“Since Monday I’ve been hospitalized with hardcore fever & need oxygen to support my breathing. It will pass.”

Last week, Njoku had revealed that he and his wife had undergone a test for COVID-19, which came out positive.

“I’m not feeling great but Mary is well. Literally no idea how I caught it. But we shall see this pass too.”

Njoku had launched IrokoTV in 2011. The platform web-based provides paid-for Nigerian films on demand.

Speaking on how he juggles family with building his brand during an interview, Njoku had said: “When my children were much younger, I was living on a plane, traveling across so many time zones.

“I missed them, and Mrs. Njoku, very much. I travel a lot less now, so I would say my favourite time of day is when I get home from work and I hear what they’ve done at nursery, we play and laugh and have dinner together.”

I would have been a lawyer, but I thank God because the reason I wanted to be a lawyer was that I wanted to have a voice, I have always desired to have a voice, and I have always desired to also be a person that will encourage others and also stand for injustice done to others and in that sense being in the job that I am today even gives me a bigger mouth at the end of the day,” she said.
