OJB Jezreel explains why he kept renal failure a secret, reveals he has 6-8 weeks to undergo operati

In an exclusive interview with Encomium magazine, ailing music producer OJB Jezreel spoke about his kidney problem at length.

OJB, who denied that it was caused by drinking and smoking, also revealed that he has about eight weeks, to raise the money he needs for a transplant abroad.

Full excerpts:

“When early diagnosis was done, it was just a case of renal failure. Right now, my two kidneys are gone. We are running dialysis at the moment. It started two years ago, but gradually depreciated. Most people tend to attribute kidney problem to drinking and smoking. I was told it doesn’t have anything to do with that, because as much as I drink and smoke then, it was casual drinking. Maybe they offer you a bottle of drink and all that but not like I drink 15 bottles a day. I have a friend who has gone through this and he never drank or smoked.

“The whole process of the treatment from pre-process, transplanting process and post-transplanting will cost about $100, 000. In two years I have spent up to N5million which I have been trying to maintain myself. That is why it has been kept secret.”

“God willing, I have like eight to ten weeks more to get the transplant done. It’s strange, I still walk around a little. I can’t eat much though. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial support”
