Actress Nkechi Blessing has recounted how she narrowly escaped death after slipping in her bathtub on Friday.

In an emotional video shared on her social media page, the light-skinned actress said the incident occurred while she was preparing for a photoshoot.

According to her, she had stepped into the bathtub when she suddenly lost her balance and slipped.

“Hey guys, something happened to me today, and it can only be God. Maybe the next thing una for hear na say my enemy don die. God forbid. I had a photoshoot today, so I was preparing for my shoot. I went to the bathtub and almost slipped,” she said.

Nkechi explained that she landed hard on her buttocks and back outside the bathtub, a fall that could have resulted in a more serious injury.

“I landed on my buttocks and back outside the bathtub. Thank God for strength and stamina; I used one hand to stand up again. But then it would have been the other way round. Just what if,” she added.

She said the experience left her shaken, as she reflected on how differently things could have ended if she had hit her head or landed in a more dangerous position.

Nkechi, who appeared visibly emotional in the video, thanked God for protecting her and for giving her the strength to get up unassisted after the fall.

She also used the opportunity to appreciate life, stressing that the incident reminded her how fragile life can be and how quickly things can change.

Since sharing the video, fans and colleagues have flooded her comment section with messages of thanksgiving and prayers, expressing relief that she escaped unhurt.

Many described the incident as a testimony, urging her to remain grateful and take extra caution.

Nkechi is known for openly sharing personal moments with her fans, including her struggles, victories and near-death experiences, which she often attributes to divine intervention. (The Nation)
