He is equally grateful for the kind of response Nigerians deployed towards his pleas for assistance during the dark moments.

According to him, it was enchanting to know that Nigerians loved and cared for him in such a magnitude.

In a press statement released on Friday, February 3, 2017, from his sick bed at the Federal Medical Centre Ebute Metta, the actor, producer, and founder of Saving Life for Africa Diabetes Foundation said he was full of gratitude for all the people, organizations and groups who supported him financially and spiritually with prayers as he battled for his life.

Although the actor has recorded appreciable improvement in his health, additional funds are still needed for the final lap of the treatment which is scheduled to take place in a US hospital, which is why his fund raising team (comprising  Chinasa Onyechere, Chioma Okoye, Rita Edochie, Queen Nwokoye, Ngozi Ezeonu, Ifeanyi Azodo, Emma Ugodi, Chimdi Chiama, Oby Okafor,  Omalicha Nkwenu, Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi and Ejiro Okurame) , is still appealing to Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora for more financial support.
