ONE NATION FOR JANET CONCERT

One Nation for Janet concert took place yesterday at the Carnivore grounds and has raised millions of shillings towards the treatment of Janet Kanini Ikua for cancer. The concert was hosted by Churchill, and featured performances by Sauti Sol, Elani, Ben Githae, Jaguar, Ministry of Mouth, Daddy Owen, Solomon Mkubwa, Big Pin, Octopizzo, Beauty for Ashes from Rwanda among other acts. Part of the money will go to the Children’s Cancer Ward at Kenyatta National Hospital. In April this year, the N-Soko property show host Janet Kanini Ikua was diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) that resulted in blood clots in her legs. The DVT led to further complications and Janet had to be urgently hospitalised a second time with blood clots in her heart and pulmonary artery. Even after this, the DVT kept recurring and Janet decided to seek further intervention in India. In September,Janet, accompanied by her husband George Ikua, travelled to New Delhi, where doctors broke the news that she had Stage 4 cancer, which had spread from her lungs to her abdomen and lymph nodes. The event was attended by her friends, colleagues, artistes and media personalities.
