She suffers from a genetic condition that affects only a few numbers of people in the whole world. It causes the sufferers to suffer hair loss, dwarfism, prominent eyes, prominent veins, little flesh on their bodies, stiff joints, and other abnormalities.
Despite her condition, her family have been very supportive and even created a You Tube channel to help document her life as well as to sensitize people about the disorder.

NAIJ.com earlier reported the case of a South African girl, Ontlametse Phalatse, who also suffers from the same disease as Adalia. She was the first black person to be diagnosed with the rare disease, and she died on April 11, 2017 at 18.
The teenage girl was set to attend the birthday of the then South African president, Jacob Zuma, but sadly she died before then.
Hundreds of people, including South Africa's President Jacob Zuma, attended her funeral held in Hebron in the North West province.
Eighteen doves and balloons were released into the air in celebration of her 18 brave years, during which she defied a predicted life expectancy of 13 years.
In April 2017, the 18-year-old succumbed to lung failure and her sudden passing shook the nation. She was celebrated by many after her demise.
