Almost a month after the public was made aware of Nigerian actor Mr Ibu’s health challenges yet another prominent figure from Nollywood has chosen to share his own battle with a serious ailment.
In a heartfelt video posted on Facebook, actor Amaechi Muonagor disclosed that he has been grappling with the effects of a stroke for the past seven months.
He said on the fateful day when the stroke struck him, he had wrapped up filming on a movie set and was preparing to enter his car.
Since that day, Mr Muonagor said he has endured an arduous journey of recovery, spending months within the confines of a hospital in an effort to regain his health.
“I am sick; this thing that is called stroke caught up with me, and from there, they rushed me to the hospital. The first hospital they rushed me to was in Nnewi, where I spent some two months. And I was referred to The Teaching Hospital Nnewi, and here I am.”
“In that set, I was with Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie and Ebele Okaro; at the end of that moment, I was to enter my car when I was struck with this problem, and since then, it’s getting worse. Right now, I cannot move; I can’t walk alone. All my left half is paralysed, so it’s a problem to me.”
However, despite his unwavering resilience, the actor said his health has not improved and has remained in a critical condition, facing a daunting battle against the consequences of the stroke.
