Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has taken a swipe at people claiming she is suffering from arthritis after a video of her dancing surfaced online.

Edochie questioned how her critics could link her movements and active lifestyle to the condition, saying she remains strong, energetic and active.

In a post on her Instagram page, the actress asked if those spreading the claim could see their mothers being as active as she is.

“Can their mothers ever be as strong, active, energetic, and flexible as I am? Impossible!” she wrote.

Edochie said she had been moving around, travelling and standing for hours while promoting her movie.

She also accused her critics of being jealous because she is currently trending and her name is receiving attention.

“Your empty head could only find arthritis to talk about,” she added.

The actress further criticised people who bully others on social media, saying such attacks can push people into depression.

She said she would not allow her critics to stop her from using social media or sharing updates with her followers.
