been in the news since his
successful surgery. We all heard
how it was his current wife that
gave him her kidney.
Now it is time to hear from the
horse’s mouth.
OJB’s wife was asked in a interview
by Punch why she gave OJB, her
husband of 20 years her kidney, his
first wife Mabel said: -
I did not even think twice about it,
I had it and I gave it to him. He is
my husband, the father of our
children and I love him. This is
somebody I have been with all my
life. I did not tell anybody before I
decided to, not even my parents
because I had foreseen their
reaction. There was no reason to
inform them. When I married him, I
told God I wanted the both of us to
grow old together and live to see
many generations. I am sure God
knew this situation before he
brought us together because not
only am I a match for him, we
are the same blood group and we
are both stubborn.
OJB replies below
OJB: A major illness can break a
home. Sometimes, instead of one
partner seeing the other
through the period of sickness, they
would rather walk away. It could be
draining them
psychologically, financially or both.
When you talk more as a couple,
you create that atmosphere where
you can actually share what you feel
about the situation. I did not want
anybody to donate an organ for me
and I was very stubborn about it. I
thought I was going to come out of
the situation without a transplant. I
was ready to go through any
other route to make it happen.
Above every other thing, I have
always believed in the God factor
and that is what has kept us going
because Nigerians are very sceptical.
