HOW THE SUN GENERAL EDITOR SAVED MY LIFE-NGOZI NWOSU

Actress, Ngozi Nwosu, has opened up on how The Sun Newspapers came to her rescue last year at the height of her battle with kidney failure.

In an exclusive chat with tonyogagablog during the 11th edition of The Sun Awards, held at the Expo Hall of Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nwosu, who has since returned to Nollywood described The Sun’s ex Sunday Editor, Funke Egbemode, as the angel that saved her life.

“I’m very grateful to Funke Egbemode and by extension, The Sun Newspapers for saving my life. Without her I probably wouldn’t be here today celebrating with The Sun; she’s the angel that saved my life.”

According to Nwosu, she had no idea of the role Ebgemode played in saving her life until she got a cheque from the Lagos State government which covered the entire cost of her treatment in India.

“After I got my cheque from the Lagos State Government, some officials called me aside and advised me to thank Funke Egbemode because she was the one that took my case directly to Governor Fashola. I was deeply moved because I had never met her in person. Finally I called her to thank her for showing me so much love.”

Nwosu reveals that when she eventually called Egbemode to thank her, what she got was a surprise gift: “I thanked her for being there for me and prayed that God should always be there for her. It was then she told me something that really struck me. She said ‘Ngozi, when I lost my husband a couple of years ago, the role you played in Fuji House of Commotion, gave me a lot of inspiration that helped me pull through. You touched my life in a very unique way.’ I was so overjoyed to know that what I do on TV was really touching lives. Funke blessed me in a very special way and I’ll always be grateful to her.”

It was later he told me he was done with SQN and I couldn’t believe it!” According to him, he has no issues with Chuddy K’s desire to jump ship. However he says if Chuddy K wants to leave, it must be done legally. “He has all rights to say he is done but it has to be done within the ambits of the law; it has to be done legally because there is a binding contract. To be honest with you, I really don’t know what led to his decision to leave. He just ca...

Actress Mary Uranta’s allegation: My story By TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE

In its travel advisory, the Goethe Institute had warned: ‘Pack an umbrella and a sweater.’ For no particular reason I had ignored the warning and I was about to learn the hard way. As soon as we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, for the 10 Cities project, sponsored by Goethe Institute, Nairobi and designed to capture the evolution of club culture and music in 10 cities across the world, I knew I was in a different environment. For one, the air smelt clean but the weather was cold, so cold I could feel it in my marrows. We had spent two brainstorming days that included power point presentations, in-depth discussions and debates. Now the organisers felt we should take a retreat and visit one of Kenya’s treasured resorts, Lake Naivisha, located in Nairobi’s countryside and elevated at 6000 feet above sea level. It promised to be an exciting experience as we had been informed that the journey would take us through the rift valley, which I had read about in the ...
