Kelechi Udegbe: The Story Of My Spiritual Awakening

Actor Kelechi Udegbe of Nollywood has talked about how his near-death experience affected his relationship with God.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Udegbe disclosed that November 2023 was a transformative month. He remembered an accident in which he nearly died.

“That accident was crazy. I was with Gregory Ojefua, my guy. Greg is my guy. We just finished where we were. I asked him where hin dey go. And he said he was going through the Eko Bridge. I said I was going through Third Mainland. And that was it. And I entered the car and drove off. The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital. I was like looking around and started asking what is going on? I said I was supposed to be on set,” he stated.

While opening up on his recovery, Udegbe revealed that he felt he heard a message from Jesus after receiving a warning from his doctor.

“I couldn’t move my neck because I had a whiplash from the accident, so turning my neck became difficult and painful. I had to go for therapy. When I came in to see the doctor three days later, he looked at me, checked the car again, and said to me, ‘Go and sin no more.’ It felt like Jesus Christ was talking to me. I would say before the accident, I was a Christian. I believe in God, pray, and all that. Since the accident, my conversation with God, my belief in God is a notch higher,” he added.

Nothing brings greater joy than connecting with God.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
