Efetobore Timilehin Tega-Taire, a 21-year-old final-year anthropology student at the University of Ibadan (UI), can no longer see with either eye, and his father is struggling to raise N15.92 million for surgeries that doctors say could restore his sight.
Timilehin, who was preparing for his final examinations and sign-out ceremony in November, has had problems with his eyesight for about five years. However, his condition recently worsened, leading to further medical interventions at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.
Lucky Tega-Taire, his father who lives in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, told FIJ that the family had been referred to Skipper Eye-Q Super Specialty Eye Hospitals in Victoria Island, Lagos, after UCH said it lacked the necessary equipment to treat him.
According to Tega-Taire, the hospital has estimated the cost of surgery at N7.96 million per eye, leaving the family with a total bill of N15.92 million for both eyes. He said the family had raised only N1.5 million and was appealing to the public for help.

I told this new guy I’m seeing that I DON’T date broke men.
Three days later, he had me standing in the middle of a luxury store while the security guards watched us like we were on LIVE TV.
Him: “So this the bag you want?”
Me: “Yes, baby. The black one. $8,500.”
Him: “Eight THOUSAND five hundred dollars?”
Me: “You heard me.”
Him: “For a BAG?”
Me: “I thought you said you wanted to spoil me.”
Him: “I do.”
Me: “Then what’s the problem?”
He looked at the price tag, then looked at me.
Him: “You said you don’t date broke men, right?”
Me: “Exactly.”
Him: “And you think buying you this bag proves I’m not broke?”
Me: “Well, a man who got it like that wouldn’t be stressing over $8,500.”
He smiled.
Him: “Okay. Let’s do it.”
GIRL, I ALMOST SCREAMED.
Me: “See? I knew you were different.”
He handed the bag back to the sales lady.
Him: “We’ll take it.”
Then he pulled out his phone and asked her to print the receipt.
I was already imagining the pictures I was gonna post.
Then he turned to me.
Him: “Before I pay, can I ask you something?”
Me: “Sure, babe.”
Him: “How much is your rent?”
Me: “Why?”
Him: “Just answer.”
Me: “$1,600 a month.”
Him: “Car payment?”
Me: “$480.”
Him: “Credit card debt?”
Me: “What is this, an interview?”
Him: “You said you don’t date broke men. I’m just trying to understand your standards.”
I rolled my eyes.
Me: “I make my own money. I just like a man who can provide.”
Him: “Cool. How much you got saved?”
Me: “That’s none of your business.”
Him: “Fair enough.”
He turned back to the sales lady.
Him: “Cancel the receipt, please.”
My jaw DROPPED.
Me: “Excuse me?!”
Him: “I’m not buying it.”
Me: “So you ARE broke!”
Him: “No, I just decided I don’t wanna spend $8,500 on somebody who measures a man’s worth by what he buys her.”
Me: “You brought me here!”
Him: “You sent me the store location and told me to prove myself.”
Me: “A real man wouldn’t embarrass me like this!”
Him: “A real woman wouldn’t need a handbag to determine if a man is worth dating.”
I told him he was cheap, insecure, and probably couldn’t afford me anyway.
He nodded, walked out, and left me standing there with the sales lady.
That was last week. ..............
