Kelechi Udegbe, the Nollywood actor, has opened up about surviving a near-fatal car accident in Lagos last November.
In a recent interview on WithChude podcast, the actor described the incident as a transformative experience that deepened his faith.
Udegbe detailed how the accident occurred shortly after he parted ways with his friend and colleague Gregory Ojefua.
The film star said that after the two went their separate ways, with him heading toward the Third Mainland Bridge, his memory of the event cut off, and the next thing I remembered was waking up in hospital.
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, he said.
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.
The next thing was seeing a bandage around my neck. I could not turn my neck. I was told to calm down. I did not know what was going on.
Reflecting on the life-altering event, Udegbe stated that it profoundly strengthened his Christian faith.
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.
