Amaechi Muonagor Seeks Funds For Kidney Transplant

Published

on

In a heartfelt plea, Nollywood luminary, Kingsley Orji has rallied support for acclaimed actor Amaechi Muonagor, who is battling a serious health condition requiring a kidney transplant in India.

Orji, taking to social media, disclosed Muonagor’s recent discharge from the hospital due to financial constraints, highlighting the profound toll on his health and speech.

Urging fans and well-wishers to step forward, Orji emphasized the critical need for funding to facilitate Muonagor’s life-saving surgery abroad.

Orji, addressing supporters in both Igbo and English, conveyed the gravity of the situation: “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 us for him to travel to India.”

“He just came back from the ICU in Nnewi Teaching Hospital a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well.

“We decided to bring him home because there was no money but it is not advisable. He barely talks well. Please, he needs your help.”

While the exact amount required for the transplant surgery remained undisclosed, Orji facilitated contributions by providing Amaechi’s bank details and contact information for willing donors.

The disclosure comes after Tony Muonagor, Amaechi’s cousin, revealed in November 2023 the actor’s battle with a trifecta of health challenges: kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke.

As his condition deteriorated, Amaechi required regular dialysis sessions and physiotherapy at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital in Nnewi, Anambra, underscoring the severity of his medical struggles.

Olajumoke Onibread Accuses Ex-Husband Of Assault, Career Sabotage

Published

on

Model Olajumoke Orisaguna, popularly known as Olajumoke Onibread, has opened up about her traumatic experiences in her marriage, accusing her ex-husband, Sunday Orisaguna, of domestic violence and ruining her career.

In an interview with City FM, Olajumoke shared harrowing details of her past, highlighting the abuse she endured during her time in her ex-husband’s family home in Ire, Osun State.

“We stayed in my husband’s family house at Ire in Osun State, and there is no way you stay in such a place that you would not encounter problems,” she recounted.

Olajumoke revealed that her mother-in-law’s hostility exacerbated the situation, as her ex-husband often sided with his mother without hearing her perspective.

“He would not hear my own side of the story before beating me. Whenever I had a misunderstanding with his mother, he would beat me to the extent that my face and body would be swollen. Sometimes he would even use a belt,” she said.

She further explained how she kept the abuse hidden to avoid upsetting her mother, who also lived nearby. Despite the hardships, Olajumoke continued to support the family financially, as her husband was unemployed.

Reflecting on a pivotal moment in January 2016, Olajumoke described the day she decided to leave:
“We were frying akara for his dad’s remembrance when I had an issue with his elder sister. As usual, he beat me up, and I decided that I was going to leave, move to Lagos, and start working at the bakery because I had been there before.”

Three days later, she relocated to Lagos with her two children. According to Olajumoke, the separation led to further challenges as her ex-husband began tarnishing her reputation, contributing to her career’s decline.

“Everything started going down the drain after separation because he started spoiling my name. Since then, things started going down,” she lamented.

Olajumoke, who rose to fame in 2016 after a chance encounter during a photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah and photographer TY Bello, is now using her platform to shed light on the struggles she endured.

The model’s story has reignited conversations about domestic abuse and the societal pressures faced by women in similar situations.
