Veteran Nollywood
actor, Bruno Iwuoha, urgently needs help to restore his sight. He was a guest
recently on the Brekete Family Program on 104.5FM in Abuja. And while on air,
he opened up about his current battle with diabetes/glaucoma. He revealed that
he never knew he had diabetes until a violent armed robbery attack landed him
in hospital. He said:
“I’ve gone to
so many places; within the country, outside the country for treatment, until
finally…finally, the thing [diabetes] claimed one of my sight. As I look at you
now, I’m using only one sight. They call that glaucoma. And gradually, it’s
affecting the other one [eye]. So, naim make, apart from places…the people who
call me atimes, both the little cash they can give me…drugs and all that…but I
discovered that this thing [the illness] is a lifetime something.And it has
robbed me of the job [acting]. And now, if I get a script, it will be hard for
me to read it very well. And if I read it, if I strain my eyes for so long, it
would look as if someone would lead me around the house or anywhere I want to
go because it will affect the only one [eye]. So that’s my problem.”
The actor said he needs the help of kind-hearted Nigerians because he has been referred to a US-based hospital where he is required to have N3.5million. So far he has about N200,000.
He said he got to know that Jonathan gave AGN money but Ibinabo Fiberesima never assisted him with any money when he reached out to her.
