his life for the better.
“For me, family first because I don’t know how long I’m going to be around, but by God’s Grace, I’m 10 years and counting, and I’m not about to – since I’ve been crowned King of Steeze – I’m not about to just go like that anytime soon.” Oreagba added that he has found fulfilment in supporting other cancer patients as a counsellor, as he shared, “I counsel cancer patients, I’ve been counselling cancer patients for a while. I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which is cancer of the bone in February 2014. I had a bone marrow transplant in August 2014, been in remission since.
“I’m 58 and I say to you now, if I could live another 20 years, I would say being diagnosed with cancer was the best thing to ever happen to me. It changed my perspective on life. I don’t sweat the small stuff, what I’m there for, I’m there for it. Counselling cancer patients, trying to improve access to better healthcare, I’ll do that all day long.”
Oreagba said, “If we’re going to reap the benefits of such festivals, it puts a lot of pressure on the government. Because if you’re going to have people coming in I hear UNESCO wants to make some of these festivals heritage. If you’re going to bring people – let me talk about Ijebu for example. If you’re going to have people coming to Ijebu or you want more people coming to Ijebu for this festival, someone’s going to have to fix the infrastructure.
