By Benjamin Abioye
Veteran Nollywood actor Chidi Mokeme reflected on the harrowing experience of a fire incident that destroyed his home in the United States five years ago. He shared his story while expressing sympathy for the victims of the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.
Chidi Mokeme described the encounter with the fire as one of the most terrifying experiences of his life, stating that the trauma remains with him to this day. He explained, “Our house got burnt. Coming face to face with fire in its full gory is one of the scariest and most terrifying experiences anyone can ever have. The trauma stays with you forever.”
Recalling the incident, he wrote about how an ordinary day with bright sunshine turned into a nightmare, resulting in the loss of everything. Chidi Mokeme emphasized the destructive power of fire, calling it one of the most feared forces of nature. “The whole world is in agreement that fire is the most destructive force of nature. And that’s why most are afraid to die. The fear of hell,” he added.
Chidi also shared a philosophical perspective on fire, referencing its significance in religious contexts. “Even the Almighty God gives us a clue into this by choosing, when angered, to use water to destroy the world, but he saved the fire for the end. Isn’t fire the main character in hell?”
He expressed deep concern for those affected by the current wildfires in Los Angeles, offering prayers for the victims and their families. “My heart goes out to everyone out there. Please say a prayer for them. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.”
Additionally, Chidi Mokeme extended his gratitude to firefighters for their bravery and dedication, acknowledging the risks they take to protect others from the fire. “I say a big thank you to the men and women of the fire service. The firefighters who put their lives on the line to save ours. The ones who run towards the danger and into the scorching flames when everyone else is running in the opposite direction. Y’all are the real heroes. We salute you. God bless you.”
