August 23, (THEWILL) – Nigerian veteran singer, Mike Okri, has contracted the dreaded coronavirus despite being fully vaccinated.
Okri announced this on his Instagram page over the weekend: “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,” he said.
“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.”
THEWILL writes that Okri is a Nigerian singer who became popular in the 1980s and early 1990s with hits like “Time Na Money” and “Omoge.”
