Must Read... Testimony of how Nollywood actor Von Akpochi was nearly burnt to death
Several surgeons and Burn Experts
have been thrilled at the miraculous healing. God is wonderful and real... I
saw the Hand of God live in my life; a friend of mine that is still surprised
at the whole healing process while in shock of excitement, she confirmed to me
that she sees a light over me.

This is not one of
those oratorical compositions or some popular prose or write up, this is real
and true.
I do not like to
think of the way it happened but I will try to explain part: My car was burnt
totally as the fire started from the bonnet of the car and engulfed the entire
car. I was literally engulfed with fire while I ran alone and helpless along
the lonely road beside the Harvey road cemetery; for those of you who are
conversant with Lagos and the Yaba area, you will understand the loneliness I speak
of as this happened at about 4am on my way back from a quick strategy meeting.
At first my car hit
one of those big blocks meant for constructing gutters. The block was placed by
the side of the road instead of being placed in the gutter, and then the fire
started from the bonnet of my car. With the fire over my body, I screamed, "Blood
of Jesus" severally and dove to the ground to roll but suddenly, the fire
went out. At this moment I could not feel my face anymore, my hands were burnt
black.
My little Von-Edric
back at home was crying unusually that morning my wife said. My wife had called
me before the accident to tell me that my son was crying heavily. I normally
change his dippers at night and sometimes feed him, this is to allow my wife
rest at night as the responsibilities during the day are quite tasking. She
then called me again to ask if I was getting close to the house, then and there
I broke the news to my wife that I was burnt by fire. She screamed and went
into prayers.
At this time my mind
was racing through a lot of things, my acting career, and my job as a business
consultant with one of the multinational companies in Nigeria. Oh my political
career, oh my face, oh my "shakara" lol! Oh my job as the host of
miss tourism 2015 oh my... what a devil is this I thought, well, many things
went through my mind. But, in all of that moment the worst of the things that
bothered me was the excruciating pain I was feeling, the pain was so severe
that I felt like knocking off. I had heard that people mostly die from pain and
infection in cases of burn, this thought bothered me further. All I could do
was pray, pray!! And pray!!!
Let me reserve
details of the entire process of the accident for the sake of post-traumatic
stress, I shall continue with the hospital experience instead. I was rushed to
a specialist hospital in Surulere Lagos by some unknown security men patrolling
the area.
The hospital was the
only one I could remember at that time, maybe it is because the hospital is
close to my home because I told then the hospital they should take me to. We
finally got to the hospital, they rushed me inside and handed me over to the
doctor on duty, God bless those men wherever they are. Whilst in the hospital
receiving first aid, the doctor on duty had given me the strongest pain killer
they had in the hospital, he said.
This pain killer was
supposed to knock me out but my eyes were wide open as my brain was still
contending with the pains rather than respond to some drowsy pain killer. I was
so unstable and disturbed; I got up severally to pace about hoping I could walk
away from the pain. Suddenly my wife walked into the hospital looking worried
and of course to also check the extent of damage the fire had caused but at
this point in time, one could not measure the damage caused as all my face was
black like burnt coal and hands burnt dry. My two lower palms were bruised from
the dive, my thighs were slightly burnt and my upper bum was also burnt, my
neck was burnt from the front but nothing happened to any other part of my
body.
I quickly asked my
wife to inform my mother whom I know would back me up with serious prayers.
Please help me say a word of thanks to my praying wife and praying mother and I
thank those who heard early and prayed for me and those of you praying for me now,
God bless you.
On the third day, my
face was swollen to the extent that my eyes were covered, my hands were swollen
also, and my neck was largely blistered also with my bum blistered too. Too
much pain for one brain to cope with, pain killers were like taking water as
injections. I was steadily on drips, my hands were pierced at random looking
for veins; I was suffering.
This is about a Month
now and this is my testimony… you will appreciate God more when I release the
pictures of my current look and my look then. Yes I had plastic and burn
surgeons consulted; I have a skin specialist working on my face and neck but
believe me these surgeons, skin specialist, nurses and doctors are marvelled at
the healing and recovery of my face and other body parts. They say there is no
medical explanation to this speed and healing process but they just say, “thank
God for you Von, you are a gifted and blessed child of God”.
I just want to
conclude this by saying Thank God for the miracle of life, thank God for healing
and speedy recovery, thank God for my Wife, Mother, Father, other Family
members and of course you because I believe your lips will say Thank you Lord
for this miracle and testimony.
I am bouncing back to
my job and of course back to the movies again fresher and finer.
God bless you all
this is my testimony.
*OMG!!!
Thank God!

share the other pics,too horrifying
May God heal my super star Von!
