Alice Nankinga, the second year student from Makerere University Business School [MUBS] doing a Bachelors in Human Resource Management was finally granted her dying wish after she met the musician she admires most, Sheebah Karungi.
On hearing that Sheebah Karungi would be performing at the ‘Comedy Store’ show hosted by Alex Muhangi every Thursday, the ill Nankinga rushed to Dinners to have a glimpse at her fave musician.
She was later given the opportunity to meet Sheebah and while on stage, sent teary message; “I was diagnosed with cancer, and the doctor recently told me I have only two weeks to live. I came here tonight so I can meet you before I die,” she cried.
“Sheebah I love you so much. I was home moments ago with my sister when I learnt that you are performing here at Diners tonight. I had to come because I have always craved to meet you.”
Sheebah was taken aback as she took in what she had just heard from the frail Kinga and couldn’t help but cry. She [Sheebah] then sang for her “Nkwatako” her favourite song after which she gave Nankinga her jacket as souvenir.
Nankinga is suffering from Malignant Teratoma. In Feb 2015, she was diagnosed with 2 tumors. One in her spleen and the other in the ovary. She then underwent an operation and the spleen tumor was removed together with her reproductive system.
Nankinga says that in Feb 2016, she underwent an operation after her digestive system collapsed and a tumor was removed from her stomach.
