Few months after raising the alarm over his failing health, which keeps deteriorating, the President of the Script Writers Guild of Nigeria (SWGN),
Chike Bryan, is still appealing for funds to enable him commence full treatment on his kidney failure.
We went in search of the prolific
scriptwriter/actor, at his Ikotun residence, and within 20-minutes, he shared
the story of his life threatening ailment, amid difficulties. “Life has not
been the same. The pains I go through on daily basiss are something words
cannot describe. I need about N10 million to undergo a kidney transplant,” he
disclosed in a voice filled with pain.
On how it all started, the Enugu State-born filmmaker continued: “I was diagnosed with malfunctioning kidneys in October 2013. One day, I was going to Surulere and as I got into the car I was feeling funny. I threw up and I was in so much pain. I went to the hospital and after a series of admissions and tests, I was told my kidneys were bad and were not functioning again,’ he revealed.
Since then, his life has not been the same. With a
thrice-a-week dialysis a must for him, Bryan, the co-producer of the hit flick,
Closed Chapter among others, is in dire need of a kidney transplant to save his
life.
‘I have the choice of a kidney transplant or
continue with my dialysis which costs about N45, 000 each for the rest of my
life,’ he told EE.
‘The guild and the industry people have tried for me
and they have done so well. After initial enquires, we were told we needed N10m
for the kidney transplant but this is more than what the guild alone can do for
me. I am calling on Nigerians to help me,’ he appealed.
Bryan, a graduate of Theatre Arts from the
University of Calabar, joined the movie industry in 1995 and has since written
and directed over 100 movies including Upside Down, The Royal Habit, Revelation
and Bad Omen. Married with children, he was also a one-time National
Secretary of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
