Veteran Yoruba Actress, Kudirat Odukanmi
Eluyemi otherwise known as Iyabo Oko has just
revealed that she has been seriously ill with a
strange ailment which has since been diagnosed
to be Stroke since June 2016.
In a recent interview with City People, the
veteran actress narrates her ordeal saying, '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 continued to say, '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'.
