Debbie Shokoya, the actress popular in the Yoruba film industry, has recounted how she lost her pregnancy.
Shokoya spoke about her loss while promoting her new movie titled ‘Irin Ayanmo’, via her Instagram page on Thursday.
The actress said the movie is dedicated “to my child that is gone”, adding that her pregnancy journey “did not go as planned”.
Shokoya said despite the pain she suffered from the loss, it did not define her and she is doing great.
“When I was pregnant I just looked at it that I love acting. I was not going to go to locations just to celebrate,” she said.
“I was not really going to put my baby through anything. But this movie was to celebrate myself after giving birth that I have a baby now.
“But God did it, and it is what it is. This movie is dedicated to my child, anyways that is gone. And I like the fact that no situation defines me.
“That did not define me and I have been doing great for myself since then.
“Someone was talking randomly beside me and said ‘this year has more numbers of pregnant women that died with a child in the womb and also women who gave birth and died’.
“I felt that deeply. This is not to mock anyone, but I know of two close people that it also happened to.
“I am here today alive, sharing my testimony. It did not go as I planned but definitely it went as God planned and I am super grateful.
“I know my pains and bruises but I am stronger than them all. God is great.”
