Veteran Nigerian actress, Ngozi Nwosu, has appealed to the public for financial support to fund three urgent, undisclosed, and life-saving surgeries.
Nwosu disclosed that she had been admitted for three weeks with severe pain.
The visibly emotional actress made the appeal from her hospital bed in a heartfelt video on her Instagram page on Thursday.
She appealed to fans, friends and family members not to abandon her during the difficult period.
Addressing her supporters, Nwosu explained why she had been absent from public view in recent weeks.
“My people, my fans and my family, I know that you’ve not seen me in circulation for some time. I’ve been hospitalized now for three weeks.
“Please, the thing has gone beyond my control. I need your help, don’t let me die.”
The veteran actress said she remained hopeful that she would overcome the health challenge but pleaded for support as she continued to endure severe pain.
“I know that you people never forsake me and I know that God will always see me through, but I’m begging you, my friends and family, don’t let me die because I am going through a lot as in pain.”
Nwosu also urged anyone willing to assist to contact her management team, concluding her appeal with a prayer.
“My sickness will never be anybody’s portion. In Jesus’ name, thank you.”
Although the actress did not disclose the nature of her illness, she revealed in an earlier appeal that she requires three surgeries, with the procedures expected to cost about ₦30 million.
