OJB: “Alcohol Is Not The Cause Of My Kidney Failure”

                                       

This is widely assumed thought and I must confess that I also always believe that too much alcohol is always the cause of kidney related illnesses.

Well, In a recent interview, popular music producer Babatunde Okungbowa aka OJB, is proving me wrong as he opens up to Nigerian Tribune on his kidney failure and marriage.

Read excerpts from the interview below: –

When asked if Alcohol is the cause of his Kidney failure, OJB said “It is bigger than alcohol. Take for example, I had stopped drinking eight years before the problem started. When they check you, your toxic result will come out and they will tell you what your problem is. Mine was zero in alcohol. What it had to do with was basically your diet pattern and your stress and rest pattern. It is either you get it from high blood pressure or you get it from diabetes.

Yes, you can say sometimes, alcohol could play a role because the end product of all the alcohol we were drinking was sugar. For me, mine was blood pressure-driven, because most of the time, I was working double more than I used to work. Of course, one is growing older and there is a limit to what the body can take. When you are sleeping four hours in a day, it will definitely take its toll on you. It may not happen immediately, it could happen five or six years later. That was my own case.”
