An extraordinary ambition of a 26-
year-old designer and graduate of
Sociology from Obafemi Awolowo
University to export made-in-Nigeria
designs abroad is threatened by
kidney disease. Solomon Elusoji
writes that with N9 million for a
kidney transplant, that dream will
become a reality
Yomade Balogun is just 26 years old,
but already in a tug of war with
Death. Although she’s been brave,
even heroic – for being on the
battleground with Death for eight
years – her energy seems to be
waning. As the clock’s arms move –
tick tock, tick tock – Death seems to
be winning.
And once again, Nigeria is on the
verge of losing one of its young
minds that has shown astute
leadership skills – a trait the country
needs desperately for her great
future.
Balogun, an indigene of Ondo State,
is a graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo
University (Sociology and
Anthropology).
She is equally a chartered Personnel
Manager after sitting for and passing
the qualifying exams of the Chattered
Institute of Personnel Management.
Balogun was deployed to serve the
country in Gombe State during the
2010 Batch C NYSC scheme and she
served with pride.
Shortly after her service year, she
followed her dream to have a world-
class clothing label and to become a
top employer of labour in the country.
So her quest for creativity, innovation
and quality delivery propelled the
young Balogun to start the company
called Adornare Clothing and
Accessories, a company which has
been providing clothing and
organising training to empower young
Nigerians.
Her desire to provide out-of-the-box
products led her to start the “Made
Erratic (ME)” label. The ME label was
created to make bespoke wears for all
occasions.
Starting with just raw talent, some
formal training and a great amount of
passion, Balogun was able to channel
her energy to create an opportunity
that other young people can benefit
from.
But her dream to run a world-class
clothing and accessories company
may appear to be hitting the wall as
Balogun is currently hospitalised,
battling a kidney disease.
Many of the people that have met the
ever smiling lady before she was
hospitalised would not believe that
she has been fighting a prolonged
battle of her life since 2006.
On that day when fate struck her this
fatal blow, she woke up in her hostel
on the university campus and was
rushed to the health centre. Her body
swelled and she was held in the cold
embrace of fear. She was later
diagnosed of Alderman (a medical
condition that is characterised by
body swelling).
She was just in her second year in
the university, but was told that she
had very high cholesterol. The
information came to her as a rude
shock but for the next two years of
her life, Balogun was on medications.
Still, she graduated with distinctions.
In 2008, she became better and life
appeared to be squeezing her lemons
into lemonades. But after her national
youth service program in 2011, she
had a major health crisis that
threatened to end her dreams. But
she fought back to stay alive. She
was rushed to the Gbagada General
Hospital in Lagos, where she was
diagnosed with kidney infection.
Distressed by the diagnosis, the
strong-willed Balogun didn’t allow
the kidney infection to stop her from
chasing after her dream. She took her
medications, fought the disease and
made efforts to be a blessing to all
those around her.
But in 2012, despite her valiant efforts
to stay strong, the disease escalated
to stage four. And in search of a
better treatment, Balogun was taken
to the Ekiti State Hospital where she
continued the battle of her life.
After an entire month in bed, she
started to show signs of recovery.
But the cost of transport and the
difficulty associated with travelling
from Lagos to Ekiti for hospital visits
necessitated a transfer to the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
So the fight continued and the
doctors in LUTH struggled to manage
the disease. But soon, another
tragedy struck. The doctors at LUTH
went on strike. She was then taken to
Gbagada General Hospital. While at
the hospital, she went through a
series of test and treatment after
which she was advised to undergo a
kidney transplant immediately, if she
wanted to stay alive.
According to one of her schoolmates
back at OAU, Peter Okolie, “Yomade
has always dedicated herself to being
a blessing to those around her.”
In the last eight years, she has been
in and out of hospitals and has had
to take more medications than most
people would take all through their
life.
Despite all these, Balogun continues
to wear a smile and believes that the
fight is not over until she wins over
the disease.
Currently, she is presently
undergoing dialysis twice a week at
the Gbagada General Hospital and
Clinix Health Care, under the
supervision of Dr Busari with hospital
no 210770. The cost of the bi-weekly
dialysis is very heavy and the dialysis
is not a permanent treatment for the
disease.
Tragically, Balogun lost her father to
an auto-accident on the 20th of
March 1992 (22 years ago) and the
responsibility for her medical bills
and care has been handled only by
her mother.
As it stands, the recommend
treatment is a kidney transplant. The
cost projection for the kidney
transplant according to St Nicholas
Hospital is about N9 million, which
her mother, a civil servant with
Somolu-Bariga Local Government in
Lagos State cannot afford.
All those that have met Balogun
would attest to the fact that she is a
promising young lady that is a
beacon of hope to this generation.
She has always put the interest of
others before her own. She has
always looked at the best in other
people and she has a tender
compassionate heart. Even through
her health challenges she has always
found opportunities to be a blessing
to those around her. “Posterity would
hold us accountable if we allow her
light to go out simply because we
chose to fold our hands when we
could lend a helping hand,” said
Okolie.

“Nothing is too small, every
assistance is appreciated. I want to
live to fulfil my dream. Now, I need
well-meaning Nigerians to save me
from dying,’ Balogun said, expressing
faith in her countrymen.
“Balogun Yomade needs N9 million
for the kidney transplant, if she must
stay alive to be a blessing to this
generation. She’s is an extremely nice
person. Despite the fact that she’s on
a sick bed, she keeps encouraging us
and telling us she would not die. If
she dies without help, it will send a
wrong signal to the rest of the world
about us as a country,” said Balogun
Adebimpe, her sister.

He Will Neither Leave Nor Forsake You
Psalm 37:28; Matthew 28:20

Hebrews 13:5 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."" One of the greatest fears that have plagued the human race is the fear of loneliness. People are afraid to be left alone without anyone committing to them in love to bear their burdens. Many enter into wrong relationships for the fear of being lonely. However, God has given unto us His ever present presence. This is worth more than heaven and earth. The Believer does not have to think of a possible moment of being lonely. Even in the face of daunting situations and circumstances, you must remember God's Word to you. Hebrews 13:5 says,"…I will never leave you nor forsake you""; and again in Matthew 28:20 the Word declares,"…Lo, I am with you."" God is with you, now and forever. God's presence with us guarantees constant success on every ground of life's combats. We are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us. Every resource of heaven is at our reach because God is with us. We have the final say in all matters of life because God is with us. Beloved, do not shiver or quiver, because God is with you, and He will always put you on top of every situation you face in life. Remind yourself that God is with you and therefore you are not alone, and because of His sure presence you can leap over every challenging situation in life and reach your ultimate goal. Be not afraid, for God will never leave nor forsake you.

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Psalm 94:14; Isaiah 64:4

Let God's Word Dwell In You Richly
Colossians 3:16; John 15:7
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in
all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing with grace in your hearts to
the Lord."Col. 3:16 God wants our lives to be
filled with His Word. He wants everything
we do to stem from His Word. This can only
be possible when our hearts are filled and
saturated with the Word. The heart of man
is the centre of his being from which every
thought and action emanates
(Matt.12:34-35). Whatever fills your heart
will find expression in your thoughts and
your actions. The actions you take end up
shaping the course of your life. But it all
begins from the heart, this is why Proverbs
4:23 says to "Keep thy heart with all
diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
We have to watch what we allow have
access to our hearts, this is why we are
admonished to let the Word of Christ dwell
in us richly. When God's Word dwells in us
richly then our thoughts and actions will
naturally be in line with His Word. Success is
the result of living by God's Word. Notice
that the Word is to dwell in us richly, not
sparsely. This means that the Word is to
dwell in us abundantly. How do you fill your
heart with God's Word? By doing what God
said to Joshua in Joshua 1:8, speaking the
Word to yourself constantly. With your
tongue you can write God's Word on your
heart. When God's Word fills your heart,
acting on it will be the most natural thing to
do. Beloved, God's Word ought to be your
abundant treasure. You ought to be
abundantly rich in God's Word so much that
there will be an overflow from you unto
others around you. You see, you can be so
rich in God's Word that you become a
teacher of the Word, admonishing and
encouraging the brethren. Let the Word of
Christ dwell in you richly.
Other Scriptures for Meditation: Prov.
4:20-22; Psa. 119:9-11
My Solid Front (Confession)
Heavenly Father, I allow Your Word dwell in
me abundantly today and always in Jesus'
Name. I give Your Word room to work in me
all Your good pleasure in the Name of Jesus.
Amen
