Adisa took her brother for a full makeover, gifting him new clothes and a fresh haircut to give him a clean, confident new look.
Adisa opened up about challenges with brother
In videos shared on her TikTok page, he appears transformed, well-groomed and stylish, a sharp contrast to the dishevelled man she first ran into on the streets.
“We wanted to give him a new beginning, and that started with helping him feel good about himself,” she said.
However, Adisa also opened up about the challenges they are facing behind the scenes.
She revealed that her brother struggles with sudden anger spells and gets agitated over minor issues, making his adjustment to home life difficult.
“He is very eager to leave the house because he was not used to being in such a setting, so it feels like we irritate him,” Adisa explained.
Adisa to take brother to rehab
Realising that he needed professional help, the family managed to convince him to enter a rehabilitation centre.
The decision was made not only to help him manage his anger but also to remove him from environments that could trigger a relapse into alcohol use.
“We’re relieved that he agreed to go,” Adisa said, adding that the rehab facility will provide structure, counselling, and a safe space for healing.
She took a moment to thank her followers for their overwhelming support and kind words, which have been a source of encouragement during this emotionally intense period.
Despite the tough moments, Adisa remains optimistic.
“He’s been through a lot, but we believe he can heal, grow, and finally forget the street life he’s lived for years,” she shared.

"Sio anger, inaitwa anxiety disorder, huwa inapelekana na alcohol use disorder. Rehab itamsaidia ni three months tu."
