Medical doctor and social media influencer Chinonso Egemba, also known as Aproko Doctor, revealed that he had a battle with a brain tumor.
On January 16, 2022, he shared on his Twitter page that he had been diagnosed with the tumor on December 5 of the previous year which had left him partially blind shortly after.
In a video shared on the social media platform, Egemba detailed his experience and the surgery he underwent. He had brain surgery done in Nigeria, performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Tayo Ojo. Egemba also expressed his belief that more investment is needed in the Nigerian healthcare sector.
Throughout December of 2022, I was fighting for my life. I went blind in one eye on the 3rd of Dec. 2022 & on the 5th, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

It was Dr. Tayo Ojo, a neurosurgeon here in Nigeria that did the surgery. So many people begged me to leave the country and get the surgery done but something kept me back here because I still had trust in us.
We just need more investment in our health sector. pic.twitter.com/ljnmac4xgJ
