Multi-award-winning Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi, has described 2024 as an emotionally and physically draining year while marking her birthday in grand style.

Taking to Instagram, the actress revealed her months-long battle with hyperemesis (a severe form of pregnancy sickness), which left her hospitalized. To make matters worse, her husband, Banky W, had to undergo another surgery to remove a cancerous tumor while she was still sick.

Despite these setbacks, Adesua remained grateful, especially after undergoing an emergency C-section to deliver her child. She expressed appreciation to God, her husband, and the medical teams in Lagos, Nigeria, and Washington D.C., who played a critical role in her survival.

IT’S MY BIRTHDAYYYYY!!!Long post alert.

2024 really tried to take the wind out of my sail, so I am so grateful to be here celebrating my life and God’s faithfulness.

From being ill for months with hyperemesis (if you’re going through this, I see you. It’s not in your head.

You are as ill as you feel & think you are, and yes, you need help), to be admitted to hospital, to find out the love of my life needed another surgery to remove a cancerous tumor while being sick and pregnant, to end up with an emergency c-section.

I want to thank all the doctors who looked after me in Lagos, Nigeria, and the team in Washington DC that pretty much saved my life.

I also want to thank God for my incredible husband. Banky, I love you to life.

I also want to thank everyone who gave me grace in 2024, especially those who didn’t know what I was going through. I know I missed a lot.

My village people are incredible. God has used this season to stretch me and show me that I am capable of much more than I ever realized.
