It’s no longer news that veteran producer and singer, OJB Jezreel had a
successful kidney surgery in India and is currently back into the
country with smiles from left to right.
The joyous producer recently had an interview with HipHop World
magazine and revealed that many cheques given to him towards his kidney
transplant were fakes.
There are well meaning and bitter people in Naija. Most people
were just complaining and these people didn’t even donate. All the
figures flying in the air then were just fake and make-belief from
different angles because if we had the money we wouldn’t have the
governor donate N16million.
Lots of cheques that some people donated bounced. I don’t want to
mention names and when we called them to come for their cheques they
didn’t come for it. We didn’t want to talk about it in the media because
it was about saving a life.
He also talks about his gratitude to his wife for donating her kidney
to him, and about the man who gave him N6m to renovate his house,
$10,000 for medical expenses and bought him a 2010 Land Rover.
About his wife, he says:
I will say she is a wonderful person because it is one thing if
God is telling you to do something but another to do it. It takes a lot
of courage to actually do it. Just as Jesus had made the water for Peter
to walk on, Peter needed a lot of courage to take that step and that
was what she did at that dying minute.
Even when the doctors came to tell her that they would have to
cut her all the way to the back and would have to remove a rib so they
could have access to the kidney and if after that you still go ahead to
do it then that is serious courage.
About the man who gave him a lot, OJB tells Encomium magazine
A man named Felix Edebor who lives in Abuja has been very
helpful. The first day he came he dropped N6million cheque, and it
really encouraged us to start the building. When we were in India he
visited us and gave us $10,000. He later started talking about my
mobility and days after he bought me a Land Rover LR 3 2010 model for
me. And I didn’t know the guy from Adam. I just feel what happened was
not human.
