Popular comedian Julius Agwu recently traveled to the states for brain surgery treatment.
The comedian carried out the operation secretly and the media was not
informed. Julius is now back to Nigeria and he’s doing fine.
He shared his story with YES magazine. Read below.
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.
His two children who were also nearby immediately made for where we
were sitting and started crawling all over us. And as if on cue, Julius
quipped in an emotional voice: “Onyeoma, wetin for happen like say…” And
he left it hanging there. I remembered I hadn’t had my breakfast then,
having come straight from the church. I voiced this out and the wife
arranged something for us to eat, and as we ate and discussed, Julius
just kept thanking, appreciating and saluting God for the miracle He
just did in his family, his life, his career and everything.
Thank God for safe surgery!!!!
