The Nigerian entertainment industry is plunged into mourning once again as news of the passing of veteran Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor, surfaces. The actor, who had been battling kidney disease for several months, reportedly breathed his last despite efforts to save his life, including seeking treatment in India.
The heartbreaking announcement was shared on Twitter by Morris Monye, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of the talented actor. Muonagor’s presence on the screens of Nollywood was described as masterful, highlighting his significant contribution to the Nigerian film industry.
A year prior, Muonagor’s health had struggles, including paralysis resulting from a stroke. In a poignant video, the legendary actor appealed for assistance from fans and colleagues, detailing the onset of his illness. Despite battling kidney disease, diabetes, and the aftermath of a stroke, Muonagor continued to undergo weekly dialysis and physiotherapy treatments in his quest for recovery.
In a recent plea for financial support, Muonagor’s deteriorating health condition underscored the urgent need for medical intervention, particularly a kidney transplant in India. His impassioned appeal for assistance resonated across Nigeria, emphasizing the challenges faced by many in accessing adequate healthcare.
The passing of Amaechi Muonagor marks the fourth loss to hit Nollywood in a month, further underscoring the fragility of life within the industry. Earlier casualties include Nollywood producer and marketer, Ikechukwu Nnadi, popularly known as Andy Best, who succumbed to illness at a private clinic in Owerri. Additionally, the industry mourned the loss of Yoruba actor Sisi Quadri and veteran actor Mr Ibu, both of whom battled health complications before their demise.
