British national who survived River Nile accident builds Shs1bn hospital

Leeds, who is a property investor, revealed that he is a billionaire in Uganda shillings.

Below is his testimony:

"I had a really bad accident and almost died by falling down a waterfall on the River Nile and landing straight onto the rocks. 

Unfit to fly home, stuck in Uganda, left for dead 💀

Dr Jamela saved my life. She was one of the very few Ugandan orthopaedic surgeons that just happened to be in the area the day of my accident. 

Whilst in hospital for 10 days, I saw the drastic needs. No space and not a single orthopaedic surgeon on site 💔

This is what prompted the construction of this new 64 bed hospital ward which is filled with new doctors, nurses and resident surgeons 🥲

Guess who the surgeons are reporting directly to? Dr Jamela. 

So many people said it wouldn’t be possible, the government wouldn’t allow me to build it, it would take years to build, it would cost billions to build ⛔️

These doubters didn’t realise that I am not just a billionaire in Uganda, but also a competent property developer. It took 7 months and cost just over 1 billion shillings only (£300,000 with all costs and exchange rate) 

This is the same cost as buying a Lamborghini. Kind of sickening. Nothing wrong with driving one, but perhaps consider building a hospital ward first? 🤷‍♂️

I am a huge advocate for making money, but only when you remember the dark places you came from and use your money to help others, as well as living a nice life of course. 

God put me in that pit for a reason, and what the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good 🙏🏻

I am returning home tomorrow, but will never forget this week. A legacy that will live on for centurys 💕"

Ugandans took to social media to thank him.
