My name is Michael Uchunor. I am from Ibusa in Delta State and currently reside in Lagos, Nigeria. Several years ago, I survived a stroke—an event that dramatically changed the course of my life.
Living with the effects of stroke has been a challenging journey, but one that has also shaped me with resilience, patience, and a deep sense of purpose. I share my story because I believe stroke survivors deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. Too often, we face stigma, isolation, and inadequate care. By speaking out, I hope to raise awareness, offer hope, and advocate for improved support and inclusion for stroke survivors across Nigeria.
Recovery is possible, and no one should walk this path alone.
