Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu and mother of identical twin(Girls), in a recent interview shared her close to death experience in her fight with leukemia few years ago.
An interview that is conducted on Instagram with Chude Jideonwo, she revealed that few months ago, she had another close shave with death.
Hear her: “After a shoot that fateful day, I went into my room to get water from the fridge and that was it. I fell and blanked out. When I regained consciousness I thought it was just a minor thing until I tried to get up and walk. I kept telling myself Ngozi get up and work, but I couldn’t. There I was looking at my phone, yet couldn’t call for help. I was like this could be the end of the road. I couldn’t really understand what happened. I couldn’t move my leg. It was stiff. I cried and cried. I couldn’t reach anyone to help out. Then I went back to God and said, “If truly I serve you, this would not be the end of the road. Just give me the grace to get up and open the door for help”. I was lying there looking at myself helpless. After a while, the strength came from nowhere, I had to use my buttocks to crawl. Then I held unto the door, managed to open it, then screamed. Help came and I passed out again,” she recalled.
Reacting to the cruel rumours that she had Leukemia, the veteran actress added, “Then I started hearing that I had leukaemia. I was getting calls from everywhere. At a point, I had to ask myself again, ” Ngozi are you sure you are alive”? I know Leukemia is cancer of the blood. I looked at myself and my hair is still intact, every part of me still intact. I just sat down and start crying. Well, that’s part of the prizes we have to pay as celebrity. In fact, the prize you pay to be a celebrity is too high. If I didn’t handle it the way I did then, it would have led me into depression.”
