Veteran Nigerian singer, Mike Okri has tested positive for COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated.
Glamtush reports that Mike Okri, who recently returned home after so many years abroad, said he discovered that he had caught the virus when he went for the COVID test on Friday, August 20, a day before he was due to travel.
The ‘Omoge’ crooner disclosed that he felt “devastated” and “funny” and had gone into self-isolation at home for 10 or 14 days.
Announcing his health status during a Facebook Live video, Okri said: “Hey folks, this is coming to me as a rude shock. I had my Covid test on Friday, hoping to fly today, Saturday and it turned out it was positive.
“I’m so devastated, which means that I can’t travel for another 10 to 14 days. As I’m speaking now, I’m self-quarantined.
“I just want to tell folks that yes, for those doubting Thomases, that the damn thing is real.
“I’m feeling funny; even though I had my vaccines, double shots, I’m still almost like, hmm, that doesn’t mean that you’re immune.
“So, folks, there are a lot of people walking around with it, but they don’t even know.”
