Nollywood Actress, Maryann Apollo, has revealed the most difficult days of her life and how she became a born again Christian.
According to her, she was blind for six months.
Maryannn made the revelation in her first Instagram live session with her bosom friend, Stella Damascus.
Apollo said, “My journey to Christ was not a good one. I don’t pray for people to go through what I went through to find God. Before I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I had been told everywhere I went that I had to dedicate my life to Him.
“However, something happened. I fell so ill and they took me from one hospital to the other but there was no solution. I started selling properties but the money was still not enough.
“This is actually the first time I am telling this story. My family turned upside down until I was operated on. My stomach was opened and they (doctors) said it was fibroid. But, it turned out not to be fibroid. They did not understand what they brought out from my body.
“One minute, I was dead, and the next minute, I was back to life. I ‘died’ three times and later went blind for six months.
“My son almost took his life because he kept on shouting that I was the only one he had. At that point, I did not even know what was going on.
“If you had seen me then, you wouldn’t have recognised me. I looked like an 80-year-old woman— frail, wrinkled and rumpled. Later on, someone told me to go and see Bishop Okwudili Eze in Abuja.
“When I got to the church, the man was preaching but as soon as I got inside, he said there was a celebrity there that had been ‘finished’ with charms.
“He went on to say that those who did that to me would call me within the 24 hours to apologise. He said two people were involved— one in the industry and another one in my family. He prayed for me and I went back to my hotel room. That night, I woke up around 2am to pee and realised I could see. Bishop Eze then told me I had to give my life to Christ.
“He said I had to leave the ‘world’ and remain celibate till I met my husband. God revived and transformed me. And now, I mentor young girls and pray for them. I have also preached on the streets and shared did evangelism materials.”
The actress also stated that she now sells food ingredients, The Punch Reports.

“Being rich is not the birthright of men alone” – Linda Ikeji to ladies
![Linda Ikeji speaks on definition of success](https://thedailypage.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Linda-Ikeji-speaks-on-definition-of-success.jpg)
Nigerian celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji, has advised ladies, saying being rich is not the birthright of men alone.
On Thursday afternoon, she shared her definition of success as a woman on her Instagram page and shared how she believed women should view themselves.
Linda Ikeji wrote, “Dear young lady, I hear you! If that’s how you see life and want to live life, it’s your choice! To each his own. As for me, I’d rather be as rich as those men who must pay me for being beautiful. Being rich is not the birthright of men alone. I’d rather be their contemporary than waiting for their handouts.
I know many believe it’s a man’s world; maybe it is, but with fearlessness, strength, determination, and grace, women can dominate and thrive in it. So, instead of waiting for men’s charity, I’d rather start early to fight for my dreams, build my business(es), break boundaries, and if God allows, shatter tables.
I want to get to a point in my life where I can get myself anything I want that money can buy without having to beg or sleep with any man to get it. I want to go into a store, see a $60k Cartier watch that I love, and pay for it, instead of wondering which man I’ll call and plotting all the things I will say and do to get him to buy it for me.
I know that my greatest superpower as a woman is being financially independent, as this will give me the choice to live life on my own terms, date or marry whoever my heart wants and walk away when it no longer serves me, instead of being forced to stick with a man I can no longer stand because I can’t stand on my own.
I want when a man comes into my life, no matter how rich he is, for his money to be a bonus and not my only source of livelihood. And as he gives to me, which I will happily collect, I will give to him in return.
I want to dress as sexy as I like and enter any place without a man walking up to me and asking how much it will cost to take me home for the night because he knows who the F I is… a boss babe with her own business as rich as he is.. or maybe even richer! .
Seriously, I’d rather, if God forbid I end up with a deadbeat, be able to give my child(ren) the absolute best life without having to be at the mercy of a scornful & bitter ex.
With all humility, I refuse for the quality of my life to be dependent on the benevolence of men. I want the protection, power, and security that comes with having my own money. But like I said in the beginning, that’s just me! To each his own!.”
