A dad-of-five battling aggressive bowel cancer has told of his heartbreak after losing his wife to the same illness. Devastated friends of Omena Ubiaro fear his young boys could lose both their parents within weeks of one another. Omena, 38, had been battling Stage 4 bowel cancer for two years when wife Makeda was diagnosed with the disease last August.

Makeda, also 38, underwent emergency surgery but could not be saved by doctors and died on July 29.

Her death during Omena’s battle with cancer has sparked fears for the couple’s five sons, aged from seven to 19, as friends launched a fundraising page to support the family.

As part of the appeal, Omena said the death of his beloved wife and ongoing fight against cancer is the “toughest thing” he has ever dealt with.

So far, more than £8,000 has been raised.



In an emotional video filmed from a hospice in Wolverhampton, where Omena is receiving round-the-clock care, the grieving dad appears gaunt as he is hooked up to machines from his bed.

Omena said: “I just want to say thank you so much to everybody that has been supporting myself and my family. “Recently, myself and my five boys we’ve just lost my wife, they’ve lost a mother and I’ve also lost a best friend as well.

“It’s been difficult for the boys, it’s been difficult for myself. “I cannot lie it has been the most toughest thing that a husband and a father’s ever had to face or deal with but it’s only been easier with support and help from friends.”



Omena has openly discussed his battle with bowel cancer through a series of YouTube videos in which he said he believed his faith would help him overcome the disease.

Makeda was admitted to hospital for colostomy surgery but her cancer spread and she died on July 29.

Her funeral is due to take place next month with money generated from a Gofundme page expected to help cover costs.

You are uk based yet you want Nigerians based in Nigeria To Help you

people that can't feed thrice daily.


pls stick to begging over there.

you are even lucky that you are based in the uk, at least you can get proper treatment, if you were living in Nigeria sorry would have been your name.

Some hospitals turn off oxygen and turn on the fan for their patients

Nigerians need to help themselves before they can help anyone else. the only thing u will get is sympathy. how does one get bowel cancer tho?

Nah..not contagious .

Pahaps, coincidence or both shared some risk factors such as inflammatory bowel disease, cigarette use, chronic alcohol abuse, colonic polyps , positive family history, dietary factor ( diets not rich in vegetables and fruits)

You are not the one to tell anyone at all how many kids they should have,
As long as they can take good care of their kids, it's none of your business
You are not the one taking care of them
It's not your money they are spending
