Popular Yoruba actress, Tayo Odueke, widely known as Sikiratu Sindodo, has opened up about a frightening health battle that reportedly left her in a coma and with only a 50/50 chance of survival.

The actress shared her experience during an interview with Oyinmomo TV, recalling how what initially appeared to be a common case of malaria or typhoid gradually developed into a serious health crisis.

According to Sindodo, her condition worsened over time, forcing her to move from one hospital to another for treatment.

She said the illness lasted for several months, although she could not remember the exact duration due to the severity of her condition.“I was sick like someone who had malaria. Malaria/typhoid, that was it, and that was how it started gradually. From one hospital to another.

I can’t remember how long it lasted.“I think it lasted for months because I was in a coma and was given a 50/50 chance.

My mum was even told to go home,” she recalled.The actress described the experience as traumatic and emotionally difficult, saying her recovery remains one of the biggest testimonies of her life.

While reflecting on the ordeal, Sindodo became emotional as she expressed gratitude to God for what she described as divine intervention and answered prayers.“God answered a lot of prayers in my life.

God has been faithful because I don’t want to be emotional,” she said.

Although the actress did not reveal the exact medical diagnosis behind the illness, she said the experience changed her perspective on life and strengthened her appreciation for faith and survival.

Sikiratu Sindodo remains one of the familiar faces in the Yoruba movie industry, having featured in several indigenous Nollywood productions over the years.

Her revelation adds to the growing number of Nigerian entertainers who have publicly shared their experiences with serious health challenges and near-death encounters.
