On Sunday we brought you the story of once bubbling Nollywood
actress, Ngozi Nwosu’s story tagged ‘Actress Ngozi Nwosu Appears Frail
At Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ where N1 million was won
by her and Mr. Seun Oloketuyi, a journalist. The fair skinned actress
famous for her role in the sitcom, ‘Fuji House Of Commotion’, is a
shadow of herself; she is drifting away gradually but good news is, we
can halt that! We can help in our own little ways.

Please, read Mr Seun Oloketuyi’s story about the actress when he paid her a scheduled visit:
Ngozi Nwosu is dying. She has lost it all; weight, strength and
vigour but not her talent and deep sense of humour which she displayed
during the over one and a half hours we spent together recently. Her
emotions ranged from profound despair to occasional outbursts of
laughter at her own jokes. When i got a call from the organisers of Who
Wants To Be A Millionaire to come play
in the special Celebrity Edition last week, I did not know it was the
cause of our Dear Ngozi i will be playing for until I got there. The
Director revealed this to me few minutes before recording began as Ngozi
sauntered in.
One of the first signs that things were no longer right with Ngozi
was the fact that we had to delay recording because while everybody else
was virtually fanning themselves due to the studio lights, Ngozi was
shivering from cold so much that the producers had to get her cardigans.
I was flustered. When the programme eventually got underway, Ngozi
still helped to answer some questions. She summoned every ounce of
strength in her body to look good for the cameras. Then, it occurred to
me that she might be withering, with life slowly ebbing away from her
before our very eyes, that acting talent is still intact. As we made our
way out of the studio after the recording, she turned to me, despair
etched on her brows as her eyes glistened with tears, and said, “Seun,
do you know I was here (WWTBAM) few years back to play this game for
Samanja and I didn’t know that I will be here years later for people to
play for me to survive. See life.” She burst into tears. I fought back
tears myself. I had never been so close to crying in a long while but
Ngozi’s story will break the steeliest of hearts.
Moments later, we sat down to talk in the ante-room of the studio.
Her nurse told me that despite the fact that she has lost half her
original weight, she was better than three months back when she could
not even get up from bed in her Surulere, Lagos apartment. “Thanks to
God and medical attention, she is willing to give living again a chance
by fighting,” the nurse said.
When we probed further on what exactly her ailment is, Ngozi wouldn’t
say but instead invited me to her home. Last Sunday, I was Ngozi’s
guest, where she showed me results of tests stating that she had kidney
and heart-related issues. I spent hours in her house as she led me by
the hand through the whole gamut of her illness. She told me she decided
to divulge everything because of widespread speculation that she was
HIV positive. “I don’t have AIDS o,” she declared. The bottom line now
is that Ngozi needs N6m to treat herself abroad. And she needs it fast.
Ngozi is willing to live longer but we have to support her.
You can send your widow’s mite to Ngozi Nwosu GTB 0052851673. May God
bless you and all that you take important as we rally round to save
beautiful actress.
