My Grandma Spirit Appeared to Me – Woman Shares How She Survived a Severe Asthma Attack
A woman has shared a deeply personal account of how she believes her late grandmother helped save her life during a severe asthma attack.
Amber Baker, who has suffered from asthma since childhood, described a terrifying health crisis in November 2018 that she says changed her life completely. The incident, which she referred to as her “worst flare-up,” was made more severe by a bronchial illness that left her struggling to breathe.
According to her account, her condition deteriorated to the point where she required emergency medical attention. She recalled the overwhelming sensation of being unable to breathe, describing it as though there was immense pressure on her chest.
During the most critical moment, Amber said she became overwhelmed with fear and began praying to her grandmother, Elaine, who had passed away the previous year. As her condition worsened, she prepared for the possibility of death.
She then lost consciousness.
Amber recounted that during this time, she experienced what she believes was a spiritual encounter, in which her grandmother appeared to her.
She said:
“When my grandmother’s spirit walked into the room, I was gasping for air and in crisis.
“When I saw her, I knew she was answering my prayer for help.
“She came to my bed and helped me breathe.
“I was elated to be in her presence as she was my best friend and I was very close to her growing up, and I missed her so much.
“I was also so relieved to have her help me.”
Describing the physical intensity of the attack, she added:
“I could barely talk or walk without being completely out of breath.
“It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest and every breath was a strain and a fight.
“It was the scariest time of my life.
“I kept praying to my grandmother in spirit and the angels to help me because I truly thought I was going to die.”
Amber explained that she had been alone when the attack began and was unable to reach her phone for help. She believes that at that moment, her grandmother appeared to assist her.
She continued:
“I saw a white, hazy figure walk through my door and come to me, immediately laying her hands over my forehead.
“She began to calm me and breathe into my body and chest.
“My whole body started to go up and down and I felt as if my chest was opening with every breath more and more.
“I was completely taken over by her essence, given one breath after another, breathing open my chest and feeling peace and love.”
She also described sensing another presence during the experience:
“There was a presence next to me on the left named Mary.
“She was pure, unconditional love and didn’t say anything but felt like an anchor.”
Amber went on to describe a series of vivid sensations and messages she believes she received during the experience:
“I was on my side and then my grandma’s spirit moved me to my back and my hands automatically went up as if to receive.
“She said ‘receive’ over and over again.
“I felt another layer of opening and the tightness began to subside as my whole body was permeated by a rapture of love and deep breathing, opening my whole chest and torso.
“I asked her to please not stop until I could comfortably go to sleep.
“Knowing I was communicating directly with my grandma, she assured me she wouldn’t.
“I was totally aware of what was happening, and completely astonished but grateful at the same time, knowing she was saving my life.”
She further described what she interpreted as a spiritual encounter beyond her grandmother’s presence:
“His frequency filled the entire room and all of my awareness.
“He had a warm, orange, reddish glow.
“His features weren’t defined the way we see a person – he had the shape of a human form, but his body was fluid energy, moving like water, glowing with light.”
Amber said the experience deepened into what she perceived as a profound spiritual awakening:
“They said that I am just a seed in the universe, a physical body that is not bound by my physical body but boundless to unlimited consciousness and power.
“As my mind expanded into this awareness my body felt smaller and farther away.
“I could feel myself tapping into an omnipresent, omniscient power and entering another level of consciousness.
“I knew I was meeting God.
“I was travelling into a vortex of white light.
“It was more than a meeting – it was an activation of a state of being that was divinity itself and that was me; I was God and my divine presence activated.”
She also claimed to have received messages from spiritual figures:
“Archangel Michael told me that my angels, Mother Mary and he, are always with me and that they would bestow upon me a miraculous healing to show me the power of this unlimited source that we can access at any time.”
Reflecting on the experience, she added:
“I had crossed over but I was not dead.”
“I felt like a completely different person.
“I knew my divine presence had been activated.
“I felt my body beginning to change and my asthma slowly improving.
“My purpose became clear: to help others awaken their divine presence, just as mine had been.”
Since the incident, Amber says her life has taken a new direction. She claims to have developed heightened spiritual awareness, including the ability to receive telepathic messages, which she has embraced in her work as a spiritual teacher under the name @malibumedium.
She concluded:
“Even though I had spiritual encounters growing up, crossing over and meeting God has greatly changed my viewpoint.
“It has given me the ability to anchor faith and trust in a higher power and life being eternal into a 100% knowing place.
“I also realise that God and angels and our loved ones are watching over us and want to help us.”

I thought I was going to die because the water was up to my chest and the hole was so deep — Woman recounts after falling into open manhole while walking to work
A video that has gone viral online shows the terrifying moment a woman fell into a manhole while on her way to work in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
CCTV footage shows her stepping onto a manhole cover, which suddenly gave way. She slipped and fell into the opening as the cover swung back into place above her.
A motorcyclist who had dropped her off witnessed the incident and immediately rushed to help.
The accident reportedly happened at 7:41 a.m. on May 31 in Rio de Janeiro.
Fabiana was later taken to the hospital for treatment. She recounted the terrifying experience, saying:
“I thought I was going to die, because the water was up to my chest and the hole was so deep.
“I stepped on the edge of the hole, on the metal, and just went straight in. The cover flipped, hit my forehead, and I fell inside.
“The motorbike driver saw me falling. So he got off the bike and came over, because I was calling for help.
“The residents came, got a ladder from the bakery, and pulled me out.
“I’m in a lot of pain, sore all over – my forehead, arm, leg, backside, chest. I can’t get out of bed.
“I keep thinking that if it had been a child in my place, they would have died, because a child wouldn’t be able to stay there, with all that water and cables, and it’s so deep.”
Investigators believe the accident may have been linked to suspected theft activity in the area. CCTV footage from earlier in the morning reportedly showed two men tampering with the manhole cover around 1:59 a.m.
Authorities suspect the individuals were attempting to steal copper cables from the drainage system. Although they left without taking anything, one of them allegedly replaced the cover without properly securing it.
Officials also confirmed that another nearby manhole cover had been removed in the area.
In response, the Tijuca Subprefecture stated: “The equipment has already been put back in place, and the maintenance department has been called in to ensure it is properly secured and to guarantee road safety.”

Woman shares how she endured years of abuse before her husband poured acid on her
A woman identified as Gift has opened up about the traumatic experience she allegedly suffered at the hands of her husband, Godday claiming he poured acid on her during their marriage.
Speaking in a video shared by Berekete Family, Gift narrated her ordeal and revealed that following the incident, her husband was arrested and remanded in Keffi Prison.
According to Gift, her struggles began at a young age. She explained that she was raised by her grandmother until she turned 13, when a man she had never known came into her life and introduced himself as her biological father.
She alleged that her father later handed her over to one of his friends in Abuja, where she endured severe maltreatment and was allegedly forced into sexual activities.
Gift said she eventually left the house and tried to rebuild her life. However, she later received a call from one of her husband’s friends, who informed her that her husband was seeking forgiveness and regretted his past actions.
Trusting that he had changed, she agreed to meet him at his friend’s residence. According to her, while they were sitting in the living room, her husband suddenly picked up a substance that was beside him and poured it on her. She believes the substance was acid.
Corroborating part of the story, the wife of the husband’s friend shared her account of the events leading up to the incident.
She said:”They have been having this issue several times. Sometimes, I used to settle them. So, one day, she came to my place and later went home. The man (Gift’s husband) beat her mercilessly, so she called me early in the morning. I went there and asked her what was happening. She told me that because she came to my place, her husband beat her. I asked why, and she said she didn’t know. She was crying, her face was swollen, and she said her neck was paining her. She told me he strangled her neck and nearly killed her the previous night.
“I said, ‘Why?’ While we were there, the husband came. I asked him why he beat her, and he said he did not beat her. My friend later told me I should just leave the matter.”
The witness said she eventually left them and returned to her business.
She further stated:
“So later in the evening, Gift told me that she left the man’s house because if she stayed there, he would kill her. I said, ‘Okay.’ We continued communicating with her even after she left her husband’s house.
“That very day, in November last year (2025), she told me her brother was preparing for a wedding and asked me to help her go to the market to buy some things. She said she would call me when it was time.
“To my greatest surprise, somebody later called me and asked me to rush to the hospital because something had happened. I asked what happened, and they told me the worst had happened. They said he poured acid on her.
“Since that very day, I left my shop and went there. When I saw what happened, I was angry. I called the man (Gift’s husband) and told him, ‘You have done the worst, right? You want to kill her, right?’ He said, ‘Let her die.’
“I asked him why he poured acid on her. He said, ‘Yes, I poured it on her. If she wants to die, let her die.’ I told him she would not die. Since that day, I have been with her in the hospital and have not left her. We first took her to a nearby hospital, but there was no improvement, so we moved her to another hospital, and it was the same thing.”
The emotional account has since drawn reactions online, with many expressing sympathy for Gift and calling for justice in the case.

Iya Ibadan, as she was fondly called by Alexx was a remarkable lady whose kindness, commitment, and selflessness left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She served this association faithfully, always willing to lend a helping hand and contribute wherever she was needed. Her calm disposition, sense of responsibility, and unwavering dedication made her an invaluable part of our community.

Words cannot adequately express the grief we feel. We mourn not only a pioneer but also a friend, a sister, and a woman whose contributions and presence can never be replaced. Her devotion, sacrifice, and commitment to the association will forever be remembered and cherished.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, loved ones, and everyone affected by this tragic loss. May God grant them strength and comfort during this difficult time, and may Matilda’s gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten. ❤️💔😭”

Family and Friends Mourn Nigerian UK Returnee Kidnapped and Killed in Delta State
Family members, friends, and loved ones have paid their final respects to Samson Onotakaroma Agidotan, a 44-year-old Nigerian returnee from the United Kingdom who was reportedly kidnapped and later found dead in Delta State.
According to Erewele, Samson returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom and was travelling to meet with family members on January 29, 2026, when he was allegedly abducted.
Sadly, weeks later, reports indicated that his body was discovered on February 17, 2026, bringing a heartbreaking end to the search for him.
Following months of mourning and funeral preparations, Samson was finally laid to rest on May 22, 2026.
He wrote: “Life is truly unpredictable. Yesterday around 9pm while driving from Peterborough to London on the M25, I received a strange phone call from a woman asking if I knew someone named Samson,” he wrote.
“I told her I knew different people with that name and that I was driving, so she could call me back later. But from her voice, I could already sense that something was terribly wrong.
“She later sent me a picture, and to my greatest shock, it was my very close friend here in the UK from Sapele.
“I immediately confirmed that I knew him very well. I had even tried calling him some days ago, but his UK number was switched off, which was unusual.
“Then she sent me his obituary. I was completely speechless. She explained that she was his wife and that she got my number from a phone he had previously gifted to their daughter.
“She told me he travelled to Nigeria and was kidnapped. Days later, his lifeless body was discovered in the bush in Asaba.
“What a painful world we live in. A good man gone just like that.
“This has deeply shaken me because he was honestly one of the best people I met in the UK, humble, kind, peaceful, hardworking, and full of life. It is heartbreaking to know that his wife and daughter are now left behind with this pain.
“May his soul rest in perfect peace. May God comfort and strengthen his family. And may we all value life and the people around us, because tomorrow is never promised.
Comr Omoike.”

He is not a true Muslim — Nigerians slam Razak Okoya for bringing ring light to prayer ground during Eid al-Adha
Raheem Okoya, son of Nigerian billionaire businessman Rasak Okoya, has come under heavy criticism on social media platform X after sharing a video recorded while observing Eid al-Adha prayers.
The video, which quickly went viral online, showed Raheem filming himself during the prayer session, a move many Nigerians described as disrespectful and inappropriate.
One user wrote:
“Billionaire’s son, Raheem Okoya, thinks he can do whatever he likes and call it prayer. This is my problem with some self-proclaimed Muslims. Nobody is forcing anyone to practice Islam. If you choose to pray, then you should do it the right way.”
Another user simply commented:
“The boy is not a Muslim.”
A different reaction read:
“This is totally unacceptable and his sallah is not complete. He is not praying to God but praying to himself. Whatever wealth or influence he has, Allah can take it away within the blink of an eye. He should humble himself. Dangote, BUA and other big names bow down to Allah; he is nothing in front of Allah.”
Others also questioned certain aspects of his prayer posture shown in the video.
One critic stated:
“His prayer is invalid because he skipped very important aspects of the prayer. His forehead is not on the ground, he is laying all his hands flat on the ground instead of just the palms, and he is not sitting straight for the tahiyyat. Wasted his time.”
The video has since generated widespread debate online, with some defending Raheem Okoya while others insisted that religious practices should be approached with seriousness and respect.

Mom dies after undergoing 3-in-1 cosmetic surgery shortly after giving birth
A 39-year-old mother identified as Juliana Silva Xavier has tragically died after suffering complications following a three-in-one cosmetic surgery procedure.
According to reports, Juliana underwent the surgeries on May 11 after paying more than 20,000 BRL for the procedures, which she had reportedly dreamed of having for a long time.
However, shortly after the operation, her health began to deteriorate. Reports stated that she suffered cardiac arrest and experienced severe complications during her recovery period.
Speaking to local media, her husband, Luís Antônio Castro Barros, revealed that they had asked doctors whether it was safe for Juliana to undergo surgery so soon after childbirth.
“We asked whether it was safe to have surgery so soon after that, and the doctor said there would be no danger,” he said.
He also described the distressing symptoms Juliana experienced after the procedure.
“She was in pain, hot, thirsty, and her lips were pale and bluish,” he recalled.
In response to the incident, the surgeon involved, through his lawyer Raul Canal, released a statement saying the operation itself had been successful and without immediate complications.
“The surgery proceeded as expected and without complications,” the statement read.
“However, in the post-operative period there was a serious and unexpected clinical complication resulting from organic changes presented by the patient herself, which was promptly identified by the medical team.”
Before her death, Juliana worked as a sales manager for a retail company and was known for maintaining an active lifestyle. According to her husband, she enjoyed going to the gym and took great pride in caring for herself and her family.
“She was very image-conscious. She took care of her body and of me,” Luís said emotionally.
“I owe my life to her. I have a heart condition, I had heart surgery, and many times she helped me through it.”
He went on to describe her as a loving wife and devoted mother.
“She was a friend, a partner, a companion, a devoted wife, and a wonderful mother. She loved that baby, an angel, a divine gift,” he added.
Juliana was laid to rest in Iguape, where her family lives, on May 16.
