The comedian and media celebrity Gloria Olorunto, popularly known as Maraji, has disclosed that she was in a car accident with her family.
The creator of the sketch, who has not posted on social media since June 2024, disclosed that the mishap was the reason for the hiatus.
In a YouTube video, she described how the crash occurred on the day that they were all leaving a church session.
The family car they were riding in, according to Maraji, “spun severally before ending in a ditch.”
According to Maraji:
“If you have ever been in a car accident, you know it feels like you are in between life and death,”
“It feels like you could have just died.
“What even made it scary for me was the fact that everybody was in the car. My husband, myself, and my kids.
“We were coming back from church. It was just so scary and made me kind of think I could have just died.
“If I had died, all the work I have done would just go.
“What is the point of working so hard if you will not rest?
“And that made me appreciate life more and do what I love to do which is rest.
“I was shocked by the accident. We were just driving when a car hit us from the side and we were turning around.
“It was like a Nigerian film, it was crazy. The car was just going around and then we found ourselves in the ditch.
“I checked my kids and they were okay. Everybody was just fine, nobody had any injury.”
Maraji is a Nigerian comedienne who hails from Edo state, and Maraji came into the limelight on Instagram back in 2016.
