Babatunji Wusu –
Tony Oneweek, a relative of famed Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor, has disclosed that the actor is suffering from kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke.
According to Tony, the star requires the assistance of Nigerians to fund his medication in order to survive.
Tony reported that Amaechi is getting weekly dialysis and physiotherapy to repair the disability caused by a stroke.
In a Facebook post accompanied by a photo of the thespian in a hospital bed, the performer said, “This picture was taken two weeks ago when I visited my cousin Amaechi Monagor (Aguiyi) at the Nnewi Teaching Hospital.” I had intended to silently assist as much as possible, but I later decided to make this article to clarify some points so that my friends, fans, and Amaechi’s fans, as well as the online community, are better informed.
“Amaechi is currently down with kidney disease, diabetes and stroke. He had been managing his diabetes over the years and living his life. He is presently undergoing weekly dialysis and other treatments at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi. His family had been shouldering the costs for years until the recent stroke made his case more serious and indeed more expensive to battle alone, hence the publicity.
“Within the limits of my own capabilities, I have done and am still doing my best to assist the much I can, even reaching out to well-meaning individuals who are donating to this cause. Contrary to most online publications, Amaechi is my first cousin. His father and my father are of the same father. We have had a wonderful relationship as members of the same industry and I am proud of him as a “brother”.
“Amaechi is so loved worldwide and his fans, friends and ndi Obosi have been wonderful so far. Many groups have been donating money for his hospital bills. As of today, there’s some improvement. His blood sugar is under control but he is still on admission, weekly dialysis, physiotherapy and other treatments. His full treatments and recovery require sustained funding or donations. No amount is too small. Pls, keep Amaechi and his family in your prayers. May God grant him full healing.
“Pls kindly donate to Amaechi Monagor’s First Bank plc account number 3036808437. God bless you now and always. Tony Oneweek Muonagor.”
