Adesua Etomi-Wellington
Nollywood actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington has opened up about a life-threatening health scare she experienced in June while in the United Kingdom with her husband, Banky W, and their two sons.
In an emotional Instagram post, the Sugar Rush star revealed she underwent an unexpected surgery that could have cost her life. “I could have lost my life in June,” she wrote. “What I went through was horrific and ended with an unplanned surgery and strangely, the surgery itself was the least dramatic part of it all.”
Adesua said the ordeal occurred while she was in the UK for two speaking engagements. She credited divine intervention for her survival, explaining that “if even one single detail had been different, I wouldn’t be here today. When I think about it, I shudder.”
The actress described the experience as transformative, deepening her faith and renewing her gratitude for life. “There’s nothing anyone can tell me, God is real,” she declared.
She also encouraged her followers to cherish every day and treat others with kindness. “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 added.
