Another Nollywood Legend Hospitalised, Seeks Financial Aid
Veteran Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor is seeking financial assistance from Nigerians as he battles a debilitating illness.
Amaechi, who has been hospitalized, shared his plight from his hospital bed, explaining that he suffered a stroke seven months ago.
The stroke left him paralyzed, with the inability to move his legs and walk independently, as half of his body was affected.
The actor recounted the unfortunate day when he had just finished a film shoot with colleagues such as Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro.

Amaechi expressed regret for not sharing his condition with the public earlier, believing it would be a short-lived illness.
He now appeals to well-wishers and Nigerians for financial support to cover his medical expenses, as he is currently receiving treatment at Nnewi Teaching Hospital in Anambra.
The actor revealed that he urgently needs medications that have run out at the hospital and is facing severe swelling and difficulties in eating due to his paralysis.
This is coming days after another Nollywood legend, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, cried to the public for financial assistance to prevent his leg from being amputated.
