Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has shared an emotional testimony after narrowly escaping a potentially fatal fall while preparing for a photoshoot in the United Kingdom.
In an Instagram video posted on her page on Friday, November 13, 2026, the actress recounted how she lost her balance in the bathtub and landed hard outside it. She credited God and her own physical strength for getting up unassisted.
“Hey guys, something happened to me today, and it can only be God. Maybe the next thing you all would’ve heard was that my enemy died. God forbid,” she said in the clip. “I had a photoshoot today, so I was preparing for my shoot. I went to the bathtub and almost slipped. I landed on my bottom and back outside the bathtub. Thank God for strength and stamina; I used one hand to stand up again. But then it would have been the other way round. Just what if.”
In the accompanying caption, she expressed deep gratitude.
“Just help me Thank GOD it could have been worse but GOD said NO…I stand on the authority of the most high and I decree and declare that I Nkechi Blessing Sunday, shall not die, but live to declare the good works of the lord…in Jesus name AMEN.”
The video left her visibly shaken as she reflected on how the outcome could have been far worse had she struck her head or landed differently. Fans and colleagues quickly flooded the post with prayers and relief. Faithia Williams commented “Alhamdulillahi,” while Ruby Ojiakor wrote “Thank you JESUS CHRIST.” Others, including Realwarripikin and Constanceowoyomi, joined in celebrating her safety.
This is not the first time Blessing has spoken publicly about cheating death. In 2024 she described a near-accident on the Third Mainland Bridge and another incident she linked to the sudden loss of her mother years earlier. She has also previously escaped injury when a POP ceiling collapsed in her Lekki home.
