Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Ifu Ennada has shared a powerful testimony about overcoming a series of near-death experiences, memory loss, and intense spiritual battles. In a lengthy post on Instagram, the former Big Brother Naija star discussed her struggles with severe health issues and spiritual attacks that nearly took her life over the past year and a half.
According to her, the most recent episode occurred on July 23—her birthday—when she suddenly woke up with no memory of who she was. “Without any warning, I suddenly woke up with no memory of who I was. It felt like I was on a strange planet where I had no past, knew no one, and had no purpose,” she wrote.
Ifu explained that even after being shown pictures and videos of her family, she was still unable to remember them. She described the experience as terrifying, feeling as though her entire life before that day had been wiped clean.
Despite the ordeal, Ifu emphasised that she never forgot God during her period of amnesia. “Through the help of the Holy Spirit, I did not forget God. I remembered there was someone called the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and God. Then I remembered my name—Faith—and its meaning in Hebrews 11:1,” she said.
Ifu credited her recovery to divine intervention, noting that her mother—a prayer warrior—and medical help played key roles, but ultimately it was God who restored her. “My testimony is that God intervened, showed me mercy, healed me, and gave me a new understanding of Psalm 118:5. To the glory of His name, I am fully restored,” she added.
She acknowledged that her business suffered during her illness but believes that God is preparing to relaunch it bigger and better than before. Ifu decided to go public with her story after feeling led by the Holy Spirit during the recent Hallelujah Challenge, expressing her desire to publicly thank God for saving her life.
“Please help me glorify God because my enemies wanted to ‘unalive’ me, but He helped me and saved me. I am a woman helped by God!”
