Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P, has revealed he, his wife and daughter battled coronavirus for three weeks after testing positive to the virus.
Mr. P took to his verified Instagram handle and other social media platforms via to narrate his experiences.
In one of the videos, Peter said he was the one who first tested positive for the virus.
He said: โFor the past three weeks, I have been ill and most people didnโt even know what was wrong with me. I kept it to myself. It has been three weeks of hell for me and my family.
โI had COVID-19 for about three weeks and it happened to me. I was sick and I tested positive.
โThe 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.
โItโs been hell for this family in this house. Not just me. Even two of my domestic staff.
โAfter 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.
โI was sick and I was being self-isolated in my guest room. I couldnโt 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.
โThe 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.
โFive or six days later, my daughter was pronounced negative. When she was pronounced negative, we knew it wasnโt going to end there. The next day, Lola became positive. It has been hell but we had a bad experience.
โI just want to tell everybody that this COVID19 is real. Donโt take it for granted.
โI am happy to announce that my wife, myself, our daughter and two of our domestic staff all of us are now negative,โ he concluded.
