Veteran Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor has appealed to Nigerians for financial support so that he can receive a kidney transplant in India.
On Monday, March 18, 2024, a video circulated on social media showing the beloved actor lying motionless on a bed, pleading for help. Actor Kingsley Orji, who was seated next to Muonagor, made an appeal on his behalf.
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 him 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 further disclosed that the sick actor’s speech impairments are a result of his kidney problems.
