Nigerian music video director ThankGod Omori, popularly known as TG Omori, discusses the financial strain of kidney failure treatment, saying the cost of dialysis is too high for many people to sustain. He says even a monthly salary of N1 million may not cover the ongoing expense of dialysis treatment.
Omori raises concerns about affordability in interviews about his illness, including comments that a person earning minimum wage would likely be unable to pay for a dialysis session. Both outlets attribute the remarks to his appearance on the Afropolitan podcast on YouTube, where he reflects on his experience with kidney failure and the practical challenges of paying for care over time.
The coverage focuses mainly on his portrayal of treatment costs rather than providing medical details or specific billing figures. While The Punch emphasizes the insufficiency of N1 million to cover dialysis, Daily Post highlights his warning about minimum-wage earners struggling to afford even one session, reflecting similar concerns about widespread inaccessibility of dialysis.
