Nollywood actor PRINCE JAMES UCHE dying from heart and kidney disease....A prominent Nigerian actor is now on the verge of death.A few days after popular actor, Muna Obiekwe, was reported dead from kidney failure, CHUX OHAI visits seasoned actor, James Uche, who has been battling with heart and kidney disease since 2007.

Unknown to many movie fans and fellow Nollywood practitioners, a former Vice President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria and seasoned actor, Prince James Uche, is still struggling to survive a strange illness that has kept him off the screen for eight years ago.

To make matters worse, Uche’s landlord has just served him a notice, ordering him to quit his residence at 45, Yetunde Brown Street, Gbagada, Lagos.The ailing actor, who now spends most of his time in the premises of a Catholic church near his residence, in an interview with our correspondent on Thursday, recounted how he found himself in his present condition.


He said, “All I can remember is that something struck me on the left side of my face about eight years ago, when I was heading for the burial ceremony of Pete Edochie’s mother at Nteje in Anambra State. I had no idea what hit me in the face, but it happened when I arrived at the junction leading to the town.“I got to the venue of the ceremony and stayed in the town for two days.

On the third day, I suddenly found that I could no longer move my body freely. Although I barely managed to get upon my feet, I could not climb up the staircase.“I had to wait till the following Sunday before deciding to leave for Lagos. But my friend, Edoche, persuaded me to follow him to Enugu where he lived at the time.

I slept in Enugu on that day. In the morning I went for treatment in a hospital.“After the doctor had finished examining me, he stared at me with his mouth half open in shock for a long time. When I asked what was wrong, he said I should have been dead. He took my pulse again and then, sweating, said my blood pressure was abnormally high. He said it had risen up to 300 and it was a miracle that I was still alive.”The doctor also told the actor that, judging by his blood pressure, he should have been dead or paralysed.

That was how Uche initially discovered that he had a heart problem.Although the doctor in the Enugu hospital prescribed a certain drug for his illness and instructed to take it for the rest of his life, Uche had thought it was nothing to worry about and he hoped to recover quickly. Unfortunately, eight years after, the actor, whose career has been seriously affected by the ailment, is still battling for his life.

Apart from spending all his life savings on hospital bills and drugs, the illness has cost him his marriage. In fact, E PUNCH gathered that at a point, Uche’s wife was forced to leave their matrimonial home because she could no longer cope with the burden of taking care of him and their three children.

Uche’s case has progressively declined over the past years. Apart from suffering an undefined heart disease, he is gradually losing his memory and sight (he could barely glimpse our correspondent). Also, to compound the actor’s problem, his kidneys no longer function properly.

Over the weekend AGN President Ibinabo Fiberesima stated that he hasn’t been forgotten but according to Prince Uche’s rep, a lot of the promises made have not been fulfilled.

Bros its obvious you do not really understand the meaning of the saying that 'health is wealth'.
It does not matter how much one had saved or invested, one stupid sickness is capable of draining a very wealthy person and leave him/her with nothing.

Case Study: Job in the Bible.

This is so sad. I pray 4 divine healing upon u in jesus name. Nollywood should pls do something 2 help their own.

Life is not all about living an extravagant life style. Ur colleague needs ur help more than ever. Pls come 2 his aid,n d gud lord will richly bless u 4 doing so

When they have money they never help the poor, they spend lavishly like head of States, Kings etc
When wahala come, they beg like beggars
Timaya, Wizkid,etc be warned

Guy, if you wan die you're free

Get well soon sir
