Let me share a true life story especially about that frame 2, Agbo (Herbal concotions) why I'd always tell you to run away from it.
2/3 years ago, I was involved with a Documentary to follow the life of a very popular Instrumentalist in Nigeria.
This Man played instruments for some of the biggest Old artistes in Nigeria, mention them. The Big names.
He had pictures of himself hanging out with them.
He was a frequent customer of a particular woman that sold roadside Agbo (herbal concoctions) which he had been taking for a while.
On this particular day, he felt he had malaria, took his normal shot.
But this time he didn't get better.
Next he noticed his legs were swelling up and he was not making enough urine.
So he reached out to the hospital.
It was in the Hospital that it was noticed that he had Kidney failure, he was surprised how. Albeit a late stage.
But How??? He wondered.
He needed funds for dialysis, reached out to his Celebrity friends, A lot of them didn't turn up.
Very few supported him, He was to start having his Dialysis with the little contributions.
When we spoke to him, He was happy to take us to his Agbo vendor.
We went and bought some of those Agbo and sent it to labs in Lagos.
Firstly many of those Agbo people mix their drinks with dangerous drugs like Tramadol, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen etc. And other Illicit drugs.
By the time the results came out, The Agbo plug he had been taking contained toxic and dangerous amounts of substances that were enough to destroy anyone's Kidneys, Brain and Liver.
Sadly as we were shooting the documentary, He passed away.
The documentary was dedicated and created in his Honour.
This documentary aired at National and International settings and won a lot of Awards.
It opened another discourse of the Poison in a bottle called Agbo.
I wish He were alive to watch the documentary.
Many lives were touched.
I will attach the documentary to this tweet.
Please if you watch, Try and Retweet the Video.
