Nigerian man who donated his own bone marrow to his sister 13 years ago celebrated on Twitter

A Nigerian lady and Sickle Cell survivor, Samira Sanusi, took to twitter to celebrate her brother, Musty Sanusi, who donated his bone marrow to save her 13 years ago, which was transplanted into her in Vienna, Austria in 2004.


Since then, she has devoted her life to fighting sickle cell by creating awareness, supporting other less fortunate young people with the condition emotionally and financially via a foundation she started the Samira Sanusi Sickle Cell Foundation.

Celebrating him, she wrote;

“13 years ago today @mustysanusi gave me his Bone Marrow/Stem Cells which cured me of Sickle Cell Anaemia” she wrote.
He was also crowned a hero by Twitter users.
