Popular Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor’s health has worsened and a video of him on his hospital bed went viral online.
Recall that in November 2023, news of the movie star’s ill health became public knowledge after he got paralysed after suffering a stroke and was rushed to the hospital.
Many months later, the actor’s health has only deteriorated and a new video of him in the hospital made the rounds online.

In the viral clip, the movie star was seen with a plaster attached to his chest as he struggled to speak. However, he managed to beg God to heal him before his words became inaudible.
Muonagor’s actor colleague, Kingsley Orji, was also at the hospital and he pleaded with Nigerians on the sick actor’s behalf. According to him, the movie star needs funds to be flown to India for a kidney transplant.
Kingsley 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 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.”
The actor accompanied the video with more details for Nigerians to donate to the ailing movie veteran. He wrote in part:
“Special Public Appeal on our Veteran Nollywood actor Amechi Monagor, please my brothers and sisters, let's help him more to go for the kidney transplant in india.”
