Ugandan Woman Claims She Died, Went to Heaven and Resurrected to Tell Her Story — But Some People Doubt Her

Ugandan Woman Claims She Died, Went to Heaven and Resurrected – but some Ugandans are like the doubting Thomases – they believe that God is not capable of bringing someone back to life.

The group of doubting Thomases also seem to believe that God is incapable of giving someone a glimpse of heaven, and that the idea of heaven is fiction. But this Ugandan woman who claims she died, went to heaven and resurrected to tell her story is boldly doing that: telling it as she saw it.

Aidah Nakasujja Nsereko is a name a good number of Ugandan Pentecostals (bornagains or Balokole) might have heard before.

Nakasujja’s story dates back to 2006 when she was in her early 20s. Then, she worked at a salon in Kasubi and fellowshipped at Namirembe Christian Fellowship pastored by Simeone Kayiwa.

She says she used to frequent different churches, attending night prayers.

Then one day, while she had gone to work, she felt unwell and those she had in the salon were certain she was dead. They attempted to take her to Mengo Hospital but ended up taking her body to Pastor Kayiwa since the driver wanted them to get the body out of the car.

Aidah Nakasujja narrated how she got out of her body, and was surprised to learn that there were two ‘people’ in her: the physical and spiritual.

She talks of the world being seen as the ‘danger zone,” how angels carried her, the kitchen and other interesting things that some people online are doubting.

Leading the online charge against Aidah Nakasujja Nsereko’s testimony is former NTV Uganda journalist Andrew Kyamagero who claims it is all foolery.

They seem to argue that whatever they don’t know, understand or believe does not exist and is false or ‘acting.’

The Kyamagero gang are spewing their dislike of the Balokole, a growing faith in Uganda, whose members have crossed from the Catholic and Anglican Churches as well as other religions in the past decade.

According to 2024 census figures, while the number of Catholics and Protestants – as a proportion of the total population – reduced in the past 10 years, while that of Balokole increased. (See Details Here).

Members of the other faiths find the Balokole an easier target, criticizing their pastors. Sometimes, the criticism is constructive and against rogue and false prophets and ministers – at least according to scriptures. (See related reporting Here and There).

But the pro-Nakasujja group argues that they may not necessarily understand spiritual things with the flesh as Apostle Paul writes in I Corinthians 2:14: “The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.” (NIV).
