Peter Okoye of the deficit P-Square, yesterday, shared the story of how he survived covid19 with members of his family including domestic staff.
According to him, his wife, daughter and 2 of their domestic staff tested positive to the dreaded killer disease. In a video he posted to describe the grim experience, Peter said that:
“I just want to let you guys know that for the past 3 weeks, I’ve been sick, I’ve been ill and most people probably didn’t even know what what was wrong with me.
“I kept it to myself for nearly about 3 weeks. It’s been 3 weeks of hell for me and my family. I had COVID19 for about 3 weeks. For those who noticed during my zoom live draw, I was in a room instead of my usual location … I was doing it in my guest room because I was more like self-isolated. I was kind of in prison in my own house.
Peter Okoye added that “It wasn’t just me. I tested positive. The reason why I decided to come out to say it is because I think I want to encourage a lot of people concerning this whole social distancing. Getting used to sanitising your hands, disinfecting your environment, wearing your facemark and all that.
“It’s been hell in this family, this house, not just me, even 2 of my domestic staff. After a week, my daughter caught the virus as well. But, it was sad that when she caught it, the doctor insisted that she had to be self-isolated in her own room and my wife did something very very courageous, She said no.
Peter regretted that “I was sick and I was self-isolated inside the guest room. I can’t even see my daughter and I was feeling so bad. I felt like I am the one who actually brought this virus to the house. It was so bad that I had to be calling my daughter on video checking out for 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 started crying. I asked her what happened and she said, I can’t leave this girl alone. I would rather be infected, I’d rather be with her.
Speaking further, Peter Okoye said he has happy and worried because “5 – 6 days time, my daughter was pronounced negative. When she was pronounced negative, we knew it wasn’t going to end there. The next day, Lola (his wife) became positive.
It’s been hell. I don’t know how to say it but we had a bad experience.”
Peter Okoye’s message to the public as he survives covid19:
“I just want to tell everyone out there that this covd19 is real. Don’t take it for granted.
“The reason why I decided to come out to say it is because I think I want to encourage a lot of people concerning this whole social distancing. Getting used to sanitising your hands, disinfecting your environment, wearing your facemark and all that.
“I’m happy to announce that my wife, myself, our daughter and 2 of our domestic staff, all of us are now negative.
:For those who have noticed, during the draws for the past 2 weeks and last week everybody suspected, people knew I was sick, I lost a lot of weight but it’s good.
“I just want to say thank God that we are alive so guys, be safe out there.
Covid19, coronavirus is real. God bless you. Thanks you.”
