Appearing from a hospital bed, the actress appealed for support from her fans, friends, family members and colleagues, describing the decision to ask for help as difficult but necessary.

“I have been hospitalised for three weeks. Please I need your help, don’t let me die. My fans, friends, family and colleagues, this was really hard for me to do, but I can’t keep quiet anymore. I need urgent life-saving surgeries,” she said.

Nwosu did not disclose the nature of her illness but confirmed that her medical condition requires immediate attention.

She also shared payment details and encouraged members of the public to share her message and contribute if they are able to do so.

“Please don’t scroll past. Share this post and support if you can. God bless you and may you and yours never experience this affliction,” she wrote.

The actress has enjoyed a long career in Nollywood, earning recognition for her performances in both television and film productions.

Her appeal has prompted messages of concern and support from fans and members of the entertainment community.
