Alariwo of Africa was reportedly diagnosed with a disease known as
Varicocele, which is described in medical terms as an enlargement of
veins inside the scrotum.
According to Punch, Alariwo said:
“People have been speculating about my health lately. Some reports
even said I was bedridden. This is not true. I was not bedridden and I
have never been. But it is true that I am about to undergo surgery.
I am still trying to find the right place to have it done. I have to
choose either India, Germany, Israel, England or America. I have been
taking some drugs to slow down the pain in my scrotum until I am ready
to undergo surgery. All I just need is enough funds to travel abroad and
treat it.
I have been going through a lot, these past weeks. My wife has been
in the hospital for over one month. She has been down with acute
pulmonary embolism. It has been very tough, but God has taken control.
The doctors at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital said only a few
people could survive the ailment. I am happy that she is one of them.
But her treatment has cost me quite a lot of money. I spent an
average of N54,000 everyday for about 19 days. Apart from this, I was
buying a drug called Clexin at N37,000 for her every week.
She received a total of about 96 injections altogether on her
shoulder during the period that she was undergoing treatment. And all
that while, I didn’t leave her bedside. I was with her in the hospital.”
Before his wife’s case came up, the singer added, he had planned to
raise funds and travel abroad for his own treatment. But, faced with a
bigger challenge, he had to sell his car in order to pay her medical
bills.
He went on:
“Before now, I didn’t want to talk about my health or my wife’s
illness or the challenges I have faced these past weeks. I had decided
not to make my problems known to the public for some reasons. I guess
the details were leaked through one or two friends of mine that I
whispered to and they were blown out of proportion online. I never made a
public appeal for funds nor called a press conference for that purpose.
But it is when you find yourself in a situation like this that you know
those that are your true friends. A lot of people were kind enough to
provide support during the crisis. I am talking about people like Ayo
Animashaun, Otunba Sesan Rufai and many others.”
The singer was full of praises for popular stand-up comedian, Julius
Agwu, who phoned a few days ago to surprise him with a donation of
$35,000.
He said:
“Julius is the only entertainer that has volunteered to donate the
sum of $35,000 to my cause. I was shocked when he called to say he would
give me the money. Now what I should be looking for is the balance. I
want to thank him for this wonderful gesture.”
Other friends and colleagues of the Crossover king, such as Agatha Amata
and Dayo Adeneye, have also expressed their desire to support his quest
for additional funding.
Alariwo still needs to raise some funds for his planned medical trip
abroad. He needs about $130,000 for his own treatment and for what is
left of his wife’s bills. Meanwhile, his wife is said to be getting
better and responding to treatment.
