Chidi was taken to the hospital, but nothing could be done.

What Chidi’s life is like in Nigeria as a visually impaired person.

Chidi eventually became blind in both eyes. He was devastated because it seemed like his life had come to an end. Chidi could only see a thick cloud in front of his face, and sometimes sparks of different colors or light. Having seen this before, Chidi could still remember what the world looked like. The symphony of sounds around him helped him visualize his surroundings. However, living as a visually impaired person in Nigeria has been a challenge for Chidi.

Chidi explained that there are traffic jams everywhere and the roads are not built properly. There were especially no ramps for important buildings. Most houses and public places had steps.

Rain hoped Chidi could see

Rain had been in Africa for a year when she took him to the clinic for examination. Raine thought it was really hard for her to listen to Chidi talk about losing her vision. This broke Raine’s heart. She talked to Chidi about it and found out. he has not been to an ophthalmologist for more than 10 years. Rain thought it was shocking. She made an appointment so Chidi could see a specialist.

“If I could help him, I would honestly help him restore his vision,” Rain said.

Chidi prayed every day for progress in science

Chidi didn’t think his dream was far-fetched

If there was one thing Chidi prayed for every day, it was progress in science. especially something that could cure his glaucoma. Chidi thought this would completely change his life. It always seemed like a far-fetched reality to Chidi, but Rain’s optimism gave him hope that something could be done.

Chidi saw hope at the end of the tunnel

The doctor examined Chidi’s eyes to see if he was able to perceive the light she was sending into his eyes with the flashlight. Chidi’s emotions were running high. He began to imagine what it would be like to see the wonderful world around him again. However, Chidi was very nervous, waiting to see if his dream would finally come true.

She explained to him that there was no light perception, and when there was no light perception, it meant that the nerves in his eyes were not active. She added that nerves do not regenerate and once they die, nothing can be done. She told him that the chances of him being able to see again were slim.

How is Chidi doing in 2024?

Chidi was so scared

Hearing that nothing could be done to restore his vision was heartbreaking. The thought of losing my eye completely was even worse. Chidi never imagined that something like this could happen to him. They were going to give him medicine to lower his blood pressure. Chidi tried to find a silver lining in the fact that Rain told him to go see a doctor. Despite the negative report, Chidi was confident that: by the grace of God, something positive could still happen.

Rain tried to cheer up Chidi, telling him that even if he couldn’t see him again, his life could be just as bright if Rain was in it. Unfortunately, Rain is no longer a part of Chidi’s life. Rhine and Chidi are fighting on social networks, with Chidi claims Rain can be incredibly dangerous at times and the desire to invite vampires and cannibals to a feast. Chidi spoke about Reina, saying that she could call upon dark forces against him and his family if she doesn’t get what she wants.

Rain and Chidi didn’t get the happiness they deserved. Chidi is active on Instagram but doesn’t post many photos or real-time selfies to show what he currently looks like. If Chidi succeeds in the operation, he may only feel ready to talk about it during Tell All.. Chidi was confident that he could find a cure for his condition, and even if Reina wasn’t with him, he could overcome his biggest obstacles with divine help.
