One of Nigeria’s most successful actors, Chidi Mokeme has opened up about his absence from the movie scene.
The celebrated actor revealed that he has been battling Bell’s Palsy for a while now.
He explained that the illness caused one side of his face to droop.
According to him, “It comes like a stroke and sort of affects one side of your face and gives your face a droop,” he stated while speaking on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds.
Mokeme added that the doctor told him it is incurable.
“The doctor said it was incurable. They had no cure because they didn’t know what causes it,” he said.
This made him leave the movie scene to focus on his business while he hoped to get better.
Meanwhile, Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face. In most cases, the weakness is temporary and significantly improves over weeks. Bell’s Palsy may be a reaction to a viral infection. It rarely occurs more than once.
