Last week, the Nigerian
entertainment industry and indeed, the whole of the country had its core
shaken, as we received news that legendary music producer, singer, and songwriterOJB Jezreel had been diagnosed with
renal failure leading to the loss of both kidneys. The renowned producer who is
responsible for the production of a slew of internationally acclaimed hit songs
and has been directly involved in the success stories of a number of Nigeria’s
biggest artistes such as TuFace Idibiaand
Wizkid, is currently on dialysis and
needs a life-saving kidney transplant – the cost of which has been estimated at
N16 million.
Encouraged by the outpouring of
love and support from the Nigerian public Concerned Friends of OJB with the
consent of OJB and his management have decided to hold a fund-raising get
together to act as an additional avenue to see that the needed funds are raised
to save the music industry pioneer and legendary producer’s life.
