There were various insinuations as to
what killed the actor and father of two.
However, the actor who had his private
life, private, sadly died of kidney disease.
An ailment which the actor has been
battling with for a while but thought he
can come through it unscratched but it is
sad to know the end right now.
Here are 4 things you did not know about
the actor before he died:
1. He was a heavy drinker
Although the actor tried managing the
kidney problem, he could not help not
taking alcohol despite the doctor’s
advice. At a point when the actor
approached a Lagos doctor, he was told
that if he manages it well,
he can
overcome it. The doctor made the
deceased actor to know that if he can
only do up to 20 dialyses, all will be fine.
However, a mother figure in the Nigerian
Movie industry, Vera Kanu, while
confirming his death said, “I was with him
to the last hour. He was to do up to 20
dialyses; the doctor said if the dialysis
improved his condition, the worse would
certainly be over. He will be okay only if
he stays away from alcohol but you know
our artiste” she sadly said.
2. Muna Thought He Was Going To
Survive The Kidney Ailment
Just like he did the tragic demise of his
parents, Muna kept all hopes alive,
thinking all will be well in the end. His
tragic entrance shut out what he was
known for… a man with zero worries.
Munachimso whose name means ‘God is
walking with me’, is coincidentally a man
who thinks just at the end, all will be fine.
Vera Kanu, who is his godmother revealed
how the actor managed the situation,
saying, “He was managing it on his own.
As a matter of fact, he has been
managing it for a while until Ejiro
Okurame and I came on board to help. We
were combining resources to help him but
there was very little we could do to save
him. We had to enlist the help of Patience
Ozokwor and Kanayo O. Kanayo (KOK) at
a point. They rendered the help they could
until he died.”
3. He was scared of the press
Being a private guy that he is and not
wanting to be seen publicly as one of
those celebs who begged even after
making the imaginary big money from
movies, Muna Obiekwe was said to have
preferred to handle the situation all by
himself. The actor who died on the tenth
dialysis was said to have been spending
a fortune on the frequent dialysis.
According to a close source, ”the dialysis
was expensive for Muna. He was doing
two in a week sometimes. And he would
need blood injection on each occasion.
Each appointment was costing him
between N250, 000 to N300, 000; money
he did not really have to spend. His
health was eating deep into his purse yet
Muna refused to go cap in hand begging
for alms. He was a private guy who didn’t
want the press or his colleagues to feast
on his pain, and cast aspersions on
Nollywood’s industry of beggars’ .
4. He was one of the three busiest actors
in Nollywood
Another thing you did not know about the
actor is that Muna Obiekwe is one of the
busiest actors n Nollywod. He is tagged
alongside Mike Ezuronye and Yul
Edochie. Muna is also the first cousin of
Yul Edochie, which makes him a member
of Pete Edochie’s family.
It would be recalled that the popular
musician and music director, OJB Jezreel,
had a kidney transplant in India with the
help of his celebrity colleagues who
donated generously. But in Muna’s case,
there was a sad end, as the Internet went
abuzz on Sunday, January 19, 2015 when
news of his death surfaced online.
May his soul rest in perfect peace!...comment please
