Comedian Julius Agwu who had recently lost weight and looked pale over an undisclosed illness is back to full vigour after undergoing a successful brain tumor surgery.
Friends, family and fans of the comedian were concerned after rumours went agog with tales of HIV, kidney and cancer spreading in hush tones.
In an exclusive interview with YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine, the ace comedian has disclosed his ordeal...
“This is just God at work and that is why I will forever thank Him…,” he began.
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.
The doctor 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.
"I want to thank everybody who supported me in one way or the other. Those that were praying for me and all that," he said.
"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,” he said.
Julius concluded by thanking and appreciating God for the miracle He just did in his family, his life, his career and everything.

Thank God for life
DeleteThank God he had access to proper medical care. If he had collapsed and died just like that (God forbid), some people would probably have labelled his wife a witch.
DeleteClick my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
Thanks be to God for the life of one of the best stand up comedian in Nigeria.
DeleteMy thoughts @lulliGrace, now hes alife n praising her if any thing God forbid had happened to him its the wife. Abiere i join you n your hussy tank God it is well with your home amen.

I rejoice with you Julius, I'm sure you would have had some sober reflections now
What! My goodness...We thank God for his life!
DeleteThank God for his life. But come, why the emphasis by Why International on the doctors being Caucasian again? They have already told us he is America. Hope they are not implying that care or surgery by a white doctor is automatically superior to surgery by a black or brown doctor. Just wondering o because I have gotten this vibe from lots of our people. SMH at inferiority complex. *omojeje*
DeleteThank God...speed recovery dear

ReplyDeleteThank God for his life. That's a good wife he has there. Although she performed her duty.
ReplyDeleteWow thank God for your life bro. Been wondering what happened to you the past 3months,I thought the weight lost was just something he was personally doing to lose weight last year i saw him. Naija people with their talk talk people are already saying is HIV,cancer bla bla who cares no one pray to be sick.
ReplyDeleteMehnn life is not always about money money or enjoyment if you are healthy just thank God every hour you just need to visit hospitals to see how sick people are with incurable diseases especially the rich you will prefer your condition without money than being sick with loads of cash in the account and wealth you can't access. Health is truly wealth, Mr Agu Thank God for your Life and get well soon.
I really hope new government will look into our health system it's really sad one can't be diagnosed quickly in Nigeria hospitals talk more to be treated citizens need to travel abroad for serious even minor diagnosis is very sad. Government should please create environment and investment for health tourism not hotel tourism as we have in all Lagos and Owerri streets.
U talk tumuch mbok! Are u a gal?
DeleteIf jaymoore was an animal, u for be parrot or giraffe.. ikwugbuola onwe gi.
DeleteAnother anonymous11.36 imbecile on the loss. "Talking too much" NO I wasn't talking is called "Written words" and how does being a man or girl make up your silly question fucktard? Is being a man stop one from writing his opinion? Some of you just wake up in the morning being very sad and miserable. Please take a chill pill and get busy with yourself.
DeleteHe is a girl in male body about to find his release *caitlyn jenner tns*
DeleteAnon 11:36 lie hot nsii.l'iee nsiiii are all females talkatives?
Delete@Jay Moore
DeleteLeave all these ignorant people alone jare. People just pull all sorts of (mostly gender-based) rules out of their arses. Who said men are not allowed to express their opinions? Me I enjoy reading your comments jare. *omojeje*

ReplyDeleteThis made me tear up... I was so worried for him when I saw some pics of him when he attended an event early this year! I just couldn't understand the weight loss and was thinking he probably had an eating disorder. God is great. And God bless his wife, she's a good woman.
ReplyDeleteNow Julius, please repent from your womanizing and let God, your family and your career be your focus for the rest of your life. (Those that know, understand what I'm saying). God is great!
Womanizing kwa?
