Ace music video director, ThankGod Omori Jesam, TG Omori, has lamented the prohibitive cost of dialysis in Nigeria, describing it as a hopeless situation for the common man.
In a post on X, Omori expressed his sadness over how a single dialysis session costs over ₦100,000, with some patients requiring at least three sessions weekly. He compared this to the national minimum wage of ₦70,000, questioning how ordinary Nigerians could ever afford such life-saving care.
“Dialysis is about 100k plus per session, sometimes you need 3 sessions in a week, minimum wage is 70k. Knowing this fact brought me tears in the hospital cause no hope for the common man.”
Recall that Omori, who underwent a failed kidney transplant in 2024, had previously revealed that his brother donated a kidney to save him back then.
The 30-year-old’s post sparked debate online, with many Nigerians sharing their frustrations about the state of the country’s healthcare system, and others comparing Nigeria to other countries
