The seasoned Nigerian actor and film producer Femi Bright talked candidly with his colleague Kunle Afod about his protracted struggle with a major health issue.
Bright said he has battled excessive cholesterol for many years.
Even though he is now well again thanks to long-term treatment, the illness had a severe negative impact on him and even made him need financial assistance.
He related a particularly embarrassing story of how his health problem came to light in public.
“Cholesterol is an excess of fat in the body,” Bright explained.
“I couldn’t walk long distances without my vision blurring and eventually collapsing. It took a while for doctors to diagnose it as cholesterol, during which I underwent numerous lab tests.”
“It once embarrassed me on the road one day while going out. Thankfully someone came to my rescue and put me in a cab that took me home.”
