Beloved veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry with an emotional, tear-filled plea from her hospital bed, asking Nigerians to help save her life.
The veteran screen icon, who has graced Nigerian television screens for decades, revealed that she has been hospitalized for the past three weeks. In a heartbreaking video shared on her official Instagram account, Nwosu explained that her health has deteriorated severely and that she is currently battling intense physical pain.
An Urgent Cry for Financial Support
In her emotional address, Nwosu admitted that her medical condition has escalated beyond her personal resources. She pleaded with her loyal fans, colleagues, and the public not to abandon her during this dark hour, explaining that she has three major surgeries ahead of her.
Speaking from her sickbed, the actress shared: “My people, my fans, and my family, I know that you have not seen me in circulation for some time. I have been hospitalized now for three weeks. Please, the situation has gone beyond my control. I need your help. Don’t let me die.”
₦30 Million Needed for Critical Surgeries
Nwosu went on to disclose the heavy financial toll of her medical treatment, stating that the total cost for all three upcoming surgeries is ₦30 million. Unable to raise this massive sum alone, she called upon well-meaning Nigerians, corporate bodies, and philanthropists to assist her in securing the critical medical care she needs.
“I am going through a lot of pain. I have three surgeries to go through with. Please, don’t let me die,” she added, urging anyone who wishes to support her to reach out directly to her management team.
