Nollywood actress Debbie Shokoya has shared a deeply personal and emotional account of her pregnancy journey, a year after enduring the heartbreak of losing her first pregnancy.
In a post on her Instagram page, the actress revealed the emotional rollercoaster she faced during her pregnancy journey. She recounted how she initially thought she had lost everything, but God had greater plans for her. Despite being told that she had high prolactin levels, which could hinder conception, she miraculously became pregnant. Debbie credited her faith for this unexpected blessing, emphasizing that God was with her every step of the way, turning what seemed like a setback into a moment of triumph.
“When Men Say There Is A Casting Down… God Said, ‘There’s A Lifting Up!!’” she wrote, expressing her gratitude and awe at how her situation turned around. She acknowledged that while the devil tried to use her past trauma against her during this journey, God’s unwavering support carried her through, blessing her in ways she could not have imagined.
Debbie encouraged her fans to trust in God’s timing and plan, assuring them that even when things don’t go as they expect, they happen in the way God intends, which ultimately makes the most sense. She promised to share more about her journey on her YouTube channel, “Debbie Show TV.”
Just a week ago, Debbie became a first-time mother, welcoming a baby girl with her husband. The joyous news was shared by her colleague Seiilat, who posted a photo of the glowing actress and expressed gratitude for the safe arrival of her child. The new parents celebrated their daughter’s naming ceremony on Friday, revealing her name as Khairat Ayokunmi Ejalonibu. The event was attended by several of Debbie’s colleagues, including Dayo Amusa.
The arrival of Debbie’s daughter is especially poignant, coming just a year after the actress endured the painful loss of her previous pregnancy. In August 2023, Debbie tearfully shared a video on Instagram, recounting how she lost her baby at eight months. She spoke about the deep bond she had already formed with her unborn child and the sacrifices she made, only to face such a devastating loss.
Reflecting on her painful experience, Debbie acknowledged that while things didn’t go as she had planned, they unfolded according to God’s plan, for which she was grateful. She also dedicated a movie to her lost child earlier this year, describing how the experience, though traumatic, made her stronger and more resilient.
