It’s my birthday today, but I’m struggling to celebrate.
My friend Chukwudi Nzelu, a former Nigerian national Taekwondo athlete and champion, is fighting for his life against lung cancer.
Chukwudi once fought for Nigeria. Today, I’m asking Nigeria to fight for him.
We have funded his treatment as far as we could, but a break in treatment due to funds has seen his condition deteriorate. He needs to return to treatment urgently.
We need to raise at least ₦7 million to cover two immunotherapy injections, five radiation treatments and an extended hospital stay.
And Chukwudi became a father just last month.
His little girl deserves the chance to grow up with her father. He deserves the chance to watch her grow.
So this year, I have only one birthday wish:
Please help me keep my friend alive.
Anything helps. ₦1,000. ₦5,000. ₦10,000. And if you cannot give, please repost this until it reaches someone who can.

Target: ₦7,000,000
He fought for our flag. Now, please help us fight for him.
That is the only birthday gift I want today.
My issue w money is that when I get money after being broke for so long I want to reward myself for struggling for so long only to get to the same position I was in initially 😭
one random thing that irks me when i dress up to go out is landing on strangers’ phones in images i cant control how its shot. now im on your snap looking like an ostrich instead of the swan i looked like in my own photos.
