Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Nigerian actress, Kemi Afolabi, has revealed her current battle with a deadly disease, Lupus.
During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Kemi Afolabi, says the doctors told her that she has only 5 years to live, but she can live longer with love from friends and family.
According to the actress, she says she spends no less than N200K to N1.2M on treatment for lupus, in order to stay alive. Out of the 5 years given to her, she has spent one year.
She says:
“I have lupus. It’s not curable. You just have to take medications for the rest of your life. At a point I was exhausted after spending so much, I said i will stop and just wait for death to come ….but I brazed up for my daughter and have to continue spending the N1.2million on the medication doze weekly to survive….I have sold my cars, property, capital for business etc…..and Funke Akindele has been helpful, Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe and others reached out and have been there…but I still need more support to be able to continue with my medication…
”Being in an industry that places high value on appearance, it’s been a struggle taking medications that helps ease the pains but affect my weight and people will constantly remind you of how fat you’ve become without hesitations.”
Chude Jideonwo wrote:
“My guest today says she doesn’t know how much longer she has to live.
“One of her doctors have told her that she has only 5 years to live – out of which she has already spent one.
Today, exclusively, actor and producer Kemi Afolabi tells me details she hasn’t shared with anybody before.
