Nollywood actress Adesua Etomi is marking her birthday today, February 22nd, and she’s taking a moment to reflect on the challenges she faced in 2024. In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Adesua shared her story of resilience and faith, revealing that she battled hyperemesis, a severe form of morning sickness, during her pregnancy.
Adesua’s journey was further complicated when her husband, Banky W, was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor, requiring surgery. Despite the odds, Adesua underwent an emergency C-section and faced a difficult healing process.
Through it all, Adesua expressed her gratitude to her medical team in Lagos and Washington, D.C., who helped her through the tough times. She also thanked her husband, Banky W, for his love and support, and everyone who showed her kindness and understanding during her struggles.
Adesua’s post was accompanied by a photo of her and her husband, with a caption that read:
“IT’S MY BIRTHDAYYYYY!!! Long post alert… 2024 really tried to take the wind out of my sail, so I am so grateful to be here celebrating my life and God’s faithfulness.”

You are as ill as you feel & think you are, and yes, you need help), to be admitted to hospital, to find out the love of my life needed another surgery to remove a cancerous tumor while being sick and pregnant, to end up with an emergency c-section because the devil tried it with my life AGAIN, to a harrowing healing process…it was a lot.”
