Cultural ambassador Farooq Oreagba opens up on cancer battle as he marks World Cancer Day


Cultural ambassador and style icon, Farooq Oreagba, has shared a deeply personal story about his long and quiet battle with cancer, revealing how a routine hospital visit changed his life forever.


Speaking on World Cancer Day, February 4, Oreagba disclosed that exactly 12 years ago, on February 3, 2014, he went for a routine scan — not because he felt sick, but simply out of caution. A week later, the results came back with words he says he will never forget.


He was diagnosed with stage one multiple myeloma, a cancer that attacks plasma cells in the bone marrow.

At the time, there was no known family history of cancer, and his youngest child was just two years old. According to him, the news turned his world upside down, but he made a firm decision to fight.


Oreagba revealed that he began chemotherapy shortly after the diagnosis and underwent a stem cell transplant in August 2014, which was successful. Months later, on February 4, 2015, he was declared to be in complete remission — a date he describes as symbolic and unforgettable.


Despite the remission, the journey wasn’t over.


He went on to complete seven additional years of chemotherapy, making it eight years in total, finally finishing treatment in August 2022. Today, he says he only goes for routine quarterly checkups and continues to live with gratitude and purpose.
