Actor Roy De Nani has disclosed that he lost both his son and daughter after being unable to afford blood transfusions required to save their lives. He shared the painful experience in a social media post titled "I lost my children because…", where he called for help to support others facing similar challenges. The actor did not specify when the deaths occurred or the medical conditions that led to the need for transfusions. He also did not disclose the names or ages of the children. His post has since generated reactions from members of the public, with some expressing sympathy and others calling for improved access to emergency medical care.
Roy De Nani lost two children because he could not pay for blood transfusions, yet he is expected to fundraise alone rather than receive state support. A parent in Nigeria should not have to plead online while watching a child die from treatable medical needs. The fact that a public figure must make grief public to seek help exposes how fragile health access remains for even known citizens. If visibility is now a requirement for survival, then the system has already failed silently for millions without platforms.
