Again, Femi Otedola to foot ailing Sadiq Daba’s medical bill

July 22,2019
Share:

Entrepreneur and philanthropist, Femi Otedola has decided to pick over the medical bills of ailing veteran broadcaster and actor, Sadiq Daba.

In fact, the actor has been visited and arrangements are being made to support him.
Otedola’s help is coming about a week after recuperating former Nigerian international, Christian Chukwu, described Otedola as next to God after offsetting his medical bill.
Daba had been sick but bounced bak some two years ago.
But his health has failed again, landing him in a critical condition at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
But Otedola said in a statement on Sunday that he was prepared to take charge.
The statement:

“I heard about Mr. Sadiq Daba’s health condition when it was brought to my attention through an online news story I read two days ago. I was saddened to hear that he had taken ill again after overcoming his challenges from prostate cancer just two years ago.

“From the news report, I gathered that he was rushed to the Emergency unit of LUTH after being diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). I must say that even though I don’t know Mr. Daba personally, he is a face I am familiar with through the old TV drama production ‘Cock Crow at Dawn’ which I used to watch while growing up.

“I was moved by a sense of nostalgia and concern when I read of his medical situation recently and decided to take over his medical bills. He has been visited and arrangements are being made to support him.

In other climes, the likes of Sadiq Daba and other such actors who more or less paved the way for the entertainment industry and the Nollywood industry in Nigeria (which is touted as the 3rd largest movie industry in the world) would be celebrated as Icons and due recognition would be accorded to them.

“For me, taking care of Sadiq’s medical expenses is my little way of showing appreciation and gratitude for the good memories he created for me and others in the past.”
