Music video director ThankGod Omori, known as TG Omori, says the cost of managing kidney failure can be so high that even a monthly income of N1m may not sustain regular dialysis. He made the disclosure during an interview on the Afropolitan podcast.

Nigerian music video director ThankGod Omori, popularly known as TG Omori, has spoken about the financial pressure associated with treating kidney failure. Omori said that earning N1m a month might still not be enough to maintain dialysis treatment, according to Punch Nigeria. He made the comment during an interview on the Afropolitan podcast, which was published on YouTube on Wednesday.

The director used his own experience to describe the cost of continuing treatment. His remarks focused on the difficulty of meeting dialysis expenses over time, rather than on a specific price for an individual session or a complete treatment plan. The supplied report says Omori recounted his battle with kidney failure, but it does not provide further details about his diagnosis, the duration of his treatment or his current health condition.

It also does not state whether he gave a total estimate of the expenses involved. His account highlights the recurring nature of the financial burden he associated with dialysis. Beyond saying that N1m could be insufficient, Omori did not identify a particular source of funding or announce any new treatment arrangement in the material provided.
