Amaechi Muonagor, Veteran Nollywood Actor has called on his colleagues in the industry and well meaning Nigerians to come to his aid financially as he battles stroke.
The Actor shared pictures of himself on a wheelchair and lying down on a chair as he struggles with a paralyzing Stroke.
In a widely shared video, he was seen lying flat on his back, explaining how his ordeal began and the medical course he’s taken thus far. He explained how he was rushed to the hospital after his initial stroke , and stayed for several months.
However, because his condition showed no signs of recovery, he was sent to Nnewi Teaching Hospital in Anambra, where he is still receiving treatment.
Muonagor went on to explain that seven months ago, this misfortune befell him after he had just wrapped up a tasking 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 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.
