The Nigerian musician Ikechukwu Onunaku has detailed his rehabilitation process from a condition that left him bedridden and on the verge of paralysis.
The rapper stated last week that his right side was paralyzed due to a herniated disc and acute sciatica.
Ikechukwu stated that the disease rendered him bedridden and that he is currently using crutches during a live interview with Daddy Freeze.
“Baba I get herniated disc and acute sciatica and it paralyzed my whole right side, lumbar 4 and 5. A whole me can you imagine, na bed wen I don dey since,” he had said in pidgin English.
“Baba, if you see me, I’m not same person you knew before, the guy who does backflips left and right.
“To waka dey pain me. I no fit waka.

“I pulled it on the 17th in the morning, and instead of calming down, I went to a show I was booked for, the following day, I couldn’t get out of bed. After two more days of dealing with the pain, I had to rush to Evercare Hospital around 3 a.m.
“They put drips in both of my hands with painkillers, which only lasted a little bit, and I no won risk my life with Nigerian healthcare again, so I just got a ticket straight to Yankee.”
However, he posted a video of himself on crutches on Tuesday while making an effort to stand up straight again.
In another video, the rapper can be seen stretching his back and expressing optimism that he will soon begin walking.
“Slowly but surely. I will get back walking. I will touch my toes without bending my knees. I will feel no sharp stabs in my back or legs. I will do backflips in February,” he captioned the post.
