Yoruba actress, Kudirat
Odukanwi, popularly called Iyabo Oko, has narrated her experience in
the past one year, saying she was hit by
stroke.
According to her, she lost her voice, weight and mobility power during the period.
She told City People in an
interview that she was scared in the process, especially based on the
harvest of deaths the entertainment industry was witnessing.
Odukanmi 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 the Alfa and Omega. What happened was that,
that day, after I woke up very early in the morning and 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’.
“They tried 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 paralysed; my legs and hands were
effective, just that I couldn’t talk. I first spent two weeks in the
hospital. When I got home, it started again and I returned to the
hospital. I visited the hospital like three times.
“I was discharged and my son came from
abroad and rushed me to the UK where 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 seven months in India.”
