Nollywood actor, Chidi Mokeme has opened up on why he took a break from the movie industry.<\/p>\n
Kemi Filani reports that from some while, the legendary actor was absent from the movie industry and spotlight.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Channels Television, Chidi Mokeme revealed that he was battling Bell\u2019s Palsy.<\/p>\n
Bell\u2019s palsy may be a reaction to a viral infection. It rarely occurs more than once. It is a sudden weakness in the muscles on one half of the face.<\/p>\n
Likening the infection to stroke, Chidi revealed that it affected one side of his face, and as an actor, he couldn\u2019t make public appearance.<\/p>\n
To worsen things, doctors said the infection was something that is incurable and didn\u2019t have treatment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been off the scene for a while after we did the promotional tour for 76. Before that when we were preparing to go to the UK on a trip for British International Film Festi. I came down with something called Bell\u2019s Palsy. It comes like a stroke and affects one side of your face and this was something the doctor said was incurable they didn\u2019t know what caused it and how to treat it.<\/p>\n
As an actor you can imagine what I was going through\u201d.<\/p>\n
