In a recent interview OJB Jezreel reveals all about his health
and how things have not been well with him as he seeks to secure money
for his Kidney transplant in India.
He also reveals that the doctors are telling him he has a maximum of 8 weeks left on planet earth.
Here are the full details of the exclusive interview
What is the state of your health?
The
state where we are is the state we actually need a transplant. When
early diagnosis was done it was just a case of Renal Infection. Right
now, the two kidneys are gone,but we a running dialysis at the moment.
When did you observe that you have this illness? It was two years ago,
but it was not depreciated to this level.
Then it was a gradual
process. It was just like a doctor’s prescription to control your blood
pressure level. we did all that , but having off and on experience until
it got to this stage. What would you attribute to this ailment? Most
time people tend to attribute kidney problem to drunkenness or smoking.
I was told that it doesn’t have anything to do with that, because as
much asI drink and smoke then, it was casual drinking. maybe, they offer
you a bottle of drink and all that, not that i have to drink 15 bottles
or drink all through the day.
How much do you need for a transplant?
For
transplant itself, it varies, because the procedure is $25000. The
whole process of the treatment from pre-process, transplanting and
post-transplanting will cost about $100,000. In two years I have spent
up to five million which I have been trying to maintain myself, that is
why it has been kept secret.
When are you going for the transplant?
God
willing, I have like 8 to 10 weeks more to get it done. It’s strange, i
still walk around a little. I can’t eat much again, N20 rice is even
enough. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial assistance.
We
all wish him strength to face up to this recent challenge. Please
remember his account details are: Babatunde Okungbowa. UBA – 1015075120.
