Famous Nigerian filmmaker Kemi Adetiba has again spoken publicly about her struggle with fibroids as she reveals a third surgery may just be on the way.
Adetiba first spoke about her battle with fibroids in 2015 when she described it as a “severe case” that once sent her to the emergency room.
Meanwhile, speaking about the condition this time, Adetiba took to the comment section of an Instagram post made by actress Ini Dima-Okojie.
Ini had shared a video of her talking about her battle with the condition and captioned it: “We NEED a cure for fibroids. In the meantime, I hope every woman dealing with it is hanging in there. Just know that you are not alone”.

However, taking to the comment section of the post, Adetiba revealed that she faces the possibility of undergoing a third surgery after the initial two she’s had seem not to have resolved the issue.
She wrote, “I’ve had surgery twice for this already, and it now seems I might need a third. Sigh.”
Adetiba has consistently defied her battle with fibroids to emerge as one of the most successful filmmakers in the country. She’s currently enjoying the success of her latest project titled ‘To Kill A Monkey’.
Adetiba studied Law at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) before proceeding to the New York Film Academy. She began her career as a radio host, transitioned into television presenting, and even hosted Maltina Dance All before making her mark as a director.

Kemi Adetiba has thanked her audience for the overwhelming support of her latest movie, To Kill A Monkey (TKAM).
She has gone on to explain the emotional and creative risks she took to bring the project to life.
In a heartfelt statement, Adetiba said she is still searching for the right words to fully convey her appreciation, describing TKAM as one of her most daring projects yet.
According to her, the film dives into raw, unfiltered human stories, exploring the emotional and moral complexities of what it takes to push a principled person to the breaking point—and the consequences that follow.
She noted that the characters in TKAM make difficult, often morally ambiguous choices but stay true to their realities.
