Don Jazzy Announces ₦5 Million Support for Woman Battling Recurring Keloids

• Don Jazzy has announced ₦5 million support for Nancy Chidinma’s treatment after her appeal for help with recurring ear keloids gained attention online.

Music producer and Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy has announced a ₦5 million contribution towards the treatment of Nancy Chidinma, who appealed for financial assistance over recurring ear keloids.

The music executive responded to the appeal on X on Saturday, November 7, with a brief message: “5M sent.”

Chidinma thanked him for responding to her situation. However, in her initial acknowledgement, she said she had not received a credit alert and hoped the delay was bank-related.

She also expressed appreciation to people who shared her appeal, tagged the producer and encouraged donations. The report available at publication did not establish that she had subsequently received the funds. PUNCH

Chidinma had sought ₦7 million to complete funding for surgery and follow-up treatment.

According to her account, the condition had caused persistent pain and affected her ability to work. She said previous procedures and other treatments had failed to prevent the growths from returning.

Explaining her fundraising target, Chidinma estimated the overall treatment expenses at ₦8.2 million. She said she had already raised ₦1.2 million for surgery but still needed money for radiotherapy and subsequent care.

She put the estimated cost of two radiotherapy sessions at ₦5 million, with a further ₦2 million provision for additional treatment and postoperative expenses. These were the estimates she provided in her appeal.
