The show host is currently being evaluated alongside his donor by doctors in the United States of America.

Veteran broadcaster, Emmanuel Ugolee is currently in need of the sum of N15 million, money required as payment for the treatment of a kidney disease.

Linda Ikeji's Blog (LIB) reported that getting the amount has reached a point of great necessity as his present health condition has started to deteriorate.

Based on this, his representatives have set up an appeal to the public in a bid to help him get financial assistance. A bank account and a gofundme page has been created in favour of this.

According to LIB, the initial sum he was meant to render as payment exceeded the N15 million mark, but thanks to the goodwill of the health organization where he is receiving treatment in the United States of America, the money was reduced to the current amount.

At the moment, he and his donor are at the stage of evaluation while his doctors make the necessary arrangement for the kidney transplant.
