Julius Agwu Narrates Near-Death Ordeal

Not many knew that popular comedian, Julius Agwu, had a close shove with death few months ago. For a while, his sudden weight loss had become an issue of concern as some unpleasant stories circulated as to the cause of the illness.
In a recent interview with YES Magazine, the father of two narrated how he almost lost his life to brain lumps.
On the genesis of his ill health, he said he can’t specifically state when and how it all started. But all he could recollect was that at some point, he started losing weight drastically, which got many people wondering.

He said some concerned ones started proffering solutions, both medically and spiritually, while others resorted to murmuring and gossiping.
"It went on and on until sometime in May when I had a seizure at home while with my wife, Ibiere. She battled to halt that, after I ran out of breath. With the likely consequences starring her in the face, Ibiere got the maid and the security man to assist her in getting me into one of the cars.
“And from there, they practically sprinted to the hospital in Lekki. Thank God the doctor was on call. He battled for hours with his team to bring me back to life," Julius narrated.

After they succeeded in stabilising him, Julius and his wife immediately left for the United States of America, Houston to be precise, where arrangement had been made at the Park Plaza Hospital.
"After a series of tests, two lumps were discovered in my brain! The lumps had been messing up my health and causing the incessant weight loss.
“Immediately, the Caucasian surgeons went to work, operating on me for about 4 hours on Tuesday, May 12, 2015, at the Park Plaza Hospital in Houston Texas, United States of America," he recalled.

It was indeed a huge success and upon being discharged, Julius rested in the US for sometimes before returning home recently.
He is currently putting things together for the 10th anniversary of his annual Crack Ya Ribs in London.
