Ailing music producer OJB Jezreel has now come out to say that the donations going on in his name can end now. This he said because he has raised sufficient money for his operation billed to be carried out in India sometime in the month of August. The music producer and ace singer made the following statement at a recently organized press conference:

“Appreciate all those who stood by me one way or the other. I’m sincerely grateful and feel blessed that people could go miles just to make me well again. Now that I have gotten all the money needed for my medical bill, I want to officially put a stop to all forms of appeal or request in bid to save OJB. I want Nigerians to know that I have gotten the N16 million needed for my treatment. Therefore, no donation should again be made to any source in respect of the said case. I will be going for my operation by mid August”

However, the producer, singer and song writer, Babatunde Okungbowa aka OJB Jezreel, is considering starting up a foundation after his kidney transplant.

With the on-going speculations and questions on what he would do with the excess funds he incurred, from the TeamSaveOJB donations, this he had to say, the producer’s close associate and head of the fund raising committee, #Nomoreloss# told Nigerian Entertainment Today that OJB intends to help other ailing patients.

“I was with OJB at the hospital the other day and we saw a lot of people with a lot more serious problems than OJB’s. You won’t believe he was shedding tears when we saw these people, and so he asked me, dude, what do we do? And he agreed that when this is over, we may have to start a foundation so we can help others going through same problem.”

OJB is still undergoing dialysis at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and plans are still under pipeline to get the required kidney transplant sometime in August.
