Nigerian actor, Chidi Mokeme has disclosed why he was away from the movie scene for while.
Mokeme made the revelation
during an interview on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds.
According to him, he was battling Bell’s Palsy which made him stay away from the movie scene.
As a result, he had to leave the movie scene to focus on his business while he hoped to get better.
The veteran actor explained the illness as one which could cause a person’s side of his face to droop.
He said:
“It comes like a stroke and sort of affects one side of your face and gives your face a droop,”
The talented actor revealed that the doctor told him it is incurable.
Mokeme said:
“The doctor said it was incurable. They had no cure because they didn’t know what causes it.”
Findings revealed that 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.
