According to her, they spent lots of money while seeking medical treatment, and she even went as far as taking him to his hometown in Enugu State in search of a solution to his health challenge.
Revealing that some people started to call him a “living corpse” before his death, Regina confessed that breaking down in tears was a regular habit for her during that troubling period.
“My last child was only four months old when their father passed away.
Every time I try to talk about it, I break down in tears,” she said.

Regina further noted that the sickness drained all the money her late husband had worked for, stressing that life became so hard that she could not even sign up for antenatal care.
The actress concluded by saying that her entire life was transformed after his painful demise, and she still thinks about what they both went through till this very day.
“On the night of our traditional wedding, he told me that all the money he had, both at home and abroad, was just eleven thousand naira.
That night, I cried, wondering how we would survive because the illness had drained his resources.
Life became very hard. I couldn’t even register for antenatal care, and after 41 days of welcoming my child, I had to return to work because my husband was bedridden and using a potty at home.
He couldn’t eat without immediately having diarrhea. People who saw him said he looked like a living corpse.
I was running around with a baby on my back. He even asked me to beg his mother for mercy death.,” she added.
