Nigerian artist Adekunle Gold recently shared his personal journey of living with sickle cell disease in a heartfelt interview.
Gold recounted the intense backlash and ridicule he faced upon initially revealing his condition. Despite these challenges, he emphasized the significance of raising awareness and the resilience required to manage the disease daily.
Gold’s candid discussion aims to inspire others with similar health issues and spark more conversations about sickle cell disease.
His story underscores the need for empathy and understanding, breaking down stigmas and fostering a supportive environment for those living with chronic illnesses.
He said, “I want people living with sickle cell to feel safe, to feel like they have help and support.
“They call you a sickler… Recently, when I talked about it [my struggle with sickle cell] on the song [‘5-star’], I saw a lot of tweets from people attacking and abusing me.
“I’m speaking about sickle cell disease now because I just got the courage to come out and speak up openly about it. A lot of people can’t share their stories like I can.”

Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan revealed that he was the one who called for the arrest of activist Harrison Gwamnishu, who is currently in custody in Benin, Edo State.
“He was arrested yesterday night. In all honesty, I initiated the call that led to his arrest. I did. And first of all, I’m really disappointed in everything, but I would wait for him to come out, and this time, I would want him to use his mouth to say the truth about what happened in Auchi.”
VeryDarkMan revealed that he made the call because the activist was lying instead of revealing the truth.
Media personality Dorcas Shola Fapson, also known as DSF, gives advice to Nigerians regarding relocating abroad.

She said: “People think you’re abroad and you’re making pounds. They could be abroad doing a cleaner job, making however much per hour. You probably have better opportunities here in Nigeria.”
She spoke on the misconception of relocating out and how most of it is not real or no one emphasizes on the hard part.
