Julius Agwu has been off the scene for a while and many were
unaware he was ill.The ace comedian revealed to YES International Magazine that he had to undergo a brain surgery in the
USA..
On the genesis of his ill health, he said he can’t say
specifically when and how it started. But all he could recollect was that at
some point, he went on and on losing serious weight, which got many people
wondering. Some concerned ones started proffering solutions, both medically and
spiritually, while others resorted to murmuring and gossiping.
It went on and on until sometime in May when he had a
seizure at home and while his wife, Ibiere, whom he lavished with so much
thanks all through our stay for her love, care, understanding and support,
battled to halt that, he ran out of breath. Almost lifeless. And with the
likely consequences starring her in the face, Ibiere got their maid and the
security man to assist her in getting him into one of their cars. And from
there, they practically sprinted to their hospital in Lekki.
Thank God the doctor was on call. He battled for hours with
his team to ‘bring him back to life again’. And upon stabilizing him, Julius
and his wife immediately left for the United States of America. Houston to be
precise, where arrangement had been made at the Park Plaza Hospital. After a
series of tests, two lumps were discovered in his brain!
The lumps had been messing up his health and causing his
incessant weight loss. Immediately, the Caucasian surgeons went to work, operating
on him for about 4 hours on Tuesday, May 12, 2015, at the Park Plaza Hospital
in Houston Texas, United States of America.Upon being discharged, Julius rested
in the US for sometime before returning home recently.
Currently putting things together for the 10th anniversary
of his annual Crack Ya Ribs in London, the father of two (Zhara and Zadok) told
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine that all through the time he was medically down, he
was always thinking about what would become of his wife and children should
anything go wrong.
“Onyeoma, I no go lie to you, na dem I just dey think about. But like I said earlier, it’s God at work. I want to thank everybody who supported me in one way or the other. Those that were praying for me and all that.
I’m planning a thanksgiving where I will still tell the full story. But for now, I just want to thank God and my wife. Onyeoma! My wife tried.
The day I had the seizure, she put her finger in my mouth
and I bit it…All the vomit; the mess; she was the one brushing and bathing me
on the bed and clearing and cleaning them. IB really, really tried for me”. A
smile immediately erupted on the face of IB who was sitting adjacent us and
also listening to her husband narrate his story.
