Chioma Akpotha has made significant progress to conquer her fear for heights (acrophobia). The popular Nollywood actress shared a video on her Instagram page showing the moment that she yelled in fear while doing the glass slide.
The movie star was in Dubai earlier this year with her besties Uche Jombo, Omoni Oboli and Ufuoma McDermott.
