Another Nollywood actor needs
help urgently to restore his sight. Last
Tuesday 14th of July, veteran actor
Bruno Iwuoha was a guest on the
Brekete Family Program on 104.5FM in
Abuja. And while on air, he opened up
about his current battle with diabetes/
glaucoma.
According to the talented actor, he never
knew he had diabetes until a violent
armed robbery attack that landed him in
hospital. A series of test carried out on
him revealed that he has diabetes and
since then he has been managing it until
the condition affected his sight.
His words:
He said he got to know that
“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.
