Abiodun went on, "being an identical twin - very Identical, my twin brother Taiye Abiodun relocated to USA three years ago and lo and behold he was diagnosed for Prostate Cancer a year after his arrival, he had to undergo Prostate surgery in 2019. Before my surgery 2011, I went to meet my brother Professor Rowland Abiodun in USA to bid him farewell as I thought I would not come out from the Theatre room.

Phobia, stigma, social norms and beliefs still pose a major challenge to our society. In general our society always think that every illness is death sentence, "bewitchment", ostracization etc.
