This is so sad! Veteran actor Bruno Iwuoha recently made a stop at 104.5FM, Abuja where he opened up on his battle with several life threatening ailments.
The talented actor talked about his battle with diabetes and how he had also been dealing with Glaucoma for several years without adequate money to finance a corrective surgery.
According to the actor, Nollywood has not helped him in anyway. The only thing they did was to come and collect the receipt of the money paid by another person but has not sent in anything till now.
A series of test carried out on him revealed that he has diabetes and since then he’s been managing it until the condition affected his sight.
According to Bruno: “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 added that 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.
