The Nigerian music video director ThankGod, often known as TG Omori, has talked about his struggle with kidney failure.
The famous cameraman, 29, disclosed on X that he needed a kidney donation in order to survive.
Omori said that one of his kidneys was given up by his only brother. The director of the video also mentioned that the kidney transplant took place on August 26, 2024.
“Yesterday my only brother gave me one of his kidneys so I could live again,” he wrote
The video director posted images of himself resting on a hospital bed on his Instagram Stories.
In a series of posts via his Instastories, the video director shared pictures of himself lying on a hospital bed.
With tears rolling down his cheek, Omori wrote: “keep my spirit alive” and “I don’t want to die”.
Born in Cross-River state, Omori grew up in the Agungi area of Lagos state.
He started his career at age 20 after graduating from PEFTI Film Institute.
He has since worked with a plethora of artistes in Nigeria, including Olamide, Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
Last year, Omori revealed that he battled depression for a year after failing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in 2012.
He said he wrote the examination on two different occasions but was unable to pass the exam.
Omori said the pastor of the church he attended volunteered to sponsor his education because his dad was unable to pay his school fees and that of his siblings at the same time.
