Nollywood actress Kemi Afolabi has lashed out at those telling her she doesn’t look sick.
Taking to one of her social media page, she said if one has never gone to bed wondering if they will wake up the next day, then they don’t have right to tell her she doesn’t look sick.
She noted how she has stomached and handled so many things she is not pleased with maturely in the past for the sake of peace, but now, is no longer doing that because of her health.
According to her, it has been confirmed that it has contributed to her health challenges, which have led to trauma, which triggers inflammation that causes chronic lupus flares.
“I will be doing more of speaking up and advocating for myself and many other warriors chasing their health to be able to function like a normal human being while talk chase your dreams.
If you’ve never gone to bed wondering if you’re gonna wake up the next day because of how your body is doing. Pls don’t ever tell me, ‘But you don’t look sick’.
Idgaf how close you thought you were to me, don’t!!
Got nothing to prove to anyone.
Opinions don’t pay bills.
I have stomached and handled so many things I am not pleased with maturely in the past for the sake of peace.
I will no longer be doing that because it is confirmed medically that it has contributed to my health challenges.
Trauma accelerates autoimmune disease, triggers inflammation that causes chronic lupus flares for me every day time!
I know for a fact I am not operating off of my own strength.
Na Baba God dey run am.
2026, I never drink after drop cup health-wise.
Need nobody’s pity, leave me alone, don’t care about yours”.
