Head of fund raising committee for #SaveOJB, singer Nomoreloss has said government officials withdrew their support for OJB Jezreel due to rumoured reports that Nigerian celebrities had made up the payment for his treatment in India.
Yesterday Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim urged the handlers of the ailing producer to approach the right people for funds instead of ‘harassing celebrities for funds.’
But Nomoreloss says the hype and misinformation is affecting efforts to raise the complete money OJB needs for his treatment.
To you a GAME OF NUMBERS and HYPE but to me….A FIGHT TO SAVE A LIFE. #SaveOJB If you cannot help don’t be a distraction.

OJB Jezreel, also known as Babatunde Okungbuwa was diagnosed of a kidney condition has been soliciting for $100, 000 funds to enable him travel abroad for a transplant surgery.
Linda Ikeji blog says “there have been speculations that some celebrities have been to see OJB and made some donations. While it’s true that the likes of Don Jazzy, P-Square, Ruggedman, Mercy Johnson, Iyanya, Julius Aguw have contributed, the other names on the list that circulated today are 100% false. For instance, D’banj didn’t give N7m, Wizkid didn’t give N3m and 2face didn’t give N1.5m.”
