According to YES
International Magazine, people must have noticed that Julius Agwu has been off
the scene for a while, he was ill. The ace comedian revealed that he had to
undergo a brain surgery in the USA.
On the genesis of his ill health, he said he can’t say specifically when and how it started. But all he could recollect was that at some point, he went on and on losing serious weight, which got many people wondering. Some concerned ones started proffering solutions, both medically and spiritually, while others resorted to murmuring and gossiping.

On the genesis of his ill health, he said he can’t say specifically when and how it started. But all he could recollect was that at some point, he went on and on losing serious weight, which got many people wondering. Some concerned ones started proffering solutions, both medically and spiritually, while others resorted to murmuring and gossiping.
It went on and on until
sometime in May when he had a seizure at home and while his wife, Ibiere, whom
he lavished with so much thanks all through our stay for her love, care, understanding
and support, battled to halt that, he ran out of breath.
Almost lifeless and with
the likely consequences starring her in the face, Ibiere got their maid and the
security man to assist her in getting him into one of their cars. And from
there, they practically sprinted to their hospital in Lekki.
Thank God the doctor was on
call. He battled for hours with his team to ‘bring him back to life again’. And
upon stabilizing him, Julius and his wife immediately left for the United
States of America. Houston to be precise where arrangement had been made at the
Park Plaza Hospital. After a series of tests, two lumps were discovered in his
brain!
The lumps had been messing
up his health and causing his incessant weight loss. Immediately, the Caucasian
surgeons went to work, operating on him for about 4 hours on Tuesday, May 12,
2015, at the Park Plaza Hospital in Houston Texas, United States of America.
Upon being discharged,
Julius rested in the US for some-time before returning home recently.
Currently putting things
together for the 10th anniversary of his annual Crack Ya Ribs in London, the
father of two (Zhara and Zadok) told YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine that all
through the time he was medically down, he was always thinking about what would
become of his wife and children should anything go wrong.
“Onyeoma, I no go lie to
you, na dem I just dey think about. But like I said earlier, it’s God at work.
I want to thank everybody who supported me in one way or the other. Those that
were praying for me and all that.
I’m planning a thanksgiving
where I will still tell the full story. But for now, I just want to thank God
and my wife. Onyeoma! My wife tried.
The day I had the seizure,
she put her finger in my mouth and I bit it…All the vomit; the mess; she was
the one brushing and bathing me on the bed and clearing and cleaning them. IB
really, really tried for me.”
A smile immediately erupted on the face of IB
who was sitting adjacent us and also listening to her husband narrate his
story.His two children who were also nearby immediately made for where we were
sitting and started crawling all over us. And as if on cue, Julius quipped in
an emotional voice: “Onyeoma, wetin for happen like say…” And he left it
hanging there.
I wish Julius a speedy recovery, pele.
