Famous Nollywood actor John Amaefule was taken to the hospital this morning in Owerri after having a stroke. His family is asking Nigerians for help. He is at FMC Owerri right now, and he needs money to stay alive. The stroke has impacted the left side of his brain, which is probably why the right side of his body is weak. Doctors have advised important tests to better understand and take care of his health. These tests include a Lipid Panel Test, Hemoglobin A1C Test, Electrolyte Urea Test, and Creatinine Test.
Growing Worry About the Health of Nollywood Veterans
Amaefule’s health issues have highlighted the problems that older Nollywood actors face with their health and well-being. Many people in the industry don’t have good health insurance and often need help from the government when they have serious health problems.
Fans, coworkers, and groups in the Nollywood community are being asked to help the sick actor by giving money for his treatment and recovery.
The Nollywood industry and many people in Nigeria are hoping John Amaefule gets better. They are praying for his strength and healing during this tough time.
