Last week, the 62-year-old actress appealed to Nigerians to help her raise N30 million for three urgent surgeries after revealing that she had been hospitalised for three weeks and could no longer cope with the cost of her treatment.

 

 

 

In an emotional video shared on her Instagram page, Nwosu pleaded with fans, family members and colleagues not to abandon her.
