Veteran actor Amaechi Muonagor is currently undergoing weekly dialysis for a kidney-related disease.
This was disclosed by his cousin, actor Tony Muonagor, popularly known as Tony One Week, who also revealed that the actor is also battling with diabetes besides the stroke reported earlier in November.
Tony One Week who also shared a photo of his visit to the sick actor said he decided to make the public aware of his cousin’s health struggles for clarity and better information.
“This picture was taken two weeks ago when I visited my cousin Amaechi Monagor (Aguiyi) at the Nnewi Teaching Hospital. I initially had wanted to quietly assist the much I could, but later decided to make this post to clarify on some things so that my friends, fans and Amaechi’s fans and indeed the online community can be better informed,” he began.
“Amaechi is currently down with kidney disease, diabetes and stroke. He had been managing his diabetes over the years and living his life. He is presently undergoing weekly dialysis and other treatments at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi. His family had been shouldering the costs for years, until the recent stroke made his case more serious and indeed more expensive to battle alone, hence the publicity.”
“Within the limits of my own capabilities, I have done and is still doing my best to assist the much I can, even reaching out to well-meaning individuals who are donating to this cause.”
The comic actor stated that Amaechi’s condition has improved but he still needs to undergo weekly dialysis and physiotherapy.
“Amaechi is so loved worldwide and his fans, friends and ndi Obosi have been wonderful so far. Many groups have been donating money for his hospital bills.
