One more celebrity is suffering from a life
threatening disease, her name is Zara Gretti and
she is in dire need of help.
Her real name Margaret Mary Oluwatoyin Ejiro
Joseph, she was in early 2012 diagnosed with
Multiple Sclerosis after travelling to the US in
November 2011.
Multiple Sclerosis is a nervous system disease
that affects your brain and spinal cord. It
damages the myelin sheath, the material that
surrounds and protects your nerve cells. This
damage slows down or blocks messages between
your brain and your body.
Zara says she was surprised when she learnt she
had been diagnosed with the disease. “My family
had to travel me to the US for better hospitals to
fully diagnose and understand what was wrong
with me” , she told NET via Skype in April.
Zara claims the symptoms began creeping in
gradually, starting with muscle weakness and
numbness. Right now, Zara is suffering from
visual disturbances, trouble with coordination and
balance, thinking and memory problems, double
vision or blurring of vision, slurred speech, fatigue
and dizziness.
The once very active dreadlocked singer has cut
her natural braids and says she has been
undergoing different treatments including mild
chemotherapy in a hospital situated near her
residence in Maryland, US.
Bills have been piling up and have to be paid;
Zara who seems to be showing a commendable
amount of courage has called upon fans and
friends to help in raising funds to pay her hospital
fees. Taking time to record a mini-video while
receiving treatment in the hospital, she finally
revealed to the world her current condition.
An online charity fund account has been opened
with the target to raise $23,000. So far $12,094
has been raised. Her current manager says a
GTBank account will also be opened for local
transfers within the country.
“God is going to do a miracle for me. I’m going to
have a huge testimony. Every day I tell him thank
you. I am grateful”, Zara says.
Zara according to her manager IK Tripz, will be
returning to Nigeria sometime in September
2013. ‘The plan is for her to release her ‘Colours of
my Heart’ EP . She will be returning in September
too’, IK Tripz told NET over the phone. Zara also
released a new song titled ‘Yeah’ . The EP will be
released under her label ILVIDONLA.
Zara burst into the Nigerian music scene in 2010,
when she returned fromMaryland, US to pursue a
career in Nigeria. She was heavily affiliated
withAlapomeji Records and managed by Toni
Payne Management. She well known for her
popular single ‘Aboko Ku ‘
