NOLLYWOOD ACTOR GOES BLIND

Popular Nollywood actor, Bruno Iwuoha has lost his sight.

The veteran actor in an interview with a radio station in Abuja opened up on his interview with a life threatening disease.
The actor talked about his battle with diabetes and how he has been battling glaucoma for years without money for corrective surgery.
According to the talented actor, he never knew he had diabetes until a violent armed robbery attack that 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 sights. As I look at you now, I’m using only one sight. They call that glaucoma. And gradually, it’s affecting the other one. So, name make, apart from places…the people who call me a times, 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 now needs to be transferred to a US-based hospital where he is required to have N3.5million, and all he has so far is N200, 000
He also said that the AGN and AGN president Ibinabo Fiberesima are yet to reach out to him.
