Video director TG Omori has announced plans to begin a new glasses design project, with a portion of the proceeds going towards supporting individuals with kidney disease who struggle to afford dialysis.
According to him, his financial struggles of living with kidney disease inspired the initiative.
He highlighted on X, the exorbitant cost of dialysis, which can range from N100,000 per session, with some patients requiring three sessions weekly.
According to him, this financial burden is particularly daunting considering Nigeria’s minimum wage is N70,000.
He said his personal experience with kidney disease has given him a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those who cannot afford life-saving treatment.
Omori stated that his own medical expenses have been heavy, with his six-month treatment costing as much as two Mercedes-Benz GLE SUVs and a C300.
Omori wrote on X: “Dialysis is about 100k plus per session, sometimes you need 3 sessions in a week, minimum wage is 70k. Knowing this facts brought me tears in the hospital cause no hope for the common man.
“I’m working on my first major glasses design that will be up on sale soon where some of the proceeds will go to people living with Kidney Diseases that can’t afford pay for their dialysis”.
He added: “Saw my 6months health expenses, Omo 2 GLE and one small C300 bro! Health is wealth true”.
Music video director TG Omori has lauded the church for playing a significant role in shaping his career in filmmaking.
In a post on Twitter, Omori shared that his journey into directing began during church drama nights, where he discovered and developed his acting and directing skills.
According to him, the church not only provided him with opportunities but also guided him to pursue a career in filmmaking.
Omori defended the importance of spirituality and religion in people’s lives, emphasising that while some may prioritise economic success, others find fulfilment in faith.
He encouraged respect for individual choices, noting that many people have had life experiences that drew them closer to their faith.
He wrote, “Life isn’t all about making money or chasing economic power; some people find comfort and solace in spirituality or religion. Even the China you all speak of has monks and spiritualists who have found peace in their search and pursuit of eternal life with no interest in the wealth of the world. Because you haven’t experienced life events that have left you with no choices doesn’t make you wiser; a billion religious people can’t all be stupid. Just live and let live.
“The Church funded and advised me to pursue a career in filmmaking. The church gave me a platform to discover my acting and directing skills at drama nights when the hood or trenches had social clubs or neighbourhood theatre houses. I know everyone has their frustrations and arguments, but please give the church a breathing space. If I calculate my whole family offering for 10 years growing up, and not reach 20k. Money wey my papa Dey take down beer steady that year.

Just had to live with it, I was paying up and taking more to cover up. I was only able to pay it off with money. My brand and personality were fetching me. It’s a tough life for creatives.
