Nollywood actor Kelechi Udegbe has recounted how he survived a near-fatal car accident that happened in Lagos in November 2023. He recently described the experience as life-changing, saying that it increased his faith in God.
Speaking in an interview on the With Chude podcast hosted by Chude Jideonwo, Kelechi said the crash was so bad that he could not even turn his neck on his hospital bed.
According to him, his last memory before the crash was parting ways with his friend and heading toward the Third Mainland Bridge, only for him to open his eyes and find himself at a clinic.
“That accident was crazy. I was with Gregory Ojefua, my guy. Greg is my guy. We just finished where we were. I asked him where hin dey go. And he said he was going through the Eko Bridge. I said I was going through Third Mainland. And that was it.
And I entered the car and drove off. The next thing I remember was waking up in hospital. I was like looking around and started asking what is going on? I said I was supposed to be on set. The next thing was seeing a bandage around my neck. I could not turn my neck. I was told to calm down. I did not know what was going on,” he said.

The moviestar further noted that even though he was a Christian before the accident, his faith in God automatically increased after he survived.
Kelechi concluded by saying that God is definitely the reason he lived to tell his story 2 years later.
“I would say before the accident, I was a Christian. I believe in God, pray, and all that. Since the accident, my conversation with God, my belief in God is a notch higher,” he added.
