Three days after the procedure (and upon the permission of the doctor) he took a glass of cold water and instantly started vomiting, and finally slipped into a 3-week coma.

He was rushed to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, where doctors diagnosed kidney problem occasioned by error in the appendectomy.

He was placed on several rounds of dialysis, after which he recuperated and set about to pursue his dreams.

But fate came calling again in December 2017. The kidney ailment returned and worsened until his kidneys packed up in October 2018.

After series of tests at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Kidney transplant was recommended.

Transplant at an Indian hospital will cost N13million, while transplant at St. Nicholas Hospital Lagos will cost N11million.
