“Here I am sitting on this seat sharing my own story about how I had a tumour in my brain. It was so bad that I couldn’t read out of my phone anymore to the point where this eye, I couldn’t read with it and it was also closing.
“They said it is a Craniopharyngioma and we need to do surgery to remove it.”

He also disclosed that it was a neurosurgeon in Nigeria, Dr. Tayo Ojo that did the surgery.
According to him, several persons begged him to leave the country and get the surgery done but he still had trust in Nigeria and called for more investment in the country’s health sector.
“It was Dr. Tayo Ojo, a neurosurgeon here in Nigeria that did the surgery. So many people begged me to leave the country and get the surgery done but something kept me back here because I still had trust in us.
“We just need more investment in our health sector.
“Education, health. For me… those are the two systems any nation needs to succeed.
“I’m dedicating my life to seeing that they succeed in our country Nigeria. I hope you see it too.”
