Veteran and legendary music producer, OJB Jezreel in 2013 announced that his two kidneys had stopped working and needed N17m to undergo a successful transplant in India.
\u00a0
He said \u201cGod willing, I have like eight to ten weeks more to get the transplant done. It\u2019s strange, I still walk around a little. I can\u2019t eat much though. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial support\u201d
\u00a0
This news shocked the music world with the understanding that OJB Jezreel has limited time to live if funds cannot be raised for the kidney transplant.
\u00a0
As a matter of life and death, donations started from different quarters of the country but a lot of Nigerian artistes, especially those he worked with weren\u2019t coming out to donate.
\u00a0
They were reports that certain celebrities had donated towards OJB\u2019s surgery which later turned out to be false. It was reported that pop star D\u2019banj donated seven million Naira and Wizkid donated one million Naira but those claims were later refuted by OJB\u2019s camp.
\u00a0
A lot of Nigerians wondered why so many A list artistes were not coming out to support the award winning producer.\u00a0 Afterwards, there was outrage on the social media which made some Nigerian celebrities to lend their hand of support to OJB Jezreel.
\u00a0
Some of the celebrities that donated were Julius Agwu, Ruggedman, Psquare, DJ Jimmy Jatt,\u00a0 Don Jazzy, Dele Momodu, Mercy Johnson, amongst others.
\u00a0
Rotimi\u00a0 Ameach, the then Governor of River State supported OJB with a sum of $100,000 which was N16m back then. It was the life booster for OJB.
\u00a0
In August 2013, OJB Jezreel travelled to India and had a successful kidney transplant, with his wife, Mabel as the donor of the kidney. After returning to the country, OJB Jezreel joined his colleagues in the industry to continue the music business.
\u00a0
However, the quest won\u2019t last long as the Pretete crooner continued to battle kidney\u00a0 problems which many attributed to the complications from the kidney transplant surgery he had about two years ago.
\u00a0
Sources revealed that OJB had a relapse about two weeks ago and had to be placed on dialysis but situation worsened on Monday leading to his death in the early hours of Tuesday July 14, 2016.
\u00a0
The late music producer\u2019s body was immediately deposited in a morgue at the General Hospital, Isolo, Lagos. He is survived by three wives, Mabel, June and Korede, and eight children.
