“Money Can’t Buy Health” – Teni Opens Up About Battle with Malaria

Singer and songwriter Teni, fondly known as the ‘Sugar Mummy of Lagos’, has shared a candid video detailing her recent struggle with illness, emphasising that “money cannot buy you health o, na God.”

In the video, the hitmaker revealed she battled malaria for two weeks, leaving her weak and without an appetite. Despite her condition, she still traveled to Ondo for a performance, joking that she had no choice because she couldn’t refund the payment.

Teni showcased her signature humor and resilience, poking fun at her appearance and even making lighthearted remarks about her father’s burial site:

“They should turn off the AC in my father’s burial ground. It’s like he wanted to take a nap. I said, ‘Wake up, your daughter is dying!’”

She also called out Ikate’s mosquito problem, urging authorities to take action:

“Ah, e no go better for all the mosquitos wey dey for Ikate! Malaria had me down!”

Despite her struggles, she kept her spirits high, ending the video with a laugh:

“Look at me, I was dying oh! But I still went to perform because any money that enters my Sugar Mummy account does not come back out!”

Teni’s message serves as a reminder that good health is priceless, no matter how much money one has.
