The news na kuja wa 254 on your show, I was so excited for having you. You're welcome. We're also excited to have you. Thank you so much. So tomi uli grow upi. When you grow up, kagiwa sigiwa moneji uko kere niya na counter. So I grew up in Kirinaya County with the family of, at the moment I was the first born. And my daddy is a pastor, that's the background. All right. So at what point did you know that you had cancer? Also I accredited to go because what happened is for no reason dadali alijkua glas. The time we were in Kirinaya County, we had alijkua glas and we were in a party. But instead of my hand when it was the glass, he leaned away from the glass. So we went to the devil's truck again. So what happened nearly to Pelika? We had a family friend who happened to have a clinic. We went to Pelika just to know how it's happened. Just because of lack of equipment, how it was that we figured out what exactly was going on. But this much alitombia that my left eye was not seen. Just your left eye? Yeah, just my left eye was not seen. So I referred to Mbujenu Hospital. In Mbujenu Hospital is where they said we needed to go to operation like immediately. Now what they meant by needed to go to operation like immediately was they needed to take my eyes out. So my dad being the man of Fabia is like I said, this must not be the final result we are going to. Let me cut you short, kabluendele. How old were you at that point? I was an year and a few months, this was 2001. So we got a referral to Kenyatta Hospital. We hoped maybe to report a different report. So on arrival to Kenyatta Hospital there we were to the same place. Yeah, in order to save my life they needed to get into operation. And did you understand what was going on? Yeah, I was there at the time. So my parents, there is a form that you are granted in order for you to allow the person to go on. My dad at the point permitted the one that they were to remove the eye that was not seen. Because something was happening that even the doctors at the time could not understand. Both of my eyes were diagnosed with the same condition. And now... Which cancer was it? Red Timor Blastono. And now what they were trying to stop was the cancer from spreading to the brain. Because the eyes were right on. So my dad said the one that cannot see. And they did the operation. And by favor the doctors noted that my parents were not letting at the point maybe they were going a lot. This again is a lot of news to handle for a young couple who had just had their first born. So the doctors contacted Germany and explained that we have Josh Omaina and this is his condition. This is what he is facing. And two days after Fax came in. And it said that if you can be able to lift the kid right now. Can you try to save his life. So this was a ray of hope for my dad who at the time was saying this has not to be the final result that we are going to. So my dad went and tried to figure out how to get the documentation and the tickets and what have you. And I was left with my mum. And shortly after my dad had a kupata, kupata the documentation and whatever we needed to fly out. And when it came the day to fly out. My dad did something that I believe was like changing of for me my past perception. He said he made a deal with God. I said ma go with my family in church when I come. At the moment my dad was a pastor of church and he was one of the members of six people. Six people. He was processing to the children members. So just to backdate that in the next sense. My mum when she was in high school they had this principle. I kind of hope for something that if at all you take German as a language. Now you fail very well and after high school you may give your sponsorship to go to Germany. So at this time now, first forward to now, my mum was fluent in German. So we flew out to Germany and stayed there for some six months. And they just called my mother after some time and told her that we have done all that we could do. We have tried our best. So go back to Kenya and you will be attending clinics and therapy sessions for the last two weeks short anticipated life. How long were you given? Did they give you a timeline of how long you're supposed to live? The one that was given was before I did the operation that was less than a month. The first diagnosis? When I was in Kenyatta, they said if we don't do anything this is less than a month. Really? Yeah. And cancer being something that requires a lot of money to deal with and to make sure that everything is sorted out. Who was catering for the bills when you went for your operation to Germany? This was amazing. When we were in Kenyatta before, they said we needed to relate to Germany with the immediate action. At that time, as soon as the facts came in and all my bills were paid. All your bills? All my bills were paid. Even to this day we have tried to figure out who it was. Up to now you've never known who paid your bills. I believe it could have only been God because I don't know how that would have turned out. Somebody cleared the bills, cleared everything. I now fast forward now to when we were in Germany and we were told to go back. My mum was told to go back because they had done all they could do. And at this time their conscience was at ease. And if I told them it was something to fight, they fought the battle. So my mum packed everything and we went. My mum packed everything and now we were headed to Kenya. Because we were given the diagnosis that we needed to attend some therapy sessions for the short anticipated life that was remaining for me. But another thing supernatural happened, I'll call it. On the first clinic, first therapy session in Kenya, in Kenyatta Hospital, there was no cancer. There was no trace of cancer. So even the doctors were looking at the reports from Germany. So from the time when you came back to Kenya and the time you went for your first therapy session, in aspan of how many months? In aspan of a month. So there was even a conclusion they were looking at both reports and asking how could this be? Why would this be? So basically we have even done a song with Mubu and the tone of that song was bigger than cancer. Because you know when you look at cancer in this time and age it has become such a monstrous that once you get that, that's the end of you. That's the end, there is no hope. So in that my daddy having faced the same thing as young. Please talk to us about that before we go on. So my dad, when he was young also he was diagnosed with cancer. What type of cancer? I don't know if this is Latino, I'm not sure about that. But he was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, slightly older than me. And he fought that for it. So even him, Akiyongilesha, the doctors with the confidence he had that this could not be the end. He had a background of cancer that he was going through. So also his cancer got cured? Yeah he got cured. Completely. So let's go back Kidogo. When you were flying out to Germany and your dad said that he'll not accompany you. Why did he make that choice? From my perspective looking at it, I think it was a moment in his faith where he said he made a deal with God. A covenant with God of some sort. That kindly we end up in a family. I mean touch on Ayako. So yeah I think that's what was in his mind. That was the reason. That was the reason. Okay. After you got to Kenyatta Hospital for your therapy session and they discovered that there was no cancer. What happened after that? Obvious, you can imagine the peace that now flooded my view. How old were you? Coming back because I went to Germany. I was living in Kenya for a year with few months so I came back six months. So roughly two years. Okay. So you can imagine the peace, the joy that flooded my young parents who at the time had gone against us to ensure that their son would still be on this side of heaven. Yes. So I'm sure you talk to your parents and all of you together talk about this issue. What do they tell you? What was going through their mind at that time? And how are they dealing with it? To be honest on the side of mum because I also have them pictures. Mum told me it was a hard time, a challenging time. Mind you I'm the first born. And you were the only child at that time. So this was a tough time and for my mum especially who was in me during those therapy sessions, who was with me. You know when you are getting treatment for cancer what usually happens is you are given a medicine that temporarily puts you to sleep. You know what I mean by that. So that you can be entered into that machine. So my mum used to watch me enter that machine for some time and you can imagine. There is usually no guarantee for the ones you are under that drug. And for a young baby you have to understand that he will wake up again. It was a new biting moment for her. Watching that every day. So finally them experiencing whatever the result that was. That their son was rid of that and now you could move on with your life. That has in my perspective had to be a confirmation that God is real and that he really comes for those who call upon him. So since that time I believe that you've met people who are going through cancer. Yes. How do you relate to them? What do you tell them? Considering that you battle and you beat cancer. It's evident people have approached me because you can see I was left with a scar. To show that the life drew me a battle and God was victorious. People approached me for my story. People even maybe at the service you may not know what they are dealing with. And after sharing my story I see this glance of hope that only somebody who has it at the first hand can be experiencing. And the feedback I usually get. I have heard in several situations somebody tell me man I'm going through it right now. And this just gave me. You started with something that where there is hope there is a will. Yes. And they say that this has given me hope and has given me the will to fight. And you know when there is a will there is a way. I actually had that from you. I had that from you. Yes. And since that time when you found out that there was no cancer. What has been, have you ever gone back to the hospital again for any treatments or? For cancer? Yes. No that was it. That was it. And this is 18 years later. 18 years later. So what I think now for me the battle that I was left to fight was because now that happened when I was young. As I grew up I had to ask myself some questions on why this had to happen to me. What maybe I did I deserve to get it. Oh yeah. And I won't lie at a point in my life I passed through depression. But all that changed when I found my purpose. Let me just cut you short before you go on. When you're thinking about that and asking yourself why did this happen to me? Is it because that people are looking at you differently just because it's only one of your eyes that can function and that is putting pressure on you? Was that one of the reasons? As a young kid. Yes. Yes that was part of it. And the other one was that I saw children with maybe I will call it a normal or some sort who had children who didn't have to go through it. So I asked myself why did I have to be the one who went through it. And that question I quickly answered it when I got my purpose. And my purpose in life is to help people live a successful life. As I mentioned not only people who are going through cancer. As you are I'm sure you are conscious of people are in this time and age are going through depression. Yeah a lot. People are fighting with self image. People are doing all sorts of things to try to improve on themselves. Because people have that feeling of less than or... I'm not enough. Exactly. So I have again and again encountered this. I think was the people who assisted me personally to find out okay this is not what I'm looking at it. If I shift my focus on it it can be something different. Somebody once approached me it was a girl. Told me that I have been fighting with my weight. And just seeing the way you are confident. Seeing the way that you are not afraid to share your story. You have given me a new perspective on it. You've given her hope. Exactly. So I found okay this word hope is recurring in my life from different mouths. Even after I tell a story to whoever I told it to. In their word trying to give me the feedback to my story. They had to invite the word hope. So okay I noted that now this is my purpose. Yes. And now I started looking for a medium of how I was going to spread this message of hope. I looked should I be a presenter. I sort of okay maybe talent. Yungu yako engage ya fika. I looked around and I saw the way medium that I could have passed this message at a large scale. Was through music. Yes. And that's where my everything changed for me. And now I looked at it from a different perspective. Okay. So assuming that you met a person who was just giving up his or her diagnosis of cancer today or yesterday. What would you tell them? Don't lose hope. Cause if at all I taking back to my story. If I told my dad and my mom lost hope. And stopped fighting. Cause at the time or against them. It would have been different. They would have never met. So the message that I would tell that person is please. I know it would not be easy. You say trying to pass a fantasy would be a lie on my side. It would not be easy but as much as you can. Please cling on to that hope. And there is this illustration in photosynthesis where they put a plant in a box. Cover it. Then make a hole in the other corner. After some time that plant will live to that light. So if at all there is a ray of hope in whatever. Cling to it. Just cling to it and focus on it. You are given a month to live and here you are written later. Yes. Talk to us now about let's get into your music. Was it you battling cancer or fighting cancer? The reason that got you to music? Or did you have a talent deep down? What do you mean by that? Okay. Before let's assume that cancer was not there. Would you still do music now? Yeah I would still do music. So it was a talent. That was just what brought out the talent. Exactly. It was just part of my story. But I would not. Because it's part of my story. I cannot turn a blind ear to it. It was part of it. Because what I used to do in how I started music was in high school. I noted that even by ABCD maybe my passion was not there. So what I used to do is I used to go in the corner and just write songs. And this kept me occupied at the moment to channel my thoughts. Because I had some time where I had to battle thoughts. And you know how thoughts can be suggested sometimes, either on the negative or the positive. So what I used music at that point to do relating it to cancer was I used to use the craft of creating songs to keep my mind in a certain place that I wanted it to be. It just happened that the songs I was writing at the time were full. For like poems or letters to myself about who. Okay. Good. So let's talk about greater than cancer, bigger than cancer. Who got to who? Is it you or the movie? What happened is we have been meeting with movie previously in different occasions. But on this specific time we met in Kericho. In Kericho we had some time to talk. And I shared my story. And he himself also opened something I never knew that his mum had passed from cancer in 1999. Right about the time you were born. I was born in 1999. So I believe in destiny connectors and I believe in perfect timing and I believe that all things work together for good. So through that we exchanged contacts and we had conversations from there and we asked ourselves how we can add this conversation of cancer and change the perspective of people. Okay. So tell us about that song. Bigger than cancer with movie is how to release it just a few days ago. And the purpose of this song is I say that we are not selling just false hope. We are not just trying to come and delude people and tell them that okay now this is all done, it's all false. But what we are trying to bring to the conversation is bring that hope. To bring that hope the chorus goes God is bigger than cancer This I know, this I know There is nothing impossible Nothing's too hard for him When he steps in the room He will make all things new As I gave the illustration with the box I want, oh we want people to shift their focus from the trouble from the problem which is the cancer and focus it on God and just like that little plant yielding itself to the light once you take away your mind from the problem and focus it on God So that's the purpose of the song Like you say you're not here to give people false hope because you've been through that and I believe the best person to give someone hope is someone who has gone through whatever you're trying to to give them hope too And I want us to wind up but before we do could you please share with us your social media pages where someone can find you in your music and you can tell them if they wanted to talk to you I believe now that you are where you are you have so much to tell people and talk to them about there's someone maybe who is going through something deeper and they would like to talk to you So in my social media account is Prince George P-R-I-N-C-Y-J-W-O-S-H Prince George on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and social media on YouTube and if you would message me then we'll talk and link up So since you're here and you said that your purpose is to give people hope have you encountered people that you've actually met with talked with and they got out of what they were battling with or dealing with other than the lady who was struggling with how it was Ya, personally I have something initiative that I call class of the 21st century and what it consists of is making people conscious that we may have all sorts of differences in our minds but we all share one thing that is the basis of life which is life itself So through that initiative I usually go to high schools I talk to you, they have people who I mentor and I have seen cases of depression and I will not credit myself from people in high school from people in university even people who are old enough to be my parents So I have seen people come with depression people come with low self image and I will not credit it only to myself because I have a team that I work with and I have a testimony now and I used to battle with that and some of those people are the ones who are part of my team so I hope the power of hope is hope if you could understand if you could just give somebody hope you will find the other way so that's what we try to present and it has worked marvelously we have to know So thank you so much for making time to join us so I want you to give your last words to someone who is going through something my advice is this about the power of the mind I want you to focus on the right things because the mind can be divided into two parts theoretically speaking you can divide it into the negative part and the positive part if you focus on the negative part they thought to be generated which will tell you are less than you are nobody all those that will make you feel low and feel as if you don't deserve to be here and on the other side there is positive thoughts which is the creative part where you can focus on happy thoughts things that will ensure that there is progress in your life so choose the positive side that's my only message now so thank you so much once again thank you for having me and we hope that you continue delivering that message of hope thank you we will surely do kindly tell us your social media pages once more I'm Princy George P-R-I-N-C-Y-J-W-O-S-H Princy George on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter all social media platforms and also YouTube alright thank you thank you so much so as you've heard from Princy George he is here to deliver a message of hope and you need to stick to the positive thoughts so that's all we had for you on Real Talk today but don't you go anywhere more of Isakit coming your way and up next is bigger than cancer Princy George in Movie and Movie
