Dr Sina Scolds Video Director TG Omori Over Photo of Himself Holding Weed Despite Kidney Transplant

TG Omori, one of Nigeria's most sought-after music video directors, has been called out by medical commentator Dr Sina over a photo that has sparked serious concern among his fans. The image shows Omori, whose real name is ThankGod Omori Jesam, posing in a green Team Mexico jersey and black shorts while holding what appears to be weed. Dr Sina reacted strongly, warning that smoking after a kidney transplant can have devastating health consequences. "Someone who had a kidney issue and got kidney transplant should not be smoking. Smoking destroys the kidneys," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Omori's health journey has been well documented and deeply troubling for his fans. He revealed his kidney failure in 2024, which he allegedly linked to consuming adulterated drinks. In August 2024, his brother donated a kidney for a transplant at St Nicholas Hospital in Lagos. Tragically, that transplant failed, leading to multiple surgeries, ongoing treatments, and significant financial and emotional strain. Throughout this ordeal, Omori had previously announced that he was quitting smoking, describing kidney failure as "one of the worst things" anyone could ever experience.

The online space has been flooded with reactions to the photo and Dr Sina's criticism, with opinions sharply divided. Some people defended Omori, suggesting that the photo might be a throwback from before his health struggles. Others pointed out that his hairstyle in the photo looks different from his current look, indicating it might be an old picture. However, many commenters expressed concern and disappointment, with one writing, "Something must kill a man. He wishes to die as God gave him second chance." Another asked, "How person go dey smoke on borrowed kidney?" questioning why someone who received a life-saving transplant would engage in risky behavior.

Omori has not yet responded to the backlash or clarified whether the photo is recent or an old one. His silence has allowed speculation to continue, and fans are hoping for an explanation. Dr Sina's warning, however, stands regardless of when the photo was taken, smoking destroys kidneys, and for someone who has already lost one and received a transplant, the stakes could not be higher. This incident serves as a reminder that health is not something to gamble with, even for the most famous and talented among us.
