On this day, 20 years ago, Nigerian singer Yinka Ayefele was involved in a car crash involving his blue Volkswagen Beetle that left his spinal cord damaged.

Before his accident, he had a thriving career in broadcasting but the car crash changed the course of his life.  He took time to appreciate God for his life and sustenance.

Reminiscing about the day, the singer wrote

“Exactly 20years Today, 12th of December 1997 my turning point. Glory be to God almighty for his love and kindness over my life from the past 20 years since I had that accident. It was indeed my turning point.

” I am grateful to you lord for making me a living testimony and I sincerely say a big thank you to all my fans all over the world for your unflinching support for the past 20 years. Whereever you are, please acknowledge God on my behalf”
