Just had a chat with former @NGSuperEagles @VfB_int @VfLWolfsburg_EN & @HansaRostock forward @akpoborie, about Monday’s free surgeries in #Ozoro, Delta State, #Nigeria, by the team of doctors from Belgian NGO reVIVE, whom he brought to help the sick, who can’t afford treatment. 
.@akpoborie: “I watched some of the surgeries on Monday. It was really an experience. One young boy got rid of a hernia. It was good to see him him cured. I was really touched by that,” he said.
He goes on: “There are so many people to help. And the sad thing is that as much as the doctors are able to do, we can’t help everyone. We had already closed the case list, when 2 more children came with their mum. We told them the list had closed…
… but when the doctors saw them, they insisted that we had to help them and we managed to find a way to squeeze them in. Some surgeries cannot be done because they didn’t come with the right equipment and we couldn’t get what we needed here. That’s been sad,” @akpoborie said.
.@akpoborie: “I am hoping that I am able to bring the doctors back again. If not to Ozoro, maybe to #Lagos where I grew up or where I see there is a real desperate need for help.” reVive’s current medical mission to #Nigeria ends on the 29th of October.
