“Today makes it one month post kidney transplant surgery and I am doing very fine,” he added.
“So filled with gratitude, thanksgiving and joy because God gave me a new lease of life which led me to launch my foundation which will be spreading awareness on kidney and doing my bit of humanity for those suffering from kidney disease.
“I hope this inspires someone out there to go check their kidney function today ✌🏾I AM FREE!!!
This announcement coincides with the recovery of ThankGod ‘TG’ Omori Jesam, a Nigerian music video director, following a failed kidney transplant.
