Uche Elendu, a Nollywood actress, has revealed that she almost lost her life 12 years ago during the birth of Chizuterem, her first daughter.
The 34-year-old film star brought this revelation to light on Wednesday on the occasion of Chizuterem’s 12th birthday.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, she narrated the ordeal she faced while giving birth to her.
Elendu said she was torn between life and death. She added that if not for God that saved and “brought me back after 5 hours” she would have died.
“Happy Birthday to the Love of my Life, my big baby, my first fruit, my bunch of talents, the destined Star, my pride,” she wrote.
“By this time 12 years ago I was fighting a battle with principalities and powers, fighting with dead people I recognized. The doctors and nurses had lost hope, only the Lord could possibly have saved me and brought me back after 5 hours. Thanks to my doctor that dropped his surgical equipment and picked up his Bible and started praying in the theater. God bless you sir.
“That’s why when I praise God, I do it without caring where I am and who is watching, there’s nothing that can move me, cos I have been in the war front and my warrior, the strongest and mighty man in Battle delivered me. This big baby came out breathless and it took an angel in the body of a nurse to breathe life into her.
“Chizuterem you are a child of Destiny, the greatness and mantle you carry is above me. The Lord will satisfy you with long life, prosperity, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, favour and salvation and the grace to carry your mantle of Greatness.
“Go forth my child, you are unshakable. Soar like an eagle, for heaven has blessed you. My 11 11 baby the world will celebrate you and your name will be heard for good all over the world. Happy Birthday my beautiful daughter. I love you. 11 – 11 – 20- 20. Special date with a special blessing”.
Elendu joined the Nigerian movie industry in 2001 and made her acting debut in ‘Fear of the Unknown’.
