Foremost Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor is appealing to Nigerians to aid him financially in carrying out a kidney transplant in India.
A video circulating social media shows the popular actor lying on a bed and pleading for financial assistance.
The appeal was being made by his Nollywood colleague, Kingsley Orji who sat close to him.
According to Orji, the inability of Amaechi Muonagor to sustain his treatment financially culminated in his leaving the teaching hospital some days past.
Orji further informed that the illness has contributed to his inability to speak hence pleaded that friends and well wishers should come to his aid at this trying times.
“It has not been easy. He has been in this condition for months now. He wants to go for a kidney transplant. What we want is for you to help us for him to travel to India,” Orji said.
“He just came back from the ICU in Nnewi teaching hospital a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well.
“We decided to bring him home because there was no money but it is not advisable. He barely talks well. Please, he needs your help.”
It is of memory that in November 2023, Amaechi Muonagor had solicited for help after he revealed that he was struck down by paralysis which affected the left half of his body.
His words: “I’m 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 Teaching Hospital Nnewi and here I am.
“I was on a movie set with Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro. I was about to enter my car when I was struck with this problem and since then it has been getting worse. Right now, I can’t move, I can’t walk on my own. Half of my left leg is paralyzed, my left hand is not movable, so it is a problem for me.
“I’m calling on well spirited individuals to come to my assistance, to see how they can help me. It is paralysis, half of my body.”
