Actor Amaechi Muonagor battles stroke, cries out for help

Veteran Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor is paralyzed.

The veteran Nollywood actor, in a video that surfaced on social media Friday, could be seen struggling to speak as he introduced himself with a brief explanation of his condition.

Muonagor said this while crying out for help, as he is currently battling paralysis. He said half of his left leg is paralyzed.

“I’m sick; this thing that is called a 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,” Muonagor said.

“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, so it is a problem for me.

“I’m calling on well-minded individuals to come to my assistance and see how they can help me. It is paralysis, half of my body,” he said.

Chronicle NG reports that this is coming days after another veteran actor, Mr Ibu, who is currently hospitalized,  cried out to the general public for help as he battles an ailment that could get him amputated.
