‘Please help me, I can’t move my legs,’ another ailing Nollywood actor cries out
Nollywood icon, Amaechi Muonagor has appealed to his colleagues, fans and friends to come to his aide sharing his recent struggle with a paralyzing stroke.
In a widely circulated video, the ailing actor was seen flat on his back, sharing the nitty-gritty of how the stroke ordeal reared its ugly head and the medical path he’s been treading thus far.
He recounted how he was swiftly whisked to the hospital in the wake of his initial stroke attack, where he stayed for a few months. However, as his condition showed no signs of improvement, he found himself relocated to Nnewi Teaching Hospital in Anambra, where he currently undergoes treatment.
Amaechi went on to explain that seven months ago, on a day fated for misfortune, he had just wrapped up a taxing shoot alongside his colleagues Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro on a movie set. Just as he was preparing to hit the road in his car, he found himself suddenly struck by a debilitating stroke.
Since that ill-fated day, the actor revealed that his stroke condition has been deteriorating. He can no longer move his legs or walk independently, and half of his body is now paralyzed. He apologized for not sharing this publicly earlier, as he never anticipated the illness would persist for so long.
Now, he is reaching out to kind-hearted Nigerians, seeking financial assistance for his paralysis, which has caused significant swelling in parts of his body and rendered him unable to eat. He also mentioned that during his three-month stay at the current hospital, they have run out of the necessary medications for his treatment.
Amaechi added that he is in desperate need of help from his colleagues, fans, and friends.
