Aproko Doctor reveals why he does online medical content
Chinonso, over the years, has consciously carved a niche for himself within the online community after starting as a Twitter influencer and now as a virtual content creator.
He shared what has always driven his passion to educate on how to stay healthy and fit. Aproko said:
"The inspiration behind what I do is making sure that every Nigerian has access to quality health information in a manner that they can understand. And generally, through time people have always shared information via stories/story-telling. By passing my information the way I do I have reached a lot more people."
During the conversation, Aproko thanked his wife and everyone who people don't see but are usually behind the camera to help bring his ideas to life. Chiamaka jumped in and noted that she is also a content creator, though not as a medical person but rather as a chef.
Aproko Doctor shares how his wife supports him
After he mentioned his wife always being behind the scenes and helping him with his videos, we asked him what it was like for him going through the entire process of his brain surgery pre- and post.
"My wife was my biggest support through that period. Whenever I was cranky, or even when I was going through recovery, whenever I was weak. Though I still get severe headaches and migraines but compared to what I used to feel before I had the sugery, my was my strength all through."
"I had to become his caregiver" - Aproko Doctor's wife reveals
"I saw it as an opportunity to grab him as my responsibility, though he has always being my responsibility anyway. But at that point I just believed that he has a lot to achieve and at this point I am not his wife but his caregiver. And couldn't be more happy to see him recover so fats after just one month. Imagine coming back to work after just a month after a brain surgery.
Aproko Doctor advises people on pots to use for cooking
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting that Nigerian doctor Chinonso Egemba has warned people against using non-stick pots with damaged bottom coats.
According to the doctor, non-stick pots are coated with Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are not supposed to peel.
Aproko doctor said PFAS that peel from the bottom of cooking pots and other wares signify that the non-stick ware is fake. He added that the PFAS are capable of causing diseases.
