Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has opened up about a terrifying health scare that nearly cost him his life during a tonsil surgery.
The artiste revealed that the medical procedure took place around the time he released his hit single “Declan Rice.”
What was meant to be a simple surgery to remove his tonsils reportedly turned into a serious emergency that lasted several hours.
According to the rapper, the operation, which was supposed to take about 30 minutes, unexpectedly stretched into five hours due to complications.
Fortunately, another doctor who was usually far from the hospital happened to be nearby and quickly came to assist, helping to save his life.
After the procedure, Odumodublvck said he struggled with fear and uncertainty, believing he might not survive.
He recalled how he expressed this fear to his 71-year-old mother before eventually recovering.
He said in a viral video: “That’s so crazy because I thought I was going to d!e. That’s so crazy. When I dropped Declan Rice, that’s when I did the surgery. I took out my tonsils. I don’t have tonsils, and when I did the surgery the first time, this is the first time I’m saying this on camera.
“Surgery of 20 minutes or 30 minutes took five hours. The guy that was doing the surgery said that in 12 years of doing that surgery, he has never asked for help. But that day, he asked for help, and the guy he asked was staying one hour away.
“But that day when he called, he was two minutes away at the filling station. He just came in , even the hospital did not know he came in. He came like an angel and went. When the surgery was done, I thought I was actually going to d!e. I was telling my mother that I’m not going to make it.”
Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has revealed that Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, donated ₦20 million to support her charity initiative.
This comes a day after the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC/KAI) apprehended her for allegedly violating environmental laws.
Recall that the actress was apprehended on Thursday during a charity cooking outreach in the Admiralty area of Lekki Phase 1.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, stated that Ms Martins breached ‘objective four’ of the LAGESC/KAI Law on street vending, which prohibits the sale or preparation of food on roads or pavements.
In a video posted on her Instagram page on Friday, Ms Martins revealed that Mr Tinubu rewarded her financially and encouraged her to expand her charitable initiative.
A woman featured in the video was seen presenting an envelope containing N20 million to Ms Martins, explaining that Mr Tinubu admired the actress’s humanitarian efforts and wanted her to secure a proper shop for public safety and sustainability.
“He said you will be able to get a shop with this, where you can continue to harness your cooking skills and scale your production. He also said that when you get a shop, he’ll be responsible for equipping it with suitable industrial equipment. So this is just for you to get the shop.
“This is just to support what you do. This is to encourage you to pursue your passion. He watches you, follows you, and sees all that you do. And this is to encourage you to come to the big lane. The development needs a reputation,” she noted.
Ms Martins said the gesture extended to her would go a long way towards putting smiles on the faces of street children.
She said: “From disgrace to grace. From the office of the President, our philanthropic youth leader, Mr Seyi Tinubu, just supported my NGO with N20 million. Nigerians, please help me say thank you to him. He didn’t only give me N20 million. He also promised to take my free food charity outreach to the next level on behalf of the Golden Heart Foundation. I am beyond grateful, sir. And my beautiful Queen, Dr Bea, thank you for everything. We are in this together.
“Forward ever! Cheers to the next level. I am short of words. I am literally speechless. God bless you. God will surely continue to water every area of your life. You will go, succeed, and excel where others go and fail. Thank you for teaming up with me to continually put smiles on the faces of the vulnerable and homeless people through this.”
The actress explained that her decision to cook on the streets was driven by a desire to bring smiles to the faces of families who wake up each day uncertain of their next meal.
She said, “I just love humanity, so I feel like the best way I can help Nigeria support what the government is already doing is to put smiles on the faces of the people constantly, those who wake up without having hope of where their next meal will come from.
“So I said, let me be the hope for them, like someone waking up and knowing there is food somewhere for them to eat for free. That was the intention behind my motive. And for you to key into this.”
The Imo-born actress began acting in 2004 but gained recognition for her charitable street cooking initiative.
She’s known for movies like “The Widows,” “Dangerous Mad Man,” “The Gods Are Wise,” “Family Lies,” and “Feast of the Spirits,” among others.
Nollywood actress Bukunmi Oluwasina has called the popular slogan “women supporting women” a scam.
The mother of one said most female solidarity in the film industry is not genuine.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Pidgin, the actress disclosed that in Nollywood, the idea of women supporting each other rarely lasts.
According to her, though some women show support publicly, many do not truly stand by one another when it matters most.
Oluwasina said that women often find it easier to assist men than their fellow women.
She explained that some women would lend money to men to start businesses, but hesitate to do the same for another woman.
She said she does not blame anyone for this attitude but believes it reflects a deeper issue among women.
The actress added that the problem is not limited to Nollywood, as the same pattern is visible in other spaces.
She said that while some people claim that women uplift each other, in reality, the support is often fake or short-lived.
Oluwasina also pointed out that there are hardworking women in the entertainment industry who succeed without sponsors.
However, she lamented that the efforts of such women are often downplayed because others hide under their achievements and make it seem as though every successful woman has a sponsor.
She said: “You know say women supporting women for Nollywood na scam. “E no dey always long. Even if they support each other, we know how e dey, but we dey see the men and dem dey do am. Everybody know say woman enemy na fellow woman.
“If you follow one woman talk, you go hear them talk say dem fit borrow man money make e start business, but to borrow fellow woman money make she start business e dey always hard. I no know how the thing dey like that. I no fault anybody, but e just dey.
“No be only for Nollywood. Women supporting women at some point, you go just see am. Even if dem talk say e dey happen, you go feel am say na scam.
“E no dey happen, and even if e happen, sometimes e no dey genuine.
“Women dey industry wey no get sponsor, dem dey do the work, the work dey show, we know dem, we see dem and their work. But na other people wey dey under their shadow dey use am run their thing, dey water down those women effort, making it look like everybody get sponsor.”

Funke Akindele has revealed that her new movie, Behind The Scenes, was inspired by a divine instruction that completely altered her original production plans.
During the FilmOne end-of-year exhibitor showcase, the acclaimed filmmaker revealed that she had initially planned to work on the sequel to ‘A Tribe Called Judah’ and had already begun rehearsals and negotiations before being spiritually led to make a different film.
The 38-year-old award-winning movie producer said that despite attempting four other scripts and exploring potential collaborations, she continued to receive divine instructions to set them aside.
Akindele said the idea for ‘Behind The Scenes’ was born from a single moment of inspiration, which she described as “deeply relatable and reflective of what many people experience in real life”.
“We weren’t supposed to release ‘Behind The Scenes’. I actually wanted to release ‘A Tribe Called Judah 2’. We’d even started rehearsals, negotiations, you know, training. But the Spirit of God kept telling me, ‘No, you will not shoot that film,’” she said.
“We tried, we tried almost four other scripts, lovely scripts, and the Spirit of God said, ‘You are joking’. We even wanted to partner with someone, a fantastic actor and filmmaker, but the Spirit of God said, ‘You’re wasting your time. You will shoot this film.’
“And the idea just came from one scene, and I said, ‘This is relatable’. A lot of people are going through what is happening in this film, what is going to happen, what you’re going to see in this movie.”
‘Behind The Scenes’, which stars Tobi Bakare, Veeiye, Uzor Arukwe, Ini Dima-Okojie, and Ibrahim Chatta, is set to hit cinemas nationwide on December 12.
