industry but of late the acor has been off the set. This has been due
to problems with his health as he battles with diabetes and glaucoma.
Last Tuesday, the actor who as a guest on the Brekete Family Program
on 104.5FM in Abuja opened up about his current health complications.
Iwuoha revealed that diabetes caught him unaware. He said he never
knew about his health condition until an attack by armed robbers
landed him in the hospital. There he was diagnosed of the ailment. The
complication with diabetes then gave birth to glaucoma.
He said:
"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."
Bruno Iwuoha needs a sum of N3.5 million to be treated in an hospital
in the United States of America. Currently, he has saved up to
N200,000. According to him, the president of the Actors Guild of
Nigeria, AGN Ibinabo Fiberesima has turned deaf ears to his problems.
