Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor has made a public appeal for financial support as he battles with a stroke.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is hindered, resulting in numbness on one side of the body.
In a widely shared video, the actor disclosed that the left side of his body had been paralyzed for several months, and the stroke had occurred while he was on a movie set.
Apologizing to his fans for not revealing his condition earlier, he asked for their assistance.
“I am on set, this thing that is called stroke caught up with me. I was lucky I was not driving. They rushed me to the hospital. The first hospital was Nnewi, where I spent two months and I was referred to a teaching hospital here in Nnewi,” he said.
“I was to enter my car when I was struck with this problem and since then it is getting worse. Right now, I cannot move, I cannot work on my own. My left leg and left hand are paralyzed.
“It is a problem to breathe. I am so sorry, I did not make it known to the public early because I did not know it would last this long but as it is now, I need help.
“Anybody who is touched, that is my fan, this is the time. I am calling all my friends both inside Nollywood and outside that is the time they will help me.”
Mr. Ibu, another actor facing an undisclosed illness, also sought financial help last month.
Many individuals have already pledged their support for Amaechi Muonagor.
