In the bustling campus of Rongo University, where young minds from across the country gather with dreams and ambitions, a unique story has begun to unfold — one that has captured attention both on and off campus. Dotty, a 17-year-old fresher, recently found herself at the center of unexpected attention due to her striking resemblance to popular Nigerian actress Ebube Nwagbo.
Rumors began to swirl after several photos of Dotty surfaced on social media, prompting comparisons with the Nollywood star. Some even speculated a possible family connection, while others assumed Dotty might be Ebube’s younger sister or cousin. However, the young student, seemingly caught off guard by the assumptions, has stepped forward to clarify the truth.
”I am not related to Ebube,” Dotty stated calmly during an interview with the university media club. “I don’t even know her personally. I’ve only seen a few of her films. But honestly, I’d love to meet her one day — that would be amazing.”
Her words were clear, sincere, and free of any hint of annoyance. For Dotty, this sudden attention is more surprising than flattering. She is focused on her studies and adjusting to campus life — not chasing fame or clinging to celebrity connections. Yet, she admits the comparison has sparked her curiosity and admiration for the actress she’s now being compared to.
This incident also brings to light the power of social media and how quickly images can go viral, linking people from entirely different worlds. It’s a reminder that resemblance does not equal relation, and sometimes, a look-alike is simply that — a coincidence.
As Dotty begins her journey in Rongo University, she remains grounded and focused, but also open to the possibilities life might bring — including, perhaps one day, meeting the actress she’s so often mistaken for.
