Nollywood actress Adesua Etomi has revealed how she nearly lost her life in June after a sudden medical emergency led to an unplanned surgery in the United Kingdom.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Etomi said the experience deepened her faith and left her more grateful for life.
“I could have lost my life in June of this year,” she wrote. “I went through a horrific incident that landed me in unplanned surgery. The surgery was ironically the least dramatic part of what I went through.”
The actress, who was in the UK with her husband, Banky W, and their two sons for two speaking engagements, said the incident could have ended differently if “even one single detail of that day were different.”
“I shudder when I think about it,” she added.
Etomi said the experience reminded her of God’s presence and protection. “Like a map, I can literally look back over that day and trace how His hands were all over that situation. There is nothing anyone can tell me — God is real!”
She also urged her followers to cherish life and treat others with compassion. “Let’s be softer, kinder, gentler, forgiving, patient, loving, and peaceful,” she wrote. “I will never take another day for granted. Neither should you.”
