Amaechi Muonagor, a veteran actor, has appealed to compassionate Nigerians for financial support to undergo a kidney transplant in India.
In a circulating video, the seasoned actor was seen lying on a bed, visibly in distress, as he urgently requested assistance to alleviate his medical condition.
His colleague, Kingsley Orji, who was seated beside him, made an appeal on his behalf.
Orji revealed that Amaechi Muonagor left the teaching hospital a few days ago due to financial constraints.
He informed that the illness had affected his speech, imploring fans and well-wishers to contribute for a transplant surgery.
He said: “It has not been easy. He has been in this condition for months now. He wants to go for a kidney transplant. What we want is for you to help us for him to travel to India,” Orji said.
“He just came back from the ICU in Nnewi teaching hospital a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well.
“We decided to bring him home because there was no money but it is not advisable. He barely talks well. Please, he needs your help.”
