Aproko Doctor Reveals He Never Enjoyed His Childhood Because Poverty Gave Him No Room To, Says There Were No Vacations, No Fancy Toy, And Most Times Not Enough Food

Egemba Chinonso Fidelis popularly known as Aproko Doctor, is a Nigerian doctor, health influencer and an actor.

He is the founder of Healthy Brands and 100K Club, a non-profit organisation.

He recently went down memory lane, sharing a photo of his crib and how he’s now living his dream life.

Aproko Doctor revealed he never enjoyed his childhood because poverty gave him no room to, he narrated how the childhood he dreamed of was not the one he lived, because there were no vacations., No fancy toys.and often, not enough food. Aproko doctor went further to share what propelled him to achieve his dream.

He wrote:

I didn’t enjoy my childhood.

And no, it wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but because poverty gave me no room to.

The childhood I dreamed of was not the one I lived.

There were no vacations.

No fancy toys.

And often, not enough food.

But there were books.

Books that let me leave our cramped home and walk the streets of cities I’d never seen.

Books that helped me sit with characters from places I couldn’t pronounce.

Books that helped me live in the shoes of other people

This helped me build empathy…

Those pages didn’t just help me imagine a better life.

They made me believe one was possible.

They made me curious.

And they made me human.

That same empathy now sits at the heart of everything we do at Aproko Doctor.

Whether we’re teaching someone how to manage hypertension in simple, local terms… we put ourselves in their shoes.

Or helping them catch early signs of disease through a video that feels more like gist than a lecture. We know what they feel.

And when we built @AskAwaDoc, that same childhood empathy followed us into product design.

Because we didn’t just want to build “a smart AI health assistant.”

We wanted to build something that felt human.

Something that didn’t just diagnose, but listened.

That didn’t ask you to type perfect grammar before you could be taken seriously.

Something that understood where you were coming from, because we’d come from there too.

So yes, my childhood was hard.

But maybe that’s what gave me the heart for this work.

Because sometimes, what looks like survival…ends up being the first step in service.
