There have been lots of reports on your death?
Emi ma re o (this is me). I am not dead o.
How are you feeling?
Why are you just reaching out to the public?
I didn’t want to at first because I thought it was something I could take care of. I was paying for my drugs and treatment all by myself. It is because I don’t have the capacity anymore that is making me reach out to the public. I sold my car but the money was not enough, and I became handicapped. That was when I reached out to the public for assistance.

When did the ailment start?
It was about five years ago if I am not miscalculating.
You are reaching out to the public for support but what exactly is wrong with you?
My doctor is the one in the right position to tell what the ailment is. He has been discussing with some foreign doctors on my case. I have been treated, but there is no difference. If there is money, the ailment is something that can be treated here in Nigeria. There will be no need to waste money travelling abroad for treatment.
