husband Amaechi has turned against d man Odilli dat was his master. *SUCH IS LIFE****
Cant wait 4 dat man 2 leave office. Him go hear am!!!!!
eh hen wat if she served
madam, u shld be thanking God for where u re today and also encourage other housemaids like me that no matter what u can still be what God wants u to be. my eldest sister got married and begged my mum that I come live wt her but she and her husband didn't jst turn me to a maid but a slave which everybody in the neighbourhood knows abt. thanks to my teachers in school who encouraged me because I was so intelligient though I didn't attend the best sec.school but I was fortunate to gain admission in unilag. today am a physiotherapist with masters degree in public health outside Nigeria. yes I was once a maid and I cant stop thanking God for where I am .it is all by His Grace
@Lisa London, for d records QC/KC also had poor ppl. I attended QC n der were a number of poor ppl der 2! Like u rightly sed, those dat attended d sch were based on academic ability, but der were a few dat obviously used connectn 2 get in bcos dey were extremely dull!
Idiot anony! How dare u refer 2me as a dunce? You must b out of ur friggn mind! Well what I tried 2 imply was she was a senior staff(the head chef) whatever there is nd basically not the everyday random housemaid! #Idiot
ITKs falling their hands!lol
Dr ada , I know your amiable parents (odilis) took care of Judith well as a maid, why she dey lie. Gov amechi first saw her at or place....
I know her well. She was never a housegirl. She grew up with an aunt thats all. But i dont even see why this is a deal at all. So househelps are not people??? I beg lets talk of serious matters.
Sharrap!! Now I knw...u among d women dat blive maids r low class n must b treated so..wat is wrong wit being a maid?? U totally sold ur conscience n u r not fit to b called a first lady.
Big deal!!!! our leaders are so vain.
who says a housegirl can't become a governor's wife in future. Nobody would care about whom you were if we had good leadership from you. The important thing is what u are now.
Smear campaign indeed. Did i hear anyone say thief? If anyone did, we may start investigating the 'smear'.
Grow up woman!

Grow up woman!
I am just stunned at the level of reasoning of this Woman!. How can people like this be allowed to run a country like this!. Imagine her utterance. Just imagine this vain, stupid excuse of a woman. I know many poor lady housemaids who have more breeding than this gold digging whore. I wonder if her money will buy her a place in heaven. What crap. What a disgusting ill bred whore!
People should learn to mind their business. All you fools calling her a house help, The point is that, she is a first lady of a state in Nigeria and what are you if i may ask? you are simply nobody calling her names. well to clear your doubt, Mrs Judith Amaechi was never a house help to anyone. she grew up with Her mum's sister in Owerri, The Ndukwu 's family, it was the Aunty that gave her education. she met her husband while in RSUST in Portharcourt, she was still in the university and not Mary Odili's house as some of you claims. and to correct your silly comment that she is being mean and cannot send her house help to an highbrow school, I am a houshelp currently living with her, but do you know the honest truth? I am in the UK today studying my first degree and all thanks goes to her. God used her to change my story. She is not a proud person, I have lived with her for years, I was a maid, but yet treated like a sister. She is God fearing, Humble and jovial. Always learn to ask questions before you Judge. Believe it or not, but all i can say is that, what she has said in her speech was nothing but the whole truth. thank you for sparing some your time to read this and God bless. Boko Haram BringBack Our Girls.!
So what is wrong in being a domestic help? You denigrate honest work and encourage our brothers and sister taking up prostitution and armed robbery.
When setting the record straight backfires. Linda makes a post about the lies some people tell. LIBers expose their truth.
Louis is a saddest I can tell...seek help ASAP
Linda, reading the comments from people here today makes me realize the real extent to which Nigerians lie through their teeth for absolutely no reason. I was a really close friend of Judith's, right up till when she got married and had her kids. I left the country and we have kind of lost touch over the years. Although we are no longer in touch, for how close we once were, I can categorically say and confirm that she was never a house help at any time in her life. For those claiming she was a house help for the Odili's, please let them explain at which point, she left her Aunts house and started working for the Odili's. Was it when she was at University? or perhaps when she was doing her NYSC in Shell (P-H)? As this was about the time she got to know them through her soon to be husband. Have you notice that absolutely NOBODY has posted any comments claiming they who went to primary or secondary school with her and has spoken up to say that she was a house help?
Having been close to her, I cannot get my head around the nasty comments that have been made without any foundation whatsoever. I have been friends with her from PHPS,FGGC Abuloma and through our university years even though we went to different Universities. She has always been a loyal friend that would speak up for her friends if she heard anything bad said about them. She has managed to keep herself grounded and real even in the face of the big change that life as a governors wife has brought. I notice mean comments about her simplicity /dressing and wonder what it would take to win people over, (not that I think that is what she is doing because from what I can see she is still just being her normal self). To Judith I say, continue being yourself and don't let people get you down, as whatever you do, they will always find things to criticise. To you Linda I say, the schools she went to are common knowledge, so it will not be difficult at all for you to find old schoolmates of hers and become the bloggist that put to rest these rumours once and for all.
For the rest of you coming up with mean spiteful comment I say - spare a moment to think about the missing girls and perhaps venting your vile against their abductors, could help make a change to the situation because you all certainly seem to have enough vile in you to have an impact.
Port Harcourt primary school was the best in Port Harcourt in it's day's and only became the 2nd best when the University opened their demonstration primary school. Also FGGC Abuloma was comparable to any other top school in the country in Nigeria right up to the eightie. For those shooting their mouths off, you are either showing your age (you are young and only know about how things were after standards slipped) or you were not in the know (your knowledge of the world outside your hamlet was picked up 2nd hand from your Lagos cousin), so you are speculating on how you think things were (how else would you have someone say "the only FG school worth any merit/ prestige is QC/KC"?).
You are aware that Agbani and Munachi both attended FGGC Abuloma, so that should give you an idea of the sort of girls the school produced.
For those of you criticising her rebuttal, I don't know how any of you would react if people have been spreading lies for a while that you were a househelp.If you really believe you would come up with a better way of setting the record straight, please detail just how you would have worded it. Since you are all sitting on your high horses criticising her response, please tell the perfect way in which she should have responded.
Seriously Linda, you need to ask clarify from some of her former classmates/schoolmates, stop allowing the vile malicious comments and POST A HUGE APOLOGY to her for the comments from some of your followers.
louis mind ur tenses ooo
So house helps aren't human anymore? Funny lady
