2017 has been a year of battles for actress, Omoni Oboli but good enough she has always come out of most the battles she has faced with fervor and victorious. Recall that earlier this year, her father died from a hit a run accident in Delta State where he is based. She was able to pull through and gave her father a befitting burial with her colleagues in attendance.

Not too long after, she began a legal battle with script writer, Jude Idada who claimed that her movie, ‘Okafor’s Law’ was all his idea, for which she didn’t give him credit for. The script writer got the courts to stop her from premiering the movie, a bold and shocking movie, forcing Omoni Oboli to pay attention after ignoring the script writer who had earlier raised alarm. Luckily, the courts eventually granted her permission to air the movie in cinemas.

And just yesterday, the actress escaped a fire incidence in her home when her room got razed by fire. Omoni Oboli took to her instagram to share the story as well as a video of the aftermath of the inferno “Magnify the Lord with me my people,” she bagan. “Still shook but I’m constantly in awe of my King! God loves me. Nobody can tell me otherwise!
Since after the series of incidences that happened earlier in the year, I sometimes have panic attacks so my darling ever dependable @tomesadeoye abandoned her room and has been sleeping in mine. I’ve been nursing a very bad cold for days so I took night nurse to enable me sleep. Power went off at some point in the night and Tomi who usually can sleep in heat, got uncomfortable and couldn’t sleep.

“I on the other hand didn’t notice because I was in a drug induced sleep. Around 5am, power came back on and Tomi happily fell asleep. She hadn’t slept for long when she started perceiving something, she opened her eyes to see the AC engulfed in flames. She screamed at me to wake up. I saw the flames and screamed ‘The blood of Jesus’. Ran into the bathroom to get water but I didn’t think I was fast enough, so I abandoned it cos I realized the AC is right by the door and if it gets any worse, I wouldn’t be able to leave the room. I told Tomi to call the editor (I have an editing suite in my home and we are editing WOS so the editor moved in) she screamed his name and he came rushing upstairs.

“We all ran downstairs to get the fire extinguisher, couldn’t operate it and proceeded to turn off electricity from the circuit breaker. Tomi went back up and screamed that the fire was a lot worse. Idris (the editor) and Paul (my gateman) started carrying buckets of water and soap upstairs. By this time, they couldn’t even get into the room because the fire was too much. They started pouring water from the door. I want to say that we definitely had angelic assistance because in less than 10 mins, they put out an electrical fire with water and soap!

“I know God sent His angels. God has been too good to me this year! I’m so unworthy of His grace upon my life. I’m so unfaithful yet He remains faithful! I bow before your majesty my Father. All that I am, all I will ever be, I give to you Lord. Thank God for our lives. If we had woken up just 3 minutes after we did, we would not have been able to leave the room,” she concluded.
