Part of that money
has been paid, courtesy of a donation from Nigerian comedian, Julius
Agwu who recently survived a brain surgery in America.
“Julius
is the only entertainer that has volunteered to donate the sum of
$35,000 to my cause. I was shocked when he called to say he would give
me the money. Now what I should be looking for is the balance. I want to
thank him for this wonderful gesture” Alariwo said.

Alariwo

abroad to complete the total of $130,000 for his own treatment and also
balance up what is left of his wife’s bills, who has also been ill with acute pulmonary embolism.
