Sometime last month, July 2015, news went round that the thespian had been diagnosed as having diabetes.
Following this, Iwuoha was
said to required the sum of N3.5 million for corrective eye surgery.
The actor revealed that he
had visited a number of places, within and outside the country, for treatment
until it was discovered that he had diabetes, a condition that was already
affecting his sight at the time, thereby reducing his ability to read through
movie scripts well enough.
‘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.
It has robbed me of the job
[of 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,’ he said.
In a new development
however, a statement has been released in respect to his current health status.
According to the release,
Iwuoha is gradually recuperating, but will need some more time off any physical
or strenuous activities in the coming months, for his health to stabilize
