Nnadi Kingsley, the husband of
late comedienne, Ada Jesus, has said he did not think his wife would die at the
young age of 24, because he was hopeful she would recover from the kidney
disease she was battling with.
In an emotional interview with
Saturday Beats, the 28-year-old father of one narrated his last moments with
his wife.
He said, “I am not feeling okay
at all. My wife was someone I loved so much. It is so heartbreaking and sad
that she has died. I was with her at the hospital when she gave up the ghost. I
was staring at her till she gave up. I never thought she would die at such a
young age.
Even when she gave up in my presence, I still had hopes that she would come back to life. I and Mr Harrison Gwamnishu were present at the hospital and none of us thought she would eventually die. I had so much hope that she would live and the doctors also raised our hopes as a family.
“On her birthday, April 19, she
did not even make any wish. We were just happy that she was a year older. She
also did not say any strange words that might have suggested she knew she would
die soon. She thought she would recover.
A pastor I knew through a friend
came to pray for her at the hospital and when she asked him if she would
recover, he responded in the affirmative. Everyone around tried their best for
her. Money was not the issue. On April 5, our marriage was two years old. On
the day she died, she asked me to bring her food, but after a while, she
started shouting. I asked her what the problem was and she said I should call
the doctors.
After she received the injection,
they said that her breathing was very bad. Her parents and my family members
are still shocked at the sad news.”
Before her death, Ada Jesus had
claimed that Anambra-based prophet, Chukwuemeka Odumeje, connived with actress,
Rita Edochie, to stage fake miracles.
She further alleged that she
helped Edochie get men to sleep with her. Reacting to the issue, the husband of
the late comedienne said, “I had met with Prophet Odumeje and Rita Edochie to
ask for their forgiveness after what my wife said about them went viral.
Odumeje was angry at first, so I
asked her family to take her to the church to further plead for his forgiveness.
Afterwards, people told me that Rita Edochie posted a video saying that she had
forgiven her but I have not watched it till now. The two of them have not
contacted me since she died. But some of her fans had reached out to me.”
He added, “Things have not been
easy or the same since Ada died. I really loved her style of comedy, which made
me so happy. She is survived by two daughters, one is for me and the other is
for another man. My daughter is a year and four months old now while my
stepdaughter is seven years old.”
