Actor Manuel recounts nearly using a wheelchair
In 2022, TheTalk.NG reported how actor Bimbo Manuel talked about one of his experiences which nearly led to him using a wheelchair.
He recounted being involved in a car accident that affected his spine a few years back, but he was not able to feel the pain until later, some days later.
He added that it got to a point where he visited a general hospital on Lagos Island and met a medical doctor at the orthopaedic section, but he was later transferred to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital before he could walk.
