Oga Coachito, could he have already undergone surgery, and what we see on the videos is rehab, retraining his muscles to walk again? A friend just went through the same thing.Coach wrote:Has the authenticity of the GoFundMe page been confirmed? The video footage clearly depicts Chukwu’s condition, albeit leaving diagnosis up for debate, but is this request for funding, genuine? Round trip to where? What surgeries? What treatments? After all, T.I.N.
Spot diagnosis...Arthritis with need for hip replacement.
Looks like a CIC old boy based in the US that is organising it.........from my online research the man has done 'great' things for current and former Rangers players(including non-Rangers Green Eagles players).ohsee wrote:Oga Coachito, could he have already undergone surgery, and what we see on the videos is rehab, retraining his muscles to walk again?

Your point about the authenticity of the GoFundMe is valid. I pledge $100 when its authenticity has been confirmed, or if CE is raising funds.

Great news.....Dammy wrote:It seems the NFF have taken over the Chairman's case.
Truly heartbreaking.Damunk wrote:This is heartbreaking.
Hard to tell exactly what the problem is from the video but hopefully it is strictly a joint problem and nothing worse. Aside from money I'm sure there are hundreds of Nigerian doctors (and specialists) around the world willing to offer their expertise for free.
I will post the link on my Dr's forum. Chief Ogbunigwe, Babalawo and others should please do the same.
A hint at the diagnosis would help identify what needs to be done but that is obviously a confidential matter.
£100 towards a CE bulk donation.

make we laugh small jare!! life shotI have the same questions. You would think a man of his caliber would have health insurance which I know is available for those who can afford it.1naija wrote:I am all for donating and will donate, but unlike most of our ex,-players, especially those from his era, CCC had many job opportunities both with Rangers and Nigeria. Did mefical cost deplete his funds, or did he not save his money?
I am trying to understand why he is in such a poor state that people are having to raise money for him? I know prolonged illness or poor health can deplete someone's saving very quickly, which may be the case here.
It’s come to my notice that Christian Chukwu is the subject of a go fund me scheme for treatment abroad.
I will like to put a disclaimer whilst protecting patient confidentiality, that he has had excellent care cordinated by Nikea specialist hospital where his life was essentially saved. He is now in a much better position and has no pressing medical issues necessitating urgent care abroad and the family and Christian Chukwu are aware of that.
I'm with you on this and I was not willing to contribute a dime.1naija wrote:I am all for donating and will donate, but unlike most of our ex,-players, especially those from his era, CCC had many job opportunities both with Rangers and Nigeria.

Chukwu was not abandoned, says Rangers
SPORTS
By Chidinma Ihuoma On Apr 8, 2019
The management of Rangers International Football Club of Enugu on Monday, denied the rumours making the round that the club abandoned their Technical Director, Christian Chukwu, saying the rumour was not only untrue, but imagination of the writer.
Norbert Okolie made this known in a statement signed in Enugu State while reacting to stories making the rounds in most social media platforms that the club and Enugu State Government abandoned it’s former player.
The club said that their former coach and a national team captain was been attended to in his hour of need as he recovers from a life threatening health challenge.
The General Manager of Rangers International, Prince Davidson Owumi, described the stories of alleged abandonment of the national icon as completely baseless.
He said that both the club and the state government led by Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has been doing all that was needed to help the coach back on his feat.
“We in Rangers made the initial deposit for his admission for medical attention at Nike Clinic, GRA, Enugu.
“After informing the state government of his condition, the sum of One million, five hundred thousand naira (N1.5m) only was made available to his family for treatment which has been carried out,”he said.
He is right now recovering from the treatment carried out on him.
Prince Owumi further said that the club made the initial N200,000 deposit for his admission and commencement of treatment at the private health facility.
“Christian Chukwu is a legend and our governor holds him in high esteem and takes whatever concerns him with high regard.
“So, it beats me hollow for some media channels to start peddling stories that he was abandoned. It is not true.
“Our legend, Chukwu has been assessed by medical personnel at the hospital and is gradually getting over the health challenge.
“We did not want to make the efforts of Enugu state government and Rangers in this case public, because his family never wanted his condition a public affair,”he said. (NAN)
