T. G. Omori; The Burden & Complications Of Kidney Failure( A Heartfelt Appeal) by Racoon(op): 5:23am On Aug 30, 2024
Please Pray for TG Omori.
He has battled kidney failure for 1year.His only brother donated a kidney for him and the transplant kidney didn’t work for him. He will have to continue dialysis until he gets another kidney. Most people with kidney failure need 2-3 dialysis sessions per week for them to stay alive.

In Nigeria today, Dialysis is about 80k per session. That’s about 240k a week and 960k a month. This is apart from many miscellaneous expenses that keep coming along. I have not talked about money he will spend on medication and other health expenses he will have in between dialysis. So essentially we are talking about roughly 1.5-2million naira PER MONTH for the person with kidney failure to live optimally on dialysis and stay alive.

Abroad in the UK, Dialysis done privately is about £300 per session. So this is a no-brainer except you are a millionaire in pounds. Patients with kidney failure need regular dialysis to do the work of their failed kidneys. Dialysis do NOT cure the failed kidneys, it only buys the patient time until they find a donor kidney. If they never find a donor kidney, Or they find a donor kidney and the procedure fails or their body rejects it,They have to continue dialysis or they may die if they run out of money to continue the dialysis.

I know people personally who had to sell land, sell houses, sell assets, sell jewelleries, and eventually died from the expenses of dialysis and kidney failure. It is an unfortunate and a very cruel unkind medical condition that will eventually kill its victims if they never find a donor with a kidney that works or if they are unable to afford regular dialysis on a longterm.

I take my time to say all of this: To explain to you how financially draining kidney failure is and why we must all be aware of it to prevent it and live healthier longer lives. How to know someone has kidney failure:
-1). They may have swollen face, legs or arms.
-2). They may have nausea or vomiting.
-3). They may have generalised body itching.
-4). They may have uncontrolled blood pressure problems


If you, your loved one or your family member has any of the mentioned symptoms, please see a doctor and get a comprehensive medical check up. Before the kidneys finally pack up and fail completely, there are usually simple signs that the body gives (which are what I mentioned above here).

How To Prevent Kidney Failure:
-1). Monitor your blood pressure yearly,
-2). Monitor your blood sugar yearly,
-3). Keep your weight under control,
-4). Avoid excess alcohol use,
-5). Stop smoking- of any kind,
-6). Drink 2-3litres of water everyday,
-7). Avoid using/injecting any hard drugs.
-8 ). Stay away from unregulated street herbal drinks.
-9). Get yearly medical checks if you have people in your family with kidney failure.


Sometimes a person may develop kidney failure even when they have done absolutely nothing wrong. So pls don’t assume that having kidney failure is the person’s fault. Sometimes it may purely be as a result of a genetic disorder or an inherited medical condition.

Except you have lost a loved one to kidney failure or you have seen firsthand the trauma, the pain, the loss and the unspeakable suffering that kidney failure can cause, you may never truly understand how very important this message here is.

And as for the donated kidney: No, it cannot be returned to the donor, if the recipient’s system rejects it. Because usually it would have spent time in the system of the recipient and will most likely be unsuitable for re-transplantation into anybody else. This sad reality only adds more to the pain and the torture of the whole process both for the recipient and the donor.

On a final note: Please pray for TG Omori. You may not have money to give him. You may not have a kidney to give him.But please say a prayer for him if you can. There’s a really long road ahead for him. And may God stand by him in this very difficult time.

SUMMARY: Protect your kidneys jealously by practicing health lifestyles, avoiding the risk factors and doing regular health checkups if there is iota of family risk.

This is simply because the wahala following kidney failure is too much a burden that is draining financially, emotionally, physically and above all, spiritually. God help us all.

T.G. Omori føolishness is inherently ingrained in his DNA. When he tweeted that his only brother donated a kidney to him , I thought that the transplant was already successfully and he was out of the theatre probably healed completely before he tweeted that. I didn't know that he never started the surgery journey yet, but he fóolishly announced it to the whole world.

I know maybe, he's one of those woke people that doesn't believe in village people syndrome , even me I don't believe on that too. But learn to keep your mouth shut untill you succeed in your journey.

This also goes to pregnant women that litters social media with their pregnancy pictures. Not every trend you should join as most people head have gone with this very trend. One stroke of cane, they say is enough for the wise.

My prayer goes to him.

Not just him alone , but also to all that are going through one health issue or another.
It is never easy having health challenges. It diminishes ones quality of life no matter how financially capable the person is.

I have seen what health issues can do to loved ones first hand and I never wish anyone to go through that path. Look at what kidney failure did to the Ekweremadu family. cry

Above all, periodic check up is a huge step to for stalling most of this ailments.

May God heal the sick.

There's the trend of seeking public validation for personal issues nowadays. Pathetic.

Anybody can come down with kidney failure, however certain lifestyle can increase one's chance of developing one.

Most alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks we have in nigeria are either substandard or fake. Even your regular drugs too. Plus other unhealthy lifestyle.

Don't forget, Nigeria has no Healthcare. Plus,money nor dey.

Don't joke with your organs.

Pele. But don't even mention 'offer him money' in any write up. He has money.

We can only offer him prayers and encouragement and by God's grace he will survive.

But why was he even all over the Internet broadcasting the matter as if it was already successful? May God heal him.

It's not a case of village people; it's about the hospital. I doubt they checked if the kidneys were a match before the transplant.

In the last 20 years, three of my relatives suffered from kidney failure, and only one survived. The survivor lives in Europe, where dialysis and transplants are completely covered by the government. It took him nearly three years to find a matching kidney. The other two, who were in Nigeria, passed away due to the inability to afford dialysis.

The day government put an outright ban on all these big bottles that parade themselves as alcohol, the better it will be for this country..


I don't take alcohol but jedi jedi is not my favorite... Me from a poor family, where will I be able to get such amount from having known that this act of drinking has future consequences.. I dey beg my brothers who are into this to minimize their intake because it doesn't make you less a man..

From kidney stone to whatever, please help yourself because everyone around still want you around..

God help TG

For y'all in Nigeria avoid all those nonsense bitters y'all take.
Chief priest introduced one bitters for y'all to be consuming, and in honest truth he himself don't take it. Even if he pretends to be drinking he hardly gulps up that small bottle. Man takes certified liquors not her bally brewed bitters that's gon fück up ya kidney.

Secondly for y'all knackers that drink rubbish to impress a hoe, am sorry for y'all.

In summary, avoid Nigerian brewed herbal bitters, if u want something medicinal, go for Korean ginseng liquors. It's allover the stores and am sure u can find them in big stores in Nigeria as well.

Avoid Nigerian brewed bitters, these big men that own them don't take them, they just wanna have ya money and fück ya kidney up. Kidney problems was alien until the introduction of all these bitters.

A word is enough for the wise.
