Popular social commentator Isaac Fayose tearfully revealed that his wife is battling cancer.

In a video shared on Instagram, he explained that he travelled to Australia to visit his family but was met with the painful reality of his wife’s failing health.

He described how she was too weak to welcome him, which is a sharp contrast to her usual routine of picking him up at the airport and cooking for him.

The media personality narrated that he had to take an Uber home and prepare meals himself, while his wife lay unable to talk or move.

Sitting beside her, Isaac Fayose said he sang her favourite hymn, Abide With Me, first in English and then in Yoruba, to comfort her.

Though her eyes remained closed, she squeezed his hand faintly, showing she could still hear his voice.

“My wife has cancer and she’s not feeling well. When I got here, my wife was so weak she couldn’t even turn to say welcome Isaac. My wife normally picks me up at the airport, but this time I end up taking Uber. She cooks for me. I end up cooking for her. She couldn’t cook, she couldn’t talk.”

Isaac Fayose, still in tears, then turned his pain into a message for Nigerian politicians, lamenting that wealth and possessions cannot save lives.

He criticised leaders for misusing public funds while hospitals remain in poor condition, citing reports of no light or water in Ekiti hospital.
