This year’s birthday holds a profound meaning for Nigerian comedian and actor Broda Shaggi.
As he turned 31 on September 18, 2024, Shaggi took to Instagram to share an emotional message, revealing a recent close brush with death. The comedian posted photos from his birthday shoot and reflected on how this year’s celebration differs from past ones.
“Birthdays are usually not my thing. In fact, I switch off my phone on these days cos I dislike receiving birthday calls and wishes. Only those who are close to me knows Shaggi is not Samuel but that ain’t a discussion for today, lol,” he wrote.
“But this particular birthday is different cos the gift of life was almost taken from me recently but God showed himself and gave me another chance. In fact, this photoshoot was done last night, lol,” he continued.
Grateful for his second chance, Shaggi expressed deep appreciation, writing, “Today, I’m happy, I’m grateful, I’m honored cos I know some birthday mates who aren’t here to celebrate theirs. I’m no different from them but God has spared me for a reason, I’m sure.”
For those looking to celebrate him, he humorously added, “For those who love me, God has already given me the greatest gift but if you wish to gift me today, all you need to do is listen to this Birthday song I made for myself. It’s available on every music platform and you can also click the link in my bio. Thank you 🤍.”
His heartfelt post drew a flood of well-wishes from fans, friends, and fellow celebrities.
