Recall that Ngozi Nwosu recently made an emotional appeal to fans, colleagues, and well-wishers after revealing she had been hospitalised for three weeks due to a serious health condition. Sharing a photo from her hospital bed, the veteran actress admitted it was difficult to speak publicly about her ordeal. Still, she said she had no choice as she urgently requires three life-saving surgeries estimated to cost ₦30 million.
