Toyin Lawani reveals struggle with brain cyst, calls for prayers

Toyin Lawani, a celebrity fashion stylist and television star, has disclosed her problems with a brain cyst and a deteriorating spine.

The mother of three revealed her health difficulties for the first time on the third episode of The Real Housewives of Lagos, where her doctor also informed her about the spine injury.

Speaking about her condition in a lengthy post via Instagram on Sunday, Toyin, popularly known as Tiannah, said it had been years of health struggles but she remained positive.

“Life is not that serious. We all still won’t make it out alive. Let’s Be kind with our words and lend a shoulder when we can. To everyone who has been making jest of my voice , Y’all need to stop it , You can’t force me to tell my story when I’m not Ready to & Nobody on this earth will tell my story for me , Except me, so don’t listen any rubbish insensitive narrative anyone sells to you, this is how I chose to let people into my world of pain,( Real Housewives of Lagos) Even people who make other people happy every day, have so much going on with them you know nothing about. Trust me it’s been years of health struggles & did it privately, but I show out. I deliver to my clients with no excuses, even if it’s the worst day of my life,

“So it’s very pathetic When u jump on my page & make jest of something u know nothing of. It took me a whole 4months to even talk again, So manage the sounds coming out of my mouth. Don’t forget The Real Housewives of Lagos was shot & done months ago, so you are only watching past tense now. Just support me with your prayers that all I ask, stop jumping on my live video to teach me what to do or laugh at me. I’m actually not finding it funny any more , I’m still healing & it will take a while. Had to leave that negative environment. But you don’t expect me to hide myself away forever,
That’s the only reason I’m not going to get into an argument with any keg-legged, long chin, frog eyes troll right now,” she wrote.

Speaking further, Toyin thanked her husband and others who have been supporting her.

“A Big thank you to my Amazing husband @segun_wealth@deeeunknown the Ghost of The Real Housewives of Lagos lol, for your sleepless nights, ups and downs. Thanks for being so selfless. And to all my Amazing friends and family (especially my brother I love him so much )who have been by my side day in day out. God bless you all. Catch up on The Real Housewives of Lagos. Important notice —- in simple English, it’s a Brain cyst & a degenerating spine, not a Brain tumour, cause I saw this on a blog . An implant of the C5 &C6 on the spine was needed. Correct yourselves please and listen to the doctor’s diagnoses well,” the 41-year-old added.
