Read her full statement below;

My name is Laura Nduoyo, a journalist. I’ve had an ailment which started in March 2011 for which I had surgery that resulted in a fistula that kept me bedridden for almost a year.

People rallied me to assist me to go to India but since came back my suffering continued for years in another form.

The latest being the last two years, I have been living excruciating painful health situation, I did not say anything publicly cos I was feeling too ashamed to ask again.

As my situation grows worse, I can’t do anything for myself, so I’m appealing to Nigerians again to help. I’m so exhausted trying to solve this problems myself borrowing to buy expensive drugs I cannot afford yet nothing has changed until I find the monies to do the necessary surgery.

When I came back from India in 2012, I kept suffering from repeated intense lower middle and right abdominal pain where the illeostomy bag was kept from the fistula/intestinal surgery that I had.

I kept going to the hospital but no changes. In 2020 February, I saw a surgical thread pushed against my navel. Since then, I suffer from stomach constriction. My stomach feels like it is tied with strings stretching from my navel downwards, I feel bloated 24 hours with my tummy stretched like there is a balloon.

I also suffer light sensitivity, my stomach burn from navel down wards when I come in contact with intense light. Light from fluorescent bulbs, cooking flames, etc.

I stay in dim or dark places or with lights switched off, even the light from phones burns me. I feel like I’m carrying a half Kg stone in my lower stomach. It’s difficult sitting or lying down. I also suffer diarrhea and piles constantly.

I even borrowed money from the bank to buy drugs that different people suggesting, this drugs can be quite expensive. Breathing is a difficulty. My life is hellish.

My feet and face are constantly swollen.
Please I need help to undergo surgical procedure.
