Julius agwu donate $35,000 to support music star alariwo's illness

Alariwo of Africa was reportedly
diagnosed with a disease known as
Varicocele, which is described in
medical terms as an enlargement of
veins inside the scrotum.
According to Punch, Alariwo said:
“People have been speculating about
my health lately. Some reports even
said I was bedridden. This is not
true. I was not bedridden and I have
never been. But it is true that I am
about to undergo surgery.
I am still trying to find the right
place to have it done. I have to
choose either India, Germany, Israel,
England or America. I have been
taking some drugs to slow down the
pain in my scrotum until I am ready
to undergo surgery. All I just need is
enough funds to travel abroad and
treat it.
I have been going through a lot,
these past weeks. My wife has been
in the hospital for over one month.
She has been down with acute
pulmonary embolism. It has been
very tough, but God has taken
control. The doctors at the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital said
only a few people could survive the
ailment. I am happy that she is one
of them.


But her treatment has cost me quite
a lot of money. I spent an average of
N54,000 everyday for about 19 days.
Apart from this, I was buying a drug
called Clexin at N37,000 for her
every week.
She received a total of about 96
injections altogether on her shoulder
during the period that she was
undergoing treatment. And all that
while, I didn’t leave her bedside. I
was with her in the hospital.”
Before his wife’s case came up, the
singer added, he had planned to
raise funds and travel abroad for his
own treatment. But, faced with a
bigger challenge, he had to sell his
car in order to pay her medical bills.
He went on:
“Before now, I didn’t want to talk
about my health or my wife’s illness
or the challenges I have faced these
past weeks. I had decided not to
make my problems known to the
public for some reasons. I guess the
details were leaked through one or
two friends of mine that I whispered
to and they were blown out of
proportion online. I never made a
public appeal for funds nor called a
press conference for that purpose.
But it is when you find yourself in a
situation like this that you know
those that are your true friends. A lot
of people were kind enough to
provide support during the crisis. I
am talking about people like Ayo
Animashaun, Otunba Sesan Rufai
and many others.”
The singer was full of praises for
popular stand-up comedian, Julius
Agwu, who phoned a few days ago to
surprise him with a donation of
$35,000.
He said:
“Julius is the only entertainer that
has volunteered to donate the sum of
$35,000 to my cause. I was shocked
when he called to say he would give
me the money. Now what I should be
looking for is the balance. I want to
thank him for this wonderful
gesture.”
Other friends and colleagues of the
Crossover king, such as Agatha
Amata and Dayo Adeneye, have also
expressed their desire to support his
quest for additional funding.
Alariwo still needs to raise some
funds for his planned medical trip
abroad. He needs about $130,000 for
his own treatment and for what is
left of his wife’s bills. Meanwhile, his
wife is said to be getting better and
responding to treatment.
