“He is currently hospitalised in
Lagos due to kidney related ailment, and urgently needed to be taken to Indian
for a transplant that will gulp N11 million.”
He added that another Nollywood
actor, Romanus Amunta, popularly known as Natty, was also critically down with
paralysis in Enugu State.
According to Awoji, it is in its
effort to intervene that FWON recently inaugurated its “Save a Soul”
intervention campaign geared towards raising funds for the medical care of the
ailing actors.
“As an NGO within Nollywood that
seeks to ensure the wellbeing of filmmakers, especially on health related
issues, FWON has decided to intervene.
“We decided to cry out to
Nigerians of goodwill, and everyone who loves Nollywood to give towards saving
these precious souls.”
He explained that movie
producers, actors, fans, other Nigerians of goodwill had donated towards the
intervention funds, but the required amount was yet to be realised.
“So far, we have only got less
than a million naira, and we had to quickly send delegates to Lagos and Enugu
to take care of their immediate medical needs.
“We are still hoping and we are
calling on everyone to contribute towards this rescue mission.’’
According to him, FWON was
planning other options possible, including visiting corporate bodies, Area
councils and Humanitarian organisations to expediently raise the required
funds.
“Only Nollywood cannot do it; we
therefore need the help of everyone as quickly as possible to save our
brothers.”
Mr. Uche is a former vice
president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
He is still struggling with the
illness that has kept him off the screen for over eight years now.
