‘How I Almost Died In 2019’ -Veteran Actress, Ngozi Nwosu Opens Up On Near-Death Experience


Ngozi Nwosu has revealed her close shave with death in 2019.

The veteran actress said during a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

Recall that the 56-year-old had battled kidney disease for years before she eventually got treatment abroad through a state government and some organizations.

During the interview, she disclosed how she battled the illness, her brush with death last year, and her journey to healing.

Ngozi also recounted how after shooting for a film in 2019, she lost consciousness and almost passed out.


Recounting one of the lowest moments of her battle with illness, she said:

“It was a rap for the day. And I was in my room. Just got up to get water from the fridge and that was it. I fell and I blanked out and when I regained consciousness I thought it was just ‘okay it’s just one of those things. So I told myself to get up and walk, but I couldn’t. There, I was looking at my phone. I couldn’t call for help. The generator was on, so nobody heard me. I asked myself, ‘is this the end of the road?’

The conversation went deeper into how she has chosen to live her life – leaning into vulnerability with her shoulders held high even in her darkest moments. “I cried! I said ‘how will I do it who will I call?

“The generator is on nobody heard me. And then I went back to God. ‘I said God, if truly I serve you, this will not be the end of the road. I said just give me the grace for me to get up. I need to open door for help and I was lying looking at myself helpless. Nobody to help me and so after a while, the strength came from nowhere and I was able to now use my bum to crawl. I crawled. Now it’s to stand up, open the door and shout. I couldn’t. I was just looking at myself. And I’m like God this can’t be the end of the road; no it can’t be.

“I tried, I used the other side to stretch, it was painful and I was able to hold on to the door. I was panting for like 15-30 minutes. Just to hold myself so I can open the door. As I opened the door, I screamed. And help came, I passed out again.”
