Veteran Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor has called on Nigerians for financial aid for a kidney transplant in India.

On Monday, March 18, 2024, a video making rounds on social media showed the beloved actor lying still on a bed, requesting aid. Sitting next to Muonagor was fellow actor Kingsley Orji who pleaded on his behalf.

Orji also revealed that the kidney issues have caused speech issues for the ailing actor. “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,” he said.

Early November 2023, Muonagor disclosed his kidney failure diagnosis, adding that he had a stroke and was paralysed on one side of his body.
