<h2>Veteran Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor has called on Nigerians for financial aid for a kidney transplant in India.</h2>

<p>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 Monagor was fellow actor <strong>Kingsley Orji </strong>who pleaded on his behalf.</p>

<p>Orji said, <em>"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."</em></p>

<p>Orji also revealed that the<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/nollywood-actor-amaechi-muonagor-is-battling-kidney-disease-stroke/y626g3h"> kidney issues</a> have caused speech issues for the ailing actor. <em>"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,” </em>he said.</p>

<p>The post caption read, "<em>Special Public Appeal on our Veteran Nollywood actor Amechi Monagor, please my brothers and sisters lets help him more to go for the kidney transplant in india."</em></p>

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

<p>Narrating what happened he said,<em> "I’m sick, this thing that is called stroke caught up with me, and from there they rushed me to the hospital. The first hospital they rushed me to was in Nnewi, where I spent some two months and I was referred to Teaching Hospital Nnewi and here I am. I was on a movie set with Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro. I was about to enter my car when I was struck with this problem, and since then it has been getting worse."</em></p>

<p>He also asked Nigerians to come to his aid, saying <em>"I’m calling on well-minded individuals to come to my assistance, to see how they can help me. It is paralysis, half of my body. Right now, I can’t move, I can’t walk on my own. Half of my left leg is paralyzed, so it is a problem for me."</em></p>
