Tony Oneweek, the cousin to Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor has called on Nigerians to help the actor who is currently battling for his life.
The singer in a lengthy Facebook post on Monday, noted that the actor is down with kidney disease, diabetes and strokes.
He added that Amaechi has been undergoing weekly dialysis and physiotherapy to treat the paralysis brought on by stroke.
Sharing a photo of him with the actor on his sick bad, Tony Oneweek wrote: “This picture was taken two weeks ago when I visited my cousin Amaechi Monagor at the Nnewi Teaching Hospital. I initially wanted to quietly assist the way I could but later decided to make this post so that the online community could be better informed.
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 am still doing my best to assist the much I can, even reaching out to well-meaning individuals who are donating to this cause. Contrary to most online publications, Amaechi is my first cousin. His father and my father are of the same father. We have had a wonderful relationship as members of the same industry and I am proud of him as a brother.
“Many groups have been donating money for his hospital bills. As of today, there’s some improvement. His blood sugar is under control but he is still on weekly dialysis, physiotherapy and other treatments.
His full treatments and recovery require sustained funding. No amount is too small. Pls, keep Amaechi and his family in your prayers. May God grant him full healing.
“Pls kindly donate to Amaechi Monagor’s First Bank plc account number 3036808437. God bless you now and always. Tony Oneweek Muonagor.”(sic).
