that Popular music producer, Babatunde Okungbowa, popularly known as OJB
Jezreel , is dead, three years after a successful kidney transplant
surgery in India.
He was said to have died early this morning, June 14, in a Lagos
hospital, just one month to his 50th birthday.
A family source claimed that his kidney transplant failed completely
since last week.
Recall that the producer was down with kidney related disease, and
consequently was flown to India for a transplant in 2013. On October 21,
the singer successfully underwent the surgery at the Indian hospital.
After the successful surgery, OJB Jezreel , showered praises on his
first wife, Mama J, for being there for him and donating one of her
kidneys to save his life. While speaking after his arrival to the
country from India, OJB revealed that despite discouragement from family
and friends, his wife still made the crucial donation to save him, even
at the risk of her life.
While describing his wife for the voluntary donation, OJB had this to
say; “She is a wonderful person because it is one thing if God is
telling you to do something but another to do it. It takes a lot of
courage to actually do it. Just as Jesus had made the water for Peter to
walk on, Peter needed a lot of courage to take that step and that was
what she did at that dying minute. Even when the doctors came to tell
her that they would have to cut her all the way to the back and would
have to remove a rib so they could have access to the kidney, she still
agreed to go through it. It takes courage to go through with it, so, I
will say she is a courageous woman
