Popular Nigerian music video director, TG Omori, has revealed the overwhelming cost of managing his health, describing how much he has spent on treatment over the past six months.
The award-winning cinematographer, who has been battling kidney disease, shared his experience on social media, explaining that his medical bills in just half a year could have easily purchased multiple luxury cars.
He wrote: “Saw my 6 months health expenses, Omo 2 GLE and one small C300 bro! Health is wealth true true.”
Omori further reflected on the financial strain of dialysis, comparing its cost to Nigeria’s minimum wage.
“Dialysis is about 100k plus per session, sometimes you need 3 sessions in a week, minimum wage is 70k. Knowing these facts brought me tears in the hospital cause no hope for the common man,” he said.
The director disclosed that he is channelling his creativity into a project aimed at supporting kidney patients who cannot afford treatment.
“I’m working on my first major glasses design that will be up on sale soon where some of the proceeds will go to people living with kidney diseases that can’t afford to pay for their dialysis,” he added.
