Popular comedian, Julius Agwu, is hale
and hearty at the moment, but he has yet to forget what he went through
while he was sick and out of circulation.
Agwu, who had a surgery to remove the tumour in his brain, said he saw death beckoning on him that period.
“To me, this is actually like a rebirth.
I saw death and God brought me back to life. It is a rare opportunity
because not too many people survive this and come back normal. Look at
me, I have danced and given thanks to God because it’s truly a miracle. I
am a living testimony that God really works. Some people are of the
opinion that God is partial in some ways, but if He is truly partial in
my case, then I have to give Him all the glory. I thank Him so much and I
really don’t know where to start from in giving Him thanks.
“There was a day I got back home and at
some point, I noticed I was going down, I lost my appetite and I wasn’t
feeling too good. You know how people will tell you different things and
also form opinions. I just told my wife places where I kept vital
documents for her to keep. She simply asked me ‘where are you going to’?
I replied her that I didn’t know what was happening and if in case
anything happened to me, she could go on from there. She wasn’t shocked;
she even replied me that I was not going anywhere.
“The
truth about it is that a lot of people just walk around and do not know
what is inside of them. Some people do not know what others are passing
through,” he said.
The comedian who also doubles as a
singer said that all entertainers do is to work without paying attention
to their health. He seized the opportunity to tell his colleagues to
take a time out sometimes for medical check-ups.
He said, “As entertainers, all we do is
hustle, work, and some other things without bothering to check our
health. I just realised from this experience that we are more of
colleagues and not even friends because nobody really cares about you.
When it happens, it is just you and your family. I knew a lot of people
who reached out to me and I appreciate them but really, it’s funny. What
are we really hustling for? The true joy is your happiness and family
because that is what life is about. Just like all the people who stole
money, how much would they spend? Once you die, that is the end.”
