Ace entertainment journalist and film maker, Mr. Stanley Okoronkwo, is
currently fighting a battle of his life, as he is down with coronary artery disorder, which does not allow his heart to pump blood effectively.
As a result, he experiences chest pain, shortness of breath and blackout. Okoronkwo has been battling with this ailment since 2016, which has seen him in and out of hospitals.
According to the journalist, his test results which include ECG, chest x-ray, and ECO Cardiogram test show that he has major AV block, unfolding aorta and enlarged heart.
The medics say he ultimately needs surgery to correct the disorder.
But Okoronkwo does not have anything close to the N10million required to carry out the surgery. In fact, he is required to go abroad for the medical procedure.
The film maker is therefore appealing to kind-hearted Nigerians to come to his aid, for him to stay alive and raise his kids.
Stanley Okoronkwo said: “I have done the best I could. I have nothing left, and if I do not cry out, death will be very imminent for me.
“I have been referred to Dr. Devanada, a Consultant Cardiovascular and Thoracic surgeon in India and he is waiting for me to come for surgery there. The cost is N10 million.
“I am appealing to Nigerians to come to my aid so I get the required treatment urgently. These are very trying moments and I know that God will use the good people out there to touch my life.”
As a journalist, Okoronkwo had written for several news publications and is the founder of Nollywood Personalities Awards (NOPA), which has been honouring personalities of note in Nollywood since 1997.
