Popular Nigerian music video director TG Omori has shared details of his challenging kidney transplant experience, revealing that his brother donated a kidney to him which later turned out not to be a match.

He said the transplant was initially deemed successful, only for doctors to later discover that his body was rejecting the organ.

“My brother gave me his kidney after it took us nine months of struggle to find a donor. After the transplant was successful, the doctor told me it wasn’t a match and my body wasn’t accepting it.”
“The doctor tried again, but it wasn’t responding. So, they had to take me back to the operation theatre to remove it, and I went back on dialysis so I could heal,” he reflected.
According to the cinematographer, he had to wait another six months before his family found a compatible donor for a second transplant.
He explained that the second surgery was successful, but left his brother with just one kidney.
“After waiting for another six months, we had to find another donor that could match before it turned out successful. Now, my brother has to live with only one kidney,” he added.
