Popular Nigeria female video director, Kemi
Adetiba, whose creative works on Niyola’s ‘Toh Bad’ music video and
Tiwa Savage’s ‘My Darlin’, is still receiving commendations, almost lost
her life six months ago.
The single lady, who only just fully recovered from a fibroid surgery, chose to share her story to her fans to serve as lesson to them.
She recalled how she almost lost her chances of being a mother during the surgery session.
“I battled with an extreme case of fibroids in secret for many years. When I say extreme, I mean EXTREME. From being rushed to the ER where the intense pain wouldn’t even allow me cry, to being dangerously close to death because of anaemia, to the physical changes, the mental and emotional roller coaster it takes not only you, but your loved ones privy to the information.
“Even with all the resources available to me, it was difficult making the right choices. I had one doctor in NY tell me that I would have to take out my entire womb, that my case was that bad. I was like errrrmmm I haven’t had kids yet. I got a nonchalant ‘sorry’ and a Kanye-shrug.”
Continuing, Adetiba revealed the severe pains she went through during the surgery and post-surgery.
“Things I endured Ehn! Thank God I found a doctor who thought that was rubbish and he was a Nigerian, in Nigeria!
“It’s definitely something I would love to speak about, hoping that it helps someone out there. I won’t talk about anything other than my experience. It’s been six months since I had the surgery. Even post-surgery is another whahala, but I’m fully healed now and it’s like I have a new lease on life!
“As you can probably tell from my Instagram, I kept quiet about it initially as it was a very personal experience that forced me into an extremely fragile mental and emotional space. I wasn’t ready for it to be public.
“Now that I am healed (by God’s Grace), I would love to share my story hoping that it would help someone. Maybe a blog, or a video, not sure yet, but I will do it for you guys. Thanks for all the messages and questions. Keep them coming. I’ll try to answer all that I can, and know you are not alone.”
