Husband of comedienne, Ada Jesus, Nnadi Kingsley, has revealed his thoughts during the illness of his late wife.
He said he hoped for Ada Jesus’s recovery and not death.
Kingsley, who is yet to come to terms with the death of his wife, narrated the struggles the comedienne had in the hospital and how they both wished for the best.
He narrated his moment with the late comedienne while speaking with THE PUNCH, also spilling their ordeal at the hospital.
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.”
Kingsley, in his emotional state, revealed his wife didn’t give obvious signs of death, stating that she was hopeful till her last breath.
“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,” he said.
Kingsley also talked about the scandal involving Prophet Odumeje and actress, Rita Edochie. He also confirmed Ada Jesus went to seek forgiveness from these two people but was initially shunned.
He 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.”
The husband, who claimed to have been married to Ada Jesus for two years, further revealed that they were blessed with two daughters.
“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.”
