The music producer and artist needs N15million for a kidney transplant in India.
OJB Jezreel gave an interview to Encomium magazine yesterday
Monday June 24th where he said he has about eight weeks left to get his
operation done. Excerpts...
"When early diagnosis was done, it was just a case of
renal failure. Right now, my two kidneys are gone. We are running dialysis at
the moment. It started two years ago, but gradually depreciated. Most people
tend to attribute kidney problem to drinking and smoking. I was told it doesn't
have anything to do with that, because as much as I drink and smoke then, it
was casual drinking. Maybe they offer you a bottle of drink and all that but
not like I drink 15 bottles a day. I have a friend who has gone through this
and he never drank or smoked.
"The
whole process of the treatment from pre-process, transplanting process and
post-transplanting will cost about $100, 000. In two years I have spent up to
N5million which I have been trying to maintain myself. That is why it has been
kept secret."
"God
willing, I have like eight to ten weeks more to get the transplant done. It's
strange, I still walk around a little. I can't eat much though. I trust God and
Nigerians for their financial support"
