Zack Orji, a seasoned Nollywood actor, disclosed that he suffered from amnesia prior to surgery.
Remember that the actor slumped in the bathroom and had to have two brain surgery recently?
In a Sunday interview with Channels TV, Orji stated that he spent five and a half hours in a coma.
“I can only say that it’s by the grace of God that I’m alive today because I passed out. I was out for like five and a half hours before help came,” he recalled.
Orji added that his colleagues Benedict Johnson and Labista rushed to his house and “lifted me on their shoulders from the second floor to the ground floor and took me to the National Hospital”.
He claimed that although the initial operation was done on January 1st, he had another one a month later when scans showed that there was still a blood clot present.
He said, “Before the surgery, I couldn’t recognise people. Some of the people who came to the hospital to see me, I didn’t even know that they came and we were talking but I couldn’t remember them. I was my wife who told me those who came.
“But immediately after the surgery, the first question I asked was, ‘What day are we today?’ My wife said new year day and I started wishing everybody happy new year. She said that was when she knew that I am back.”
