The popular Lagos club owner and businessman has been battling acute diabetes for a while now. He went to India sometime last year for treatment and was getting better but according to people close to him, he was hit by another crisis that has kept him out of the public for months now. Akeem no longer runs his popular club, Movida. His younger brother manages it for now.
He's retired to his Oniru Estate home and hardly ever comes out these days. People who have seen him recently said he's lost a lot of wight and he receives treatment weekly from a hospital in Victoria Island. Akeem talked about his illness sometime last year:
"Yes I have diabetes and the truth is, three quarter of Nigerians are diabetic. It can't be cured but can be controlled. I used to drink a lot of champagne and Hennessy and sweet foods, so it affected me and my blood sugar went haywire. I don't drink anymore and I control my food in take because my health situation was really bad

God is ur strenght u are healed in jesus name
Just dont wanna type anything offensive, I pray he gets well IJN! So he could tell his story and others would learn.
Intake of alcohol as well as Coke and Fanta etc. should be cut out completely or at least minimised. Nigerians drink these poisons like water. Yes, I said poisons!!!!!
3/4 of Nigeria are diabetics, that's absurd, subjective and much which i can never be among. Always watch your intake this era as a lot things keep changing compared to our grand papa era. Wish him quick recovery and great health. Discover the Secret to losing weight and burning tummy fat
My dear Linda,pls there's no such thing as 'acute diabetes' ok?you can only have acute or chronic complications!
Pls there is no diagnoses like "acute diabetes"!
Secondly, Champagne, Hennessy & sweet foods don't cause Diabetes Mellitus.
Nevertheless the can worsen the prognosis of the disease.
U are healed sir, amen.
Only diz man owns a bentley,a mercerdez benz gl jeep,an elscalade e.t.c wish u quick recovery
Movida luv,wish u quick recovery from movida baby

get well soon dr, so u'll enjoy ur beautiful daughter and ur pretty baby mama .
I pray 4 him
Get well dear,very Nice man
I hope you take insulin injection daily. Controlling your food is a tiny bit of it. Even Halle Berry has it ( type2 ).
Akeem dear,wishing u a quick recovery.nice guy
I meant that Halle Berry has type 1.
May your sister's soul rest in God's love and peace...Amen
It is well with u dear!
He is right, many Nigerians are prone to diabetes because most of our diet involves alot of carbs, most of the time its not only sweet stuff and sugar that causes it.
To think this whole thing started at hilton hotel off allen where he was lodging with a gf that apparently almost killed him spiritually.Akeem na u know wetin u don put hand for,it's been said u've extremely sweaty palms which is very embarrasing and a symptom of something else
Yes. A lot of people are diabetic and there is a need to educate people of preventing and treating diabetes.
Too many men including young men sporting humongous tummies and over weight women proudly showing off their 'curves'
Too much starchy foods and sugary drinks being consumed as healthy meals. I almost overdosed on sugar this christmas when I was there on vacation. Some fruit juice or sugary drink was always being served as a refreshment. Luckily I came to my senses in about 3/4 days. Gotta watch what goes into your mouth and EXCERCISE
Linda do a series on diabetes. At least your readers will be educated. Nobody should be dying from unmanaged diabetes
Chai,i remember my swt daddy.he died of chronic complications from diabetes. Always slipping in & out of coma. May his soul rest in peace,Amen. Akeem,u re healed in jesus name,amen. Just follow d instructions ur doc gav u & pray too. God is still God.
Get well soon. God bless you. Vry nice and humble man.
Get well soon .
Emmm I think he got Aids. Jst saying. Ok bye
It is well wt u dearie!
Awwwwwww get well soon mr akeem, saw him ones and dat belle ehn no be here oooo...
Dats how some1 gave me 1 stupid gist(rumor)dat bcos he wrecked yobo's club wen he managed it and used d money 2 open movida dats y karma caught up wif him...na wa 4 naija wif rumors sha
Jazz things. Renew your contract and get well soon.
i dont know why wealthy people dont like staying outside nigeria for an extensive length of time…i hope he realises that he is still young and his health is much more important that 1000 movidas..
he can afford it so why is he not checking himself into a proper,top class health facility abroad for a couple of months until he is stable and then come back?
gani fawehinmi as wealthy and known as he is,far adua both of them were misdiagnosed by supposedly excellent nigerian consultants which contributed to their deaths..
this guy should not put 100% trust in nigerian consultants but go seek medical help in a country where they have excellent medical facilities like the uk,usa cuba
Awwww,he is such a nice man,I mean really nice dat likes to assist d less privilege I pray the almighty God heals you soon amen
I love you. We share same faith. I have a terrible health issue too,tho not diabetic, but I am hopeful, alive and kicking. I live my normal life, I hustle and make my legitimate money like every normal person. Any day death strikes....glory to the name of Jehova. I must have done my part on earth. But again, there's still healing balm in gilead....God works in difficult situations, to bring glory to His name. So remain positive and enjoy life responsibly.
I wish him quick recovery.

Very simple!...adjust your lifestyle, Zero alcohol, cut down on carbs, sugar, fatty foods.....exercise and stay in shape!
Get well soon. Very nice guy but gambles too much in different casinos in Lagos. Now that u r home, u can cure that addiction as well.

Big man, big trouble. God dey! I wish him quick. recovery.

True word dear.if only people would google the effects of refined sugar,they won't touch dat sweet poison again.Am in my 20's and its been two years now since I stopped eating sugar not bc we have diabectics in my family but I chose healthy living cos I want to be healty even in old age by Gods grace.Sugar is addictive just like cocaine(hard to believe but true)!
Don't worry Akeem.u ll will ok u will see.Bless u! Signed:wide eyed.

Its not diabetes... *lips sealed*i know him
Thank you, pls linda edit your publications well.....u neva no d nxt person cud av acute dia********
diabetes eeyah sorry o God will heal you ooo.
it is not diabetes oooo
Akeem confess,and u will be ok again
it is cclaimed diabetes is not curable but i read type 2 is reversible with diet and lifestyle changes.
i went for a test and my blood sugar was 8.1 which the doctor said makes me diabetic.after one week of diet and excercise,it reduced to 6.6 which is about the normal limit and i intend to continue excercising and dieting.
therefore, i urge LIB readers to regularly test their blood sugar level and shun softdrinks and other sugary stuff like plague.avoidin cigarette and alcohol and minimizing starchy food like yam,rice,casava etc will help.i wish you quick recovery dear.
U knw him or not! God is watching us all! He who's without sin shud pls cast d first stone! Akeem is a very humble fellow, ı knw him so well! Who does not like women?? Except u're gay! Abeggy, nigerian una Mouth too bad! One sum1 get rich na jazz! Na so una own no work?? Na una sabi o! D man is very hardworking he Deserves evrythg he has!!
Get well soon.u Will survive dz insha Allah
Shut the fuck up, nobody can cure diabetes ok, you can only control it by injecting insuling dump.
I really wish a fast recovery. It is scary how people go for check ups and realize they're living with one deadly disease or another. 80% of people that go for medical check up are positive with something deadly. May Almighty God continue to guide and protect us. Last Year my husband and I went for medical checkup and we were perfectly alrighty, this year i am diagnose with HIV. I am perfectly alright and no symptom or whatsoever, I just went for the test again which is the normal thing to do. How do I explain that?..... Ive bin faithful and still faithful to my husband. Bin careful around sharp object is what I don't joke with naturally or sharing of things that i know will be harmful is what I won't do. What possibly went wrong I can't tell. But I'm happy and living well. It just bothers me sometimes when I think about how people are living with deadly virus without knowing. Beware ppl.
Don't care what anybody thinks or says, if you are not proactive with your health and live irresponsibly-this among many other things become your outcome...sooo serves you right. Just sayin lol
Are we sure its diabetes??? Just sayin
AnonymousFebruary 12, 2013 at 9:47 PM. We know ure perfect ooo. Pray u continue to b. Whoever ure refering to abt "serves u right" is your biz. Either d lady dat shared her story or hakim. Just b sure you'll still hv your cake. Oloriburuku somebody. How can u say "serves u right"? U b God! Na dat "Lol" go kill you. Wicked soul.
Akeem is a very nice guy,I remembered I met him at the club one day didn't even know he was the one I sat close to him and he was advicing me about school and wen he was leaving he gave me 100,000naira to take care of some of my school expenses even without asking.May God's healing be upon you.....u re healed by his stripes
He just died!
