In
what seems to be the Revelation of the year, popular comedian Julius
Agwu has opened up about an experience he had when he was seriously
sick. According to the ace comedian, he died but woke up on his way to
the mortuary.
Julius Agwu in his statement said, while he was
being unconscious he saw his father who had died so many years back,
chasing him back to the land of the living.
He said,
“The truth is that I would not have been alive if not for God. I died
and woke up; I literally died and woke up. I say that authoritatively
because I know that I had an encounter with people that I know had died
during that period. I saw my father who died about 12 years ago; he was
the one that came and chased me back to the world because it was not my
time. I died here in Nigeria but woke up when they were taking me to the
mortuary.
That was the first time I had a seizure in my
house but my wife stood by me. God would keep on blessing my wife; I
believe that God gave me my wife and I always thank him for her. I bless
God that she stayed despite everything that happened to me.
They were taking me to a mortuary but to God be the glory, my hand moved
and that was the point they returned me to the hospital. Here I am
today. The encounter made me realise that there is nothing as good as
rest. It is very important to sleep. I work so hard and I believe that
of all comedians in Nigeria, I am the only one with so many brands, I
have Crack Ya Ribs, Laff for Christ’s Sake and Festival of Love.”
Julius
Agwu reveled that he need to have a second surgery because he didn't
have enough rest after the first one. So at a point he had a relapse:
“What happened was that they did an MRI scan and they detected that I
had two growths. They removed a tumour at the back of my head which was
the size of a golf ball and the other tumour was close to my brain.
They advised me that if they touched the other tumour, it could be
fatal. They gave me drugs to shrink the tumour but I did not rest well
and that is why it came back last year. I did not rest at all, after my
surgery in America, I resumed doing my shows. I thank God for
everything.
“The truth is that I am back and better. I just
want to use this opportunity to tell the people that God is great and
this is a time we should all reflect on our life. I would not lie to
you, things are not easy in the country and many people are running away
from Nigeria. ‘Crack Ya Rib’ was the first Nigerian show that went to
London and after that, everybody started taking their shows there. I
thank God that ‘Crack Ya Rib’ paved the way for other shows,” said
Julius Agwu.
The comedian also said that a lot of people believed
he was being attacked spiritually because he had shown interest in
becoming the governor of Rivers State at that time. In his words:
“We live in a country where people are funny. Remember there was a
time I made it public that I wanted to contest as a governor for my
state, now, people have advised me not to try it again because they
believe that my illness was a spiritual attack.
We live in a
country where people test your power when you announce that you want to
contest for an office. My good friend, Okey Bakassi, told me that the
illness was a spiritual attack and pleaded with me not to try it again.
He said that there was a time he also thought of contesting for a
political office but that something happened to him which he said he
would never forget. I just kept on laughing,”
