DDM News

Popular Yoruba Nollywood actor Jakuzzy has opened up about a terrifying experience following his recent movie production.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that he narrated the events that unfolded shortly after filming ended.

Jakuzzy explained that he started feeling sick just three days after completing his movie project.

Due to financial strain from self-funding the film, he couldn’t afford to buy conventional medicine.

In desperation, he turned to traditional herbal remedies, hoping for relief from his illness.

While preparing the herbal mixture in his kitchen, Jakuzzy suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed.

During the fall, the hot concoction spilled onto his hand, causing a serious burn.

When he regained consciousness, he attempted to carry on with his daily routine.

However, while trying to take a bath, he felt intense pain and saw his injured hand.

Overwhelmed, he screamed in distress and called out for help.

People nearby quickly came to his aid and applied first aid to the burn.

Despite their efforts, Jakuzzy’s condition worsened overnight.

By the next morning, his entire arm had become alarmingly swollen.

Friends and neighbors began to suggest there might be a spiritual cause behind the rapid swelling.

Some wondered how a minor burn could escalate to such a serious state.

Fearing the worst, Jakuzzy turned to his mother for help and support.

He described her as a pillar during this traumatic time.

“She stood by me and did everything she could to help me recover,” he said.

Although he did not elaborate on the treatment process, he emphasized that the journey to recovery was difficult.

Jakuzzy’s story highlights the hidden challenges Nollywood actors often face behind the scenes.

Many in the industry self-fund their projects, leaving little room for emergencies or healthcare.

The actor’s experience also reveals the health risks involved when proper medical care isn’t accessible.

His courage in sharing this ordeal has drawn widespread attention and empathy from fans.

Supporters have taken to social media to express their concern and send well-wishes.

They praised his honesty and strength in speaking publicly about his struggles.

Jakuzzy’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of health and financial preparedness.

He hopes others will learn from his experience and avoid similar risks.
