  • Chidi Mokeme has never shared in detail the events that lead to a dreaded diagnosis of Bell’s Palsy.
    How exactly did it happen? How exactly did his wife find him that morning with his face drooping and rush him to the Emergency Room?
    Why did he have a blow out with his wife and insist on returning to Nigeria, despite his doctor’s warnings?
    What is the thing Omotola told him on that evening/or his premiere as his face shocked the media and celebrities present?
    And how did all of this tie to his father chasing him out of home those many, many years ago?
    In addition: What exactly led to his falling out with the Gulder Ultimate Search team, and then being called to return - twice?
    Multiple exclusives, in a conversation where Chidi goes deeper, deeper, deeper than you’ve EVER seen him before..

    Watching this brings tears out of my eyes because this is exactly what I’m going through right now, it all started last 2 weeks some days after the naming for my first child, I’m just a 31 year old newly married guy and my wife is just 23. I started experiencing a serious tingling pain in one side of my head and I thought it was a headache, after 2 days the whole half of my face was completely paralyzed, I couldn’t eat, move my face, talk or even brush my teeth, the doctor told me my brain was damaged and there’s no hope but my mom rebuked him, we’ve been trying different medications, doing some tests and praying to God for miracle. Please help a brother with info if you know anything that works 😢. This is the 3rd week and I wake up every day scared
