Nigerian comedian and founder of Crack Ya Ribs, Julius Agwu is opening up during a new interview about what he saw after he had a seizure, passed away and was about being taken to the mortuary. Here is what Agwu had to say.
Speaking during an interview with The Punch, Julius Aguw was asked “During an earlier interview, you stated that you ‘died’ and were about to be taken to the mortuary before you came back to live. Tell us more about that experience?” to which he disclosed saying:
JULIUS AGWU: The day I finished shooting the series in my office in Surulere, Lagos, I went home to Lekki, Lagos, and I decided to sleep. Shortly after I slept, I had the seizure. It was so severe that my guard had to rush in and put a spatula between my teeth. They took me to a hospital, and the doctor said I had died and should be taken to the mortuary. They had to call my elder sister, who also lives in Lagos, to tell her. When they did, she told them to leave me, that I was not dead. She started running into houses, asking them to pray for me. She went into a particular house, where there were children and an old woman, and told them to pray for me. Immediately the woman heard my name, they started praying for me. As they were doing that, I moved my finger.
While I was in the hospital, I saw myself in a realm, where I met some of people that were dead. An old employee of mine, Abaga, hugged me, saying, ‘Welcome’. I also saw my late dad. When I woke up, I just told my wife that we should go to America.
While in the US, I went for a magnetic resonance imaging scan, and the doctor said I had a tumour in my brain. After I had a surgery, I returned to Nigeria and went to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and Lagos to do a Thanksgiving. A year later, I went to London, United Kingdom, for my Crack Ya Ribs Show. Two days before the show, I was rushed again to another hospital, and I was in a coma for three months. That was when I realised the issue was serious.
