Posting a new photo on social media, she wrote, “I am proof God exist. Hbd to me,” a statement that quickly drew attention.

The message comes against the backdrop of her widely known health battle.

Years earlier, she revealed that doctors had given her only a few years to live. She has since continued to push forward with quiet determination.

In a follow-up note, she added, “Forever grateful,” reinforcing her sense of appreciation despite ongoing challenges.

Friends and colleagues joined the celebration. Kunle Afod sent warm wishes, while Bimpe Akintunde offered prayers. Segun Ogungbe wished her more years, and Desola Afod also shared goodwill.

Her birthday reflections echo sentiments she shared in 2024, when she prayed for more time and expressed gratitude to her Maker.

She has also spoken openly about resilience, stating in past posts that critics could not shame or break her spirit.

In 2023, she disclosed a lupus diagnosis and said she had been given limited time to live.

The revelation prompted support from colleagues, many of whom helped her access treatment abroad.

She later recounted her mental health struggles, including anxiety and depression, noting that strong support systems played a key role in her recovery.

Recent updates from the actress have pointed to ongoing physical challenges, alongside her desire to regain full strength.
