I Was Stillborn, So My Parents Had To Throw Me Away — Actress Toyin Abraham.

Nollywood actress and producer Toyin Abraham has opened up about her life and spiritual gifts.

She made the revelation in a chat with ThisDay.

She said: "I'm incredibly spiritual. Back then, one of the problems I had was that I didn't listen to myself. I would hear the voice of the Lord and see it in my dreams, but I would still want to follow my flesh.

"But ever since I started following the lead of the Holy Spirit, things have drastically changed for me, and I'm pleased about it. I'm dada – those people that naturally have dreadlocks from birth. Since birth, I have been spiritual.

"My parents told me I was stillborn, so they had to throw me away. Then there was a clergyman from Ibadan who came to the hospital and asked about me, and I was brought back to life. I was told that I never cried or did anything until the day of my naming ceremony.

"It was when they named me Oluwatoyin that I started crying as a baby.

"Again, when they wanted to shave off my locs, they had to tell me it was the Holy Spirit because I didn't want them to do it."

She further stated that there were voices in her head.

She explained: "I decided to have a small circle because there was too much noise in my head. There is always noise around me, both positive and negative. I am not a careful person. My heart is so free. I am someone you can trust with anything. You can do whatever you want to do in my presence."

Because of her spiritual gifts, Toyin said she attended a Bible college to prepare her for a life as a religious leader. However, everything changed when Nollywood actress Bukky Wright discovered her in Ibadan. She starred in her first movie in 2003.
