• Maraji has gratefully recounted how she and her family miraculously survived a car crash.
• The skitmaker who has been away from social media for almost 3 months put her fans out of their misery when she returned on August 31st evening.

Media personality and comedian Gloria Olorunto, better known as Maraji, has revealed that she and her family were involved in a car accident.

The skit maker, who has been away from social media since June 2024, revealed the accident prompted the break.

She narrated in a YouTube video that the crash happened on a day they were all returning from a church service.

Maraji said the family vehicle they rode in “spun severally before ending in a ditch”. In Maraji’s words;

“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.”
