Zicsaloma, the Nigerian skit maker, has expressed gratitude to God for protecting him and his team from a potentially disastrous incident.

On Friday, the online comedian shared footage on Instagram showing the aftermath of his POP ceiling collapse in his home’s sitting room.

POP, also called plaster of Paris, is one of the most preferred materials used to make a false ceiling.

According to Zicsaloma, the incident occurred shortly after some members of his team, who had been camping at his residence for three days, left the room.

The skit maker added that no one was injured, except for the ceiling fan which was damaged in the incident.

“Na God dey save person. I was sleeping upstairs I just heard a sound in my sleep. I woke up, confused about what was happening. I was even scared to go down thinking my building was collapsing,” he said.

“Coming down, see what I saw. The sitting room Pop ceiling collapsed. I just finished a shoot where people were sleeping in the sitting room. Just imagine they were here.

“They just left and they have been camping for three days. Thank God it is just the fan that broke. All the Pop just came down.

“That is why it is good to get good artisans to build your house. They will tell you they are trained so try to verify.”

Ufuoma McDermott, the Nollywood actress, has opened up on her battle with stage four kidney disease.

In a recent episode of the WithChude podcast, the 43-year-old revealed that she had been battling with disease for about 12 years.

Ufuoma said she had initially been diagnosed with stage three but it later progressed to stage four because she failed to listen to the advice of her doctors.

The movie star added that it got so bad last year that she thought she “was going to die” because she had pushed her body. She also talked about her negotiation with her doctor regarding work and rest.

“My weight, people do not understand when I say I cannot afford to put on weight, I do not want to die. I have little children. I had pushed my body and it was borderline stage 4,” she said.

“Last year was a very trying time in my life where I thought I was going to die. I have battled chronic kidney for a while, for about 12 years now. I was negotiating with the doctor, she said ‘I need you to go home and rest’.

“But I was like ‘what if I go home… I promise you if I sleep today, before I leave tomorrow…’ She said ‘Ufuoma I need you to sleep now, if you can take tabs and just sleep. I need you to rest, I need your blood pressure to drop.’ She mixed up my medications for me, long and short is that I went back on set.”

In 2017, the actress revealed that she lost her brother to kidney failure.
