Popular Nigerian actress still hurt by death of only child

Nigerian actress, Ada Ameh has said she is still heartbroken following the death of her only child, Aladi Gift.

The actress, who is known for her role in the TV series, The Johnsons lost her daughter in October 2020.

Ameh discussed how she was coping with the loss of her only daughter in a recent interview with The Nations.

According to Ameh, her late daughter, Aladi made her a better person and she probably might not have been who and or what she is today if not for her.

She shared this with her teeming fans:

“In the space of some years, I lost four members of my family. It was in 2018 after the death of my younger singer, Ajuma, who was a football coach, that I discovered I was suffering from depression. I had not even healed totally, when my daughter passed away.

“My family members, friends and colleagues stood by me and supported me with prayers. Empress Njamah became like a small mother to me. We have known each other for over 22 years. It has just been by the grace and mercy of God.

“I miss my daughter so much and I still have a large picture of her in my living room. My daughter died as an adult and we practically grew up together. I had her at the age of 14. She was more of a friend to me, than a daughter. It is not something I can ever forget. Even if I give birth again tomorrow, I cannot replace her.

“She was irreplaceable. She made me a better person. The way I value and appreciate people was because of her. In many ways, she made me who I am today. If I did not have her, perhaps, I would not have been the person I am today. She gave my life a new meaning and she made my journey much easier (cries).”
