| 35-year-old Oladele Obikoya needs N8m to fight kidney failure |
Thirty five-year-old, Oladele Obikoya, is sick and needs the assistance of kind-hearted Nigerians.
Doctors say his two kidneys have failed and that he needs a kidney transplant.
That news is the worst he will get considering that he is planning to wed his lover of many years this November.
He narrates, “My hope of being a different youth is crashing. I have
been living in South Africa for the past seven years, selling scrap
items to factories where they are useful.
“One day, I returned from work and felt that something was wrong with
my body. I felt very weak, which was something I had never felt before.
“I decided to visit the hospital, but before I knew what was going
wrong, I collapsed and friends had to rush me to the hospital. It was
after some tests that doctors told me my two kidneys had failed.
“If it were one kidney that failed, I would have been okay, but they
told me both had failed me. I am weak now, I am afraid I may not be able
to fulfill my dreams again.”
Since the discovery that his kidneys has failed, Obikoya says he has spent his entire savings on dialysis and medication.
He adds, “Before, I used to spend the South African equivalent of
N100,000 on dialysis alone every 72 hours, but I cannot sustain that
again. I have spent all my savings which I planned to use for my wedding
by November.”
Because he could only utter a few words to our correspondent due to the ailment, his younger brother, Sola, helped him out.
But doctors say, dialysis will not work for him for long. According
to them, he will die if he does not do the ‘right’ thing – which is to
undergo a kidney transplant in an Indian hospital. The operation, they
say, will cost N8m. That includes, cost of transplant, travelling
expenses and medication.
Right now, Obikoya can barely walk and speak and so he is calling on
Nigerians to come to his aid to raise the money for the surgery.
