"An MRI scan revealed that I had 3 tumors in my brain.. I almost committed suicide one day" - Julius Agwu
In an interview with Inspaya, Comedian Julius Agwu and his wife, Ibiere, have recounted what they faced during his terrifying ordeal with brain tumours. Revealing what went down, Ibiere Agwu said:
"The
first seizure, I was actually in the room when it started. I was
talking to him and all of a sudden, he's looking up and .. I called the
doctor on our way to the hospital and he was like, Yes, he's there. On
the way to the hospital, the seizure came again and I started praying.
We got to a point where
everything just stopped.
everything just stopped.
'So
now I'm going to be a widow? How do I manage with this children? So
I'll come back home and people would call me and ask me, what would I
say? That what? He's dead? We would start planning for burial?'
"All
those thoughts just kept coming. I was praying, at a point the doctor
too started praying with me. After a while, for someone that couldn't
just move, couldn't feel anything, nothing was happening...he just moved
his hand. The doctor and I looked at each other. He had no recollection
of who came to see him the day..like two days after. When I come most
times, he looks at me and (moves head around) he's trying to figure out
who I am.
On his 3 brain tumours, Ibiere said:
"The
one at the back, they said was the size of a golf ball, and they were 2
in front, those ones were kind of inside. The whole process actually
brought me to a point where sometimes I sit and I question God and I'm
like, I'm still yoiung. Why do I have to go through all of this at my
age?"
Speaking about the terrifying life and death situation he found himself in, Julius said:
"I'm
a living testimony of God's miracles. My business is show business. I
need to show for the business to come. What I remember was the fact that
I woke up in the hospital, and then I heard the story of my being in
coma. I lost my memory. I remember my Father who died in 2002 telling me
to go back."
Adding that he told his wife they had to leave Nigeria to find out what exactly was going on:
"We
can't continue this, let's go to America and find out what the cause of
this thing is. An MRI scan now revealed that I had 3 tumors in my
brain. I started looking for my property documents and giving my wife.
One day, they were not home and I almost committed suicide. I call it
second chance. That's God saying this is your own second chance. After
that experience, I decided to a thanksgiving song to God and it's titled
second chance,. My covenant is that I would use all my platforms to
glorify him."
Julius elder sister, Theresa Agwu
also said: " I had this belief that as a good man, with the good heart
that he has, that he's not going to die. God won't let him die. Doctor
already told me that they want to take him to the mortuary."
