Okafor’s wife and daughter were also in the video, beckoning on Nigerians to keep them in their prayers and lend financial assistance where necessary. His daughter noted that she has been shouldering the bills for as long as the actor has been ill. She also stressed that the family would prefer to fly him out of the country for more treatment.

She said, “I’ve been the one handling the bills and I am financially drained, we can’t do it alone. He’s not getting better, some days it looks like he is and other days it looks like he is getting worse.

“They want to move him to another hospital since he is not improving while we are staying there. We are requesting that Nigerian people or organizations fly Daddy overseas so he can receive better care. This is not the first time that Daddy has had such a breakdown.”

On October 17, the renowned comedian and actor celebrated his 62nd birthday with family in his hospital room. While sitting up in front of his cake in the video that was uploaded on his Facebook, Okafor was clearly in pain, and the leg that was hurting was swollen.
