OJB’s third wife, Korede Okongbowa, has opened up on why she could not donate a kidney to save her ailing husband, OJB. Obviously in a happy mood that he survived at last, Korede said she could have donated her own kidney but as at the time the issue of transplant came up, she had just given birth.

“I’m a perfect match for him but I had a baby a month before the transplant issue came up, so they had to exclude me because I had surgery during the childbirth. That’s the reason I didn’t donate. In fact, the kidneys of all his three wives quite matched his own. But for the surgery I had while giving birth to my baby, I would have donated my kidney without thinking about it; he is my husband after all.”

The biggest twist in the tale, however, is that of the alleged donations by some entertainers. While it has been widely publicised that some entertainers have donated money, OJB’s fundraising campaigners have said they didn’t donate and that their refusal to refute the rumours is making other possible helpers back off.

OJB responds to Juliet Ibrahim's query on raising $100k for kidney transplant

Last week, Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim posted a message on her instagram page saying kidney transplant does not cost more than $50k and wondered why people raising funds for OJB were requesting for $100, 000. Well, OJB has responded to that.

The ailing music producer and singer told Encomium mag...

"The mistake she's making is that it depends on the hospital you are going to in India. She says she runs a foundation, they might give her a rebate. The procedure itself is $55, 000. When you take out $55, 000, you are left with $45, 000. What about the running cost of the procedure? You don't go to India only to come back and start asking for help again. At least, I need some money to maintain myself for the next one year. So when you factor in all these costs, add air tickets and lodging, you will appreciate what we are talking about.
