“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.
“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.
“Education, health. For me… those are the two systems any nation needs to succeed.
“I’m dedicating my life to seeing that they succeed in our country Nigeria.
“I hope you see it too.”
