A Nollywood actress, Kemi Afolabi, who is popular on her Yoruba roles, says she has five more years to spend on earth according to doctor’s report.

In an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the actress revealed that she had been diagnosed with lupus a disease that attacks a person’s immune system thereby shutting down tissues and organs.

The actress added that she has spent over N1 million on treatments yet she did not get the desired result and have to live on medications for the rest of her life.

While quoting her doctor, she said, “Make sure you are with your loved ones. At least, you still have up to five years.”

On her Instagram post early January Afolabi took her fans by surprise when she wrote

“I wrote my will and booked a space with ebony vault this year 2021 but God showed me how faithful he is despite my unfaithfulness. Who am I that God is so mindful of my existence? Me, ordinary sand? That was a toss around from a private hospital to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, to Army barracks hospital WAEC and finally LUTH where I spent over three months!

“Finally, I was diagnosed with a condition that has no cure but can be managed by medications and takes me in and out of the hospital at will (SLE). Fluid blocked my lungs, affected my heart from functioning well which was the reason for my breathlessness and that is caused by the condition diagnosed! Surgery was the only option to drain out the fluid fast.”
