Ifu Ennada Opens Up On Losing Her Memory And Overcoming Depression Through God’s Grace
Former Big Brother Naija star Ifu Ennada has opened up about a terrifying period in her life when she lost her memory and battled severe depression, describing it as a season that tested her faith to the core. In an emotional Instagram post, she revealed that over the past 18 months, she went through near-death experiences, mental breakdowns, and intense spiritual struggles that almost destroyed her. Yet, she said her faith in Jesus became her anchor through the chaos. According to Ifu, the ordeal began on July 23, 2025 — her birthday — when she suddenly woke up without any recollection of who she was or recognition of her family members. “It felt like my whole life had been erased, but through the Holy Spirit, I did not forget God. I remembered Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the meaning of my name in Hebrews 11:1. I prayed and I held on,” she recalled. Despite sinking into depression and extreme exhaustion, Ifu said her mother’s prayers and her trust in God helped her survive the darkest moments. She likened the experience to a scene from a thriller movie, noting that her recovery was nothing short of divine. Having stayed away from social media for over a year, the actress and entrepreneur said she decided to share her story now to give hope to others struggling with pain, loss, or despair, emphasizing that faith and prayer can truly bring healing and restoration.
