Nollywood actress and filmmaker Yewande Adekoya has once again spoken about the miscarriage she suffered in 2013, revealing how the painful experience reshaped her life and deepened her faith in God.
In an emotional video shared on her verified Instagram page, the actress recounted how what began as a normal pregnancy suddenly took a tragic turn.
“A few years ago, I remember it was 2013. I was pregnant at the time. After some months, I started to bleed, so I was rushed to the hospital. I knew I was miscarrying, like I was about losing the baby,” she said.
Adekoya explained that doctors later confirmed the pregnancy could not be saved and informed her that she would need to undergo an evacuation procedure the next day, a development that left her devastated.
“They told me the baby had died and we needed to do an evacuation. I had been told that evacuation was very painful. I was so sad that I’d lost my baby. I was in serious pain. I cried all through the night,” she recalled.
According to the actress, the fear of the procedure intensified her emotional struggle, especially because it was her first pregnancy.
“I was also afraid of the evacuation process that was going to be done for me in the morning. If this whole miscarriage process is this painful, how would evacuation be?” she asked.
She said she later fell asleep after receiving medication and had a striking dream involving a man dressed in white, whom she described as appearing like a doctor.
“In my dream, a man came to me. He was wearing white. He was dressed like a doctor. And then he came to me and said, ‘It is time.’ I said, ‘For what?’ He said, ‘For your evacuation process,’” Adekoya narrated.

She explained that the evacuation was carried out in the dream, and shortly after waking up, she felt something unusual.
“As soon as I sat up in bed, I felt a heavy push in my bowel. I felt like something was coming through,” she said.
The actress said she made her way to the bathroom, where the miscarriage completed itself without any surgical procedure.
“As soon as I got into the bathroom and stood at the centre of the bathroom, the baby that died fell to the ground. Blood, formation, whatever. It fell to the ground,” she recounted.
She added that doctors later examined her and confirmed that an evacuation was no longer necessary.
“When the doctors came, they did a scan, and they said there would be no need for an evacuation because the baby was no longer there. It had come out itself, and I was fine to go home,” she said.
Reflecting on the incident, Adekoya said the experience strengthened her conviction about God’s presence in her life.
“So I asked him, can you confidently say there is no God? In my dream, somebody performed an evacuation process on me, and I woke up, and the baby came out itself without any pain,” she stated.
She stressed that although God’s ways may not always be easy to understand, she believes they are guided by purpose and kindness.
“Tell me God is not kind. His ways might not be our way. Sometimes we don’t understand how he moves, but it’s not our business to understand how God moves. It’s our business to trust that he knows best,” Adekoya said.
The actress concluded by affirming that her personal experiences leave her with no doubt about God’s existence.
“I cannot come out and say there is no God because I have experienced a lot of things that I know are not ordinary. There is God, and He is faithful,” she added.
