Popular comic Nollywood Veteran actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, who is currently bedridden has solicited financial help and prayers from Nigerians as he ‘stands the risk of having his legs amputated’.
In a video posted on his Instagram page on Wednesday, Mr Ibu who spoke from hospital bed, said he needed prayers as he could lose his legs.
The comedian said his legs may be cut off.
Calling for prayers and financial help, Mr Ibu said, “I have been down for so many weeks. All I’m hoping is your prayers and assistance. As I speak to you, I’m still laying down in the hospital.
“The medical director of this hospital said the best solution, in case his new idea doesn’t work, my legs will be cut off.
“If they cut off my legs, where do I go to from here? Please pray for me, talk to God almighty. I don’t want my legs to be cut off. Thank you, God bless you.”
Many Nollywood stars and content creators have reacted to the video with comedian and skit maker, Sabinus, also known as Mr Funny said, “Your a legend as far as am concerned Daddy!! Money sent and I pray for great recovery.”

“I pray for healing. We won’t have any reason to cry.
“Prayers are important and also whatever you can send will be appreciated. Let’s do our own bit and share on our platforms. Nothing is too small. God bless you sir.”
