Nigerian Fuji musician Remi Aluko has revealed that he has been battling glaucoma for years and that his eyesight has worsened despite eye surgery. In an interview with Oyinmomo TV, he said he is now “not seeing” and that there is no difference between him and a blind person. He said he avoids dwelling on his condition to prevent depression, adding that he knows how to take care of himself.
Key Points:
Glaucoma can lead to permanent blindness if not managed early.
Many Nigerians lack awareness about the disease and regular eye check‑ups.
Aluko’s surgery did not stop vision loss, highlighting treatment challenges.
His openness may encourage others to seek help and accept their condition.
Depression is a real risk for those with irreversible vision loss.
Aluko’s public disclosure may raise awareness about glaucoma and the importance of early detection and management.
