The Nigerian entertainment industry has been hit with another tragic loss as popular social media influencer and chairman of Delta State Sports Association, Morris Monye, announced the passing of famous Nigerian actor Amaechi Muonagor. Monye took to his official X handle on Sunday to share the heartbreaking news of Muonagor’s death, expressing his grief at the loss of a talented Nollywood actor whose performances on screen were truly masterful.
In his statement, Monye revealed that they had been aware of Muonagor’s health struggles and had tried to support him in seeking treatment in India. The tragic passing of Muonagor has once again shed light on the urgent need for better healthcare infrastructure in Nigeria. Despite efforts to reach out to the Actor Guild of Nigeria for a response to the news, there has been no official statement from the AGN as of yet.
It was just a week ago that the 61-year-old actor had made a distressing plea to Nigerians for financial assistance for his kidney transplant. On November 27, 2023, Muonagor’s cousin, Tony ‘Oneweek’ Muonagor, confirmed that the actor was battling kidney disease. Throughout his career, Muonagor had appeared in numerous films, with one of his most notable roles being in the movie “Aki and Paw Paw,” where he portrayed the father of two mischievous and energetic teenagers.
The news of Muonagor’s death comes shortly after the passing of another Nollywood actor, Mr Ibu (John Okafor), who died on March 2, 2024. The consecutive losses of these talented actors have left the entertainment industry and fans in mourning.
The untimely death of Amaechi Muonagor serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of access to quality healthcare. As the Nigerian entertainment community continues to grapple with these losses, it is crucial to prioritize the well-being of its artists and provide support for those in need.
In conclusion, the legacy of Amaechi Muonagor will live on through his remarkable contributions to Nigerian cinema, and he will be remembered for his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. May his soul rest in peace.
