Veteran Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor has asked Nigerians for financial support for a kidney transplant in India.
On Monday, March 18, 2024, a video circulated on social media showing the beloved actor lying motionless in bed, pleading for help. Kingsley Orji, a fellow actor, was sitting next to Monagor and appealed to him.
Orji 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. He just came back from the ICU at Nnewi Teaching Hospital a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well."
Orji also revealed that kidney issues have caused speech issues for the ailing actor. "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,” he said.
The post caption read, "Special Public Appeal on our Veteran Nollywood actor Amechi Monagor, please my brothers and sisters lets help him more to go for the kidney transplant in india."
Early November 2023, Muonagor disclosed his kidney failure diagnosis, adding that he had a stroke and was paralysed on one side of his body
