Veteran Nigerian disc jockey, Oluwaforijimi Adewale Amu aka DJ Jimmy Jatt, has revealed he had a kidney transplant.
On Friday, September 16, the Nigerian entertainer revealed that he had kidney disease and has had a transplant.
According to the veteran disc jockey, Wednesday, September 14th, 2022, marked six months since his transplant, which was performed in Lagos, Nigeria, after he chose to travel down from the United States, where his family resides.
DJ Jimmy Jatt expressed his gratitude to God for giving him a second chance in an Instagram video.
DJ Jimmy Jatt also stated that he has chosen to become an ambassador for Kidney Transplants in order to ensure that the public is properly informed about it.
He wrote: “My father used the difference between cars & humans to teach me a lesson in humility.
If you broke cars down, you would find a difference in horse power, number of plugs & exhausts, gear systems etc but dissecting any two humans would reveal the same 206 bones, 1 heart, 2 kidneys, 1 skull. etc.

So pomposity makes no sense & that has been my creed all my life. We are all the same.
But this experience has reinforced the fact that we all also do share the frailty of life in common. No one is promised tomorrow.

A very successful kidney transplant (exactly 6months today) has further deepened my appreciation for life’s most important things & gratitude to God.
My gratitude joyfully extends to the management and staff of @zenithmedicalandkidneycentre for the most professional execution of the surgery. The warmth and reassurance of the entire team was immeasurable
I cannot imagine pulling through this without my angels. My wife, my daughters, I love you beyond any words say. And to my siblings, where do I begin to thank you. My friends for an amazing support system.
To anyone battling kidney disease, this is not the end and to all donors & care givers. Keep staying God sent.
