“For Three Weeks, We Were In Hell’
Popular Nigerian singer,
Peter Okoye, has revealed how his nuclear family tested positive for the novel
Coronavirus and battled it for three weeks.
The former Psquare member who now goes by the name Mr P made
this known on his verified Instagram account via videos.
In one of the videos, Peter said he was the one who first
tested positive for the virus.
He said ”For the past three weeks, I have been ill and most
people didn’t even know what was wrong with me. I kept it to myself. It has
been three weeks of hell for me and my family.
“I had COVID-19 for about three weeks and it happened to me.
I was sick and I tested positive.
“The reason why I came out to say it is because I am going to
encourage a lot of people concerning this whole social distancing, getting used
to sanitizing your hands, disinfecting your environment, wearing your face mask
and all that.
“It’s been hell for this family in this house. Not just me.
Even two of my domestic staff.
“After a week, my daughter caught the virus as well. It was
sad that when she caught it, the doctor insisted that she has to be
self-isolated in her own room but my wife did something very courageous. She
said no.
“I was sick and I was being self-isolated in my guest room. I
couldn’t even see my sick daughter and I was feeling so bad. I felt so bad
because I felt that I am the one who actually brought the virus to the house.
It was so bad that I had to be calling her on video, checking on her.
“The next day, my wife did something very courageous. She
picked our daughter from her room, held her and took her to the master bedroom
and she called me and she started crying. I asked her what happened and she
said I cannot live this girl alone. I would rather be infected and be with her.
“Five or six days later, my daughter was pronounced negative.
When she was pronounced negative, we knew it wasn’t going to end there. The
next day, Lola became positive. It has been hell but we had a bad experience.
“I just want to tell everybody that this COVID19 is real.
Don’t take it for granted.
“I am happy to announce that my wife, myself, our daughter
and two of our domestic staff all of us are now negative,” he said”,
