<p>He captioned the video with,&nbsp;<em> "Throughout December of 2022, I was fighting for my life. I went blind in one eye on the 3rd of Dec. 2022 &amp; on the 5th, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Today I stand here before you to share my story. It has been a long road to recovery but each day is better than the last."</em></p>

<p><em>"It was Dr. Tayo Ojo, a neurosurgeon here in Nigeria that did the surgery. So many people begged me to leave the country and get the surgery done but something kept me back here because I still had trust in us. We just need more investment in our health sector," </em>he wrote.</p>
