Nigerians hail Aproko Doctor’s neurosurgeon, Dr. Tayo Ojo
Nigerians have showered praises on Dr. Tayo Ojo, the neurosurgeon who performed brain surgery for popular Nigerian influencer, Dr Chinonso Egemba better known as Aproko Doctor.
The online health influencer had earlier on Monday shared his experience on how he battled with a brain tumour in December 2022.
Narrating his ordeal with the life-threatening ailment, Aproko Doctor attributed his recovery to the efforts of Dr. Ojo.
“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,” he captioned a photo of the doctor.
Like flies to dung, Nigerians have since flooded social media to hail Dr. Ojo, sharing how he saved their lives or those of their relatives.
B Emmanuel tweeted his encounter with Dr Ojo, saying, “I am a neurofibromatosis patient. He did a spine surgery for me too at LUTH. He also assist(ed) Dr Ugboro in doing a skin-grafting surgery of the foot for me. I so much love that man.”
An Instagram user, Jane Michael, said, “This is the doctor that saved my mum from brain tumour in LUTH.”
Favouritethings tweeted, “Dr. Ojo is the angel that saved my life from brain aneurysm in September 2022 too. Such a kind man. I was already bleeding into my brain before I got to LUTH on 9/9/2022. Here I am, recovering and grateful to be alive. Nigeria has hope if we can support our doctors.”
Sola Baloo tweeted, “Wow! Same Dr Tayo Ojo did my father’s brain surgery in 2019, and my old man is doing just great.”
