Over the years her photographs graced magazine covers. Known for her chic elegance, the top fashionista who was never missing on the social scene won numerous style awards and suddenly, all went quiet.
Then news filtered in that death almost swallowed her up but mercy found her.
On Sunday, July 2, 2023, during her Thanksgiving service, Barrister Grace Egbagbe whose career at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) spaned 27 years, culminating in her role as Executive Director, Marketing, told a fully packed Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, Norbeck Blvd, Silver Spring, MD, in the United States the incredible story of how she died and came back to life.
Egbagbe revealed that she lost consciousness at home and was rushed to the hospital. When no pulse was found after oxygen was administered to resuscitate her, the nurses were convinced that they had lost her. While they were waiting for the doctor to arrive and confirm her dead, they suddenly heard her shout, Jesus!.. Jesus! and came back to life.
The incident reportedly stunned the hospital staff, who had never witnessed such an occurrence. They were said to have insisted that they found no pulse when she was checked several times while on oxygen.
Barr. Egbagbe took time out to appreciate those who stood by her during that period, particularly her son, Nkemka, and her daughter, Zemayé.
The Edo state-born lawyer obtained a degree in English from the University of Ibadan, another in Theatre Arts, Film and Television Production at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and a Law degree from the University of Buckingham, England.
She had a successful career in the media spanning 27 years at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and culminating in her role as Executive Director, Marketing.
