Nigerian singer, Victony has stated that he will have a fifth surgery to treat his chronic leg discomfort.
Following a near-fatal vehicle accident in 2021, he had four surgeries prior to this breakthrough.
He was confined to a wheelchair for about a year as a result of the accident, which claimed one life and damaged him.
Victony disclosed that he had been experiencing leg pain despite the prior surgery, necessitating more medical attention.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Victony said:
“My leg still hurts. I am still going to do another surgery. I’m living it. I have just accepted that experience.
“It’s what is making me who I am today. That’s my story. I don’t want to happily identify with it but it’s part of my story”.
Victony also revealed that he stayed in a coma for three to four days post-accident.
He disclosed struggling with survival guilt after learning of the accident’s fatal outcome.
Victony had earlier opened up on how his accident forced his parents to support his music career .
Victony revealed that, prior to the accident, his family viewed music merely as a hobby, given his academic excellence.
His passion for music intensified once he started university.
The accident marked a decisive moment, as his parents witnessed the huge support he received from the music community during his recovery.
He said:
“I used to do music as a hobby and everybody knew that I loved music but they didn’t think I was going to take it seriously. I was good at school so they never bothered about it and they never thought it would distract me from my education but when I got into the university, that was when I started to take it seriously
“They didn’t know I was taking it seriously until after the accident. When the accident happened, a lot of people came to the hospital and they wondered how it was possible. They soon began to realise that I had a community that was growing already and they gave me their blessings from that point.”
