Nollywood Actor Bruno Iwuoha Goes Blind, Battles Diabetes, Needs N3.5M For Eye Surgery



Another Nollywood actor needs help urgently to restore his sight. Last Tuesday 14th of July, veteran actor Bruno Iwuoha was a guest on the Brekete Family Program on 104.5FM in Abuja. And while on air, he opened up about his current battle with diabetes/glaucoma.

According to the talented actor, he never knew he had diabetes until a violent armed robbery attack that landed him in hospital. A series of test carried out on him revealed that he has diabetes and since then he has been managing it until the condition affected his sight.
His words:

“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 sight. 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.
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 said he needs the help of kind-hearted Nigerians because he has been referred to a US-based hospital where he is required to have N3.5million. So far he has about N200,000.

He said he got to know that Jonathan gave AGN money but Ibinabo Fiberesima never assisted him with any money when he reached out to her.

To help Chief Bruno, please contact the Brekete Family at Suite F9, Sheriff Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja or Call +234-80-33-22 11-49, BBM PIN: 2BD26968
Thank you.

OMG!!! Justin Bieber posts his nacked pix on IG unknowingly

Justin Bieber delighted his Beliebers on Monday when he shared a naked photo on his Instagram account. The cheeky 21-year-old bared his bottom as he stood with his back to the camera on the edge of a boat. 'Look!' he captioned the snapshot, which showed him pointing at the land ahead, although it's fair to say none of his fans will have been admiring the scenery. Justin is currently in Bora Bora, and it's not clear who he is travelling with. The singer is clearly feeling quite relaxed, and stared across the stunning blue sea for his raunchy naked photo. Justin revealing pic caught the attention of one fan in particular - Miley Cyrus - who reposted the image, although she put her own creative crop on what she believed to be the most interesting part of the picture.
