Kemi Adetiba Shares Sorrow Over Potential Third Fibroid Surgery
In the world of Nigerian entertainment, award-winning filmmaker Kemi Adetiba has been making headlines for a different reason. She recently shared an update on her ongoing battle with fibroids, a non-cancerous condition that affects the uterus.
Despite undergoing two surgeries, Adetiba's health issues persist. In early August 2025, she publicly disclosed that she might need a third surgery to manage the condition. Her Instagram posts and comments emphasized the challenges she continues to face with fibroids.
Adetiba's candid disclosure implicitly highlights the importance of advancing fibroid treatment research and finding lasting cures. Although no specific organized campaign or formal call was mentioned, her prolonged struggle serves as a powerful testament to the need for effective treatment options.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, reality TV star Leo Dasilva has raised an alarm over the growing sale of counterfeit products in Nigeria. Dasilva, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, bought counterfeit items from a popular supermarket in Abuja. The items included personal care products like Sensodyne toothpaste, Simple face wash, and deodorant, as well as pharmaceuticals like cod liver oil and Gestid.
Dasilva's purchase occurred within one month and poses serious health risks to the public. In response, he called on the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to conduct immediate raids on major supermarkets in Abuja to ensure the safety of consumers.
In a related development, Nollywood actress Ini Dima-Okojie has also spoken out about fibroids. She called for a cure for the condition and offered encouragement to those with similar situations. Dima-Okojie's personal experience with fibroids is not publicly known, but her call for a cure underscores the widespread impact of the condition.
As of August 2025, both Adetiba and Dima-Okojie continue to fight against their respective health challenges, raising awareness about the difficulties in managing fibroids effectively and the need for better treatment options.
