While speaking in a recent interview with City People magazine, veteran Yoruba actress, Kudirat Odukanmi Eluyemi popularly known as Iyabo Oko, revealed that she has been seriously ill with a strange ailment which has since been diagnosed to be Stroke since June 2016.
While narrating her ordeal she said; "I thank God almighty for
sparing my life till this moment. The devil tried his best but God
showed him that He is truly Alfa and Omega. What happened was that, that
very day, after I woke up from my sleep very early in the morning and I
attempted to talk, I just found out that I couldn’t talk any longer and
I was told it was a partial stroke. I was taken to a hospital and I was
treated, the doctors really tried their best. The hospital is called 68
Military Hospital, Yaba, Lagos."
She said further that, "they tried their best but I couldn’t
just talk for months but I still give glory to God that I can now talk
properly. The funny thing is that, I was not paralyzed; my legs and
hands were effective, just that I couldn’t talk. I first spent 2 weeks
at the hospital and when I got home, it started again and I returned to
the hospital. I visited the hospital like 3 times.
"Kemi Afolabi and Sikiratu Sindodo even saw me because she
brought her grandma to the same hospital. Kemi was weeping when she saw
me, she took good care of me and she also gave me money. She also said I
shouldn’t drown myself in excessive thinking because many have suffered
the same ailment and they are nowhere to be found today. After many
trials at the hospital, I could still not talk, I was discharged and my
son came back from abroad, he rushed me to UK and I spent like one
month.
"I was at home but doctors were coming to treat me. He employed
a therapist and after a month, I started talking and my son finally
took me to India where everything was perfected.
I spent 7months in
India receiving treatment at home. I give glory to God almighty that I
am now okay. I do exercises frequently, I go out and I do all things,
the only difference you will notice about me now is that I am not as
agile as I used to be.
"I have lost a lot of weight and I love it like that because I
now keep fit. I was so scared during those trying periods because there
were several bad news coming from the industry. You hear different
stories about Nollywood stars which were adding more to the illness I
was already suffering from. But thank God, Jesus conquered for me."
