Kidney Failure Not A Death Sentence – Jimmy Jatt ….Shares Kidney Transplant Experience
A popular disk jockey, Oluwaforijimi Adewale Amu popularly known as DJ Jimmy Jatt, has counselled that kidney failure was not a death sentence as many would want people to believe.
Speaking on the channels television programme, Rubbin Minds, the veteran DJ who started disk jockey more than 40 years ago in 1984, said, though it has become an all comers affairs, that should not discourage those who have flair for it.
Jimmy Jatt says when his health crisis started from a diabetes which he inherited.
He said; ” Initially, it started from my eye, and after an operation, it was restored. Thereafter, I travelled to the United States of America, where I was diagnosed with acute kidney problems, which means the kidney has failed.
” I was on dialysis there before I returned to Nigeria for the transplant. And now , I’m fit as fiddle. I think those who went through this process should share their stories so that people would know that kidney transplant is not a death sentence.”
On the Disk Jockey becomes an all comers affairs, Jimmy Jatt says that notwithstanding, he’ll continue to do what he likes doing best until he’s no longer able to do it.
“Yeah, it’s becoming an all comers affairs, but I think those of us who have it should continue. Initially, not many people want their offsprings to do it, especially as full-time work. But that is changing now. Just like football, many people wanted to have disk jockey in their families.”
