ThankGod ‘TG’ Omori, the Nigerian music video director, has opened up on his battle with kidney failure.
The 29-year-old celebrity cinematographer took to X to reveal that he required a kidney transplant to be able to stay alive.
Omori said his only brother volunteered one of his kidneys. The video director added that the kidney transplant was held on August 26, 2024.
“Yesterday my only brother gave me one of his kidneys so I could live again,” he wrote.
In a series of posts via his Instastories, the video director shared pictures of himself lying on a hospital bed.
With tears rolling down his cheek, Omori wrote: “keep my spirit alive” and “I don’t want to die”.
Born in Cross-River state, Omori grew up in the Agungi area of Lagos state.
He started his career at age 20 after graduating from PEFTI Film Institute.
He has since worked with a plethora of artistes in Nigeria, including Olamide, Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
Last year, Omori revealed that he battled depression for a year after failing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in 2012.
He said he wrote the examination on two different occasions but was unable to pass the exam.
Omori said the pastor of the church he attended volunteered to sponsor his education because his dad was unable to pay his school fees and that of his siblings at the same time.
