Nigeria actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, popularly known as Omosexy, has expressed heartfelt gratitude to God following a life-threatening health crisis that required emergency surgery.
In a Thanksgiving post shared on Instagram, the veteran actress recounted the ordeal, which began with severe back and chest pain, persistent vomiting, and intense stomach discomfort. Despite undergoing two previous emergency room visits, her symptoms persisted, culminating in a third hospital admission.
Omotola revealed that her health crisis started while she was preparing her films and attending the Academy Voting Members’ screening of Gladiator II. Although excited about the event, her condition worsened during the screening, making it difficult to stay upright.
The actress shared that after being rushed to the hospital for the third time, a series of tests, including CT scans and an MRI, revealed her gallbladder was dangerously swollen. Doctors immediately recommended emergency surgery, describing her condition as critical.
Reflecting on her recovery, which she described as a “fight for her life,” Omotola thanked God for the gift of life and good health. In her post, she urged others to find moments of gratitude, regardless of their circumstances.
"So on this day, whether you’re in the US or not, there’s so much to thank God for,” she wrote. “Not just the gift of life, but the gift of good health, a complete body, or even a sane mind to dream of better days.”
Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of gratitude, even in the face of life’s challenges.
