Nigerian actress, Kemi Afolabi, has opened up about her ‘incurable’ ailment, revealing that she was diagnosed with lupus.
She revealed this in an interview with show host, Chude Jideonwo, published on Friday. The 43 year old also revealed that the doctor said she had only five years to live.
According to Afolabi, she had lived just one year after the doctor’s pronouncement, as she tearfully noted that she didn’t know how much she had left.
Afolabi said her doctor had told her, “Make sure you are with your loved ones. At least, you still have up to five years.”. Speaking further about the diagnosis, she stated,“I have lupus. It’s not curable. You just have to take medications for the rest of your life.”
Afolabi added that she paid N1.2m on a treatment yet it did not work as she continually cried in pain.
This is coming after Eelive reported that the actress had prepared for death after being diagnosed with a certain incurable disease. At the time, the actress revealed that she wrote her Will and booked a space with a funeral ground after her diagnosis.
Afolabi is famous for her roles in the Yoruba movie industry.
