Broda Shaggi, a Nigerian skit maker, has disclosed a near-fatal incident.
In an Instagram post on his 31st birthday, the comedian expressed gratitude to God for sparing his life.
Shaggi stated that this year’s birthday is important because the “gift of life was almost taken from me recently”.
The sketch creator described his near-death experience as “my greatest gift” without going into detail.
“Birthdays are usually not my thing. Infact I switch off my phone on these days cos I dislike receiving birthday calls and wishes. Only those who are close to me know Shaggi is not Samuel but that ain’t a discussion for today lol,” he wrote.
“But this particular birthday is different cos the gift of life was almost taken from me recently but God showed himself and gave me another chance.
“Infact this photoshoot was done last night lol. Today, I’m happy, I’m grateful, I’m honored cos I know some birthday mates who aren’t here to celebrate theirs. I’m no different from them but God has spared me for a reason I’m sure.
“For those who love me, God has already given me the greatest gift but if you wish to gift me today, all you need to do is listen to this Birthday song I made for myself. It’s available on every music platforms and you can also click the link in my bio.”
Shaggi earned a creative arts degree from the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
He became famous for his short comedic sketches. He has also appeared in numerous films and television shows.
In March, Shaggi said that he keeps his personal life off social media to protect it.
