Music producer and singer, Babtunde Okungbowa, popularly known as OJB Jezreel, left Nigeria for India on August 23, 2013, in the company of his wife to undergo a kidney transplant surgery.

After his successful surgery, the ace producer returned to Nigeria on November 30, and ever since, the social networks having been buzzing with news of his return as well as praises for his wife who donated a kidney for the surgery.

During an interview with HipHopWorld, he spoke about the challenges he faced during his time of need, before leaving Nigeria.

He said, “Well, there are well meaning and bitter people in Naija. Most people were just complaining and these people didn’t even donate. All the figures flying in the air then were just fake and make-belief from different angles because if we had the money we wouldn’t have the governor donate N16million.

“Lots of cheques that some people donated bounced. I don’t want to mention names and when we called them to come for their cheques they didn’t come for it. We didn’t want to talk about it in the media because it was about saving a life.”
