Nollywood Star Adesua Etomi-Wellington Reveals Terrifying Health Scare: How I Almost Lost My Life in June

Nollywood star Adesua Etomi-Wellington has opened up about a frightening, life-threatening health crisis she faced in June, one that required emergency surgery and nearly claimed her life.

In a deeply emotional post shared with fans, the actress recounted the ordeal, which occurred while she was in the United Kingdom with her husband, Banky W, and their two sons for a series of speaking engagements. According to her, the experience was both horrifying and transformative, marking one of the most challenging moments of her life.

She explained that her survival hinged on a series of perfectly timed events, which she described as nothing short of divine intervention. “If even one single detail had been different,” she admitted, “I would not be alive today.”

The Sugar Rush actress expressed immense gratitude for her second chance at life, adding that the experience has deepened her faith and spiritual conviction. “There’s nothing anyone can tell me—God is real,” she affirmed, crediting her recovery to divine grace.

Following the ordeal, Adesua Etomi shared that she has adopted a renewed perspective on life, urging her fans and followers to cherish every moment and treat others with compassion. “Let’s choose to be softer, kinder, gentler, forgiving, patient, loving, and peaceful. I’ll never take another day for granted, neither should you,” she advised.

Her revelation offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the resilience and faith of one of Nollywood’s most beloved stars—a woman who turned a near-death experience into a powerful testimony of hope, faith, and gratitude.
