Ernest Asuzu is talking about his experience while suffering stroke back in 2015 and as expected, it was a depressing ordeal.

According to the veteran actor, he could neither talk nor walk.
Speaking during a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, Asuzu noted that he kept having sex during the period he was down with the stroke, adding that he feared his wife would desert him.

He said: “When I was down with a stroke, my wife was the only one who didn’t forsake me. It was a terrible situation because I did not work for three years, yet I was spending money.
"I must confess that I was afraid that my wife would leave me at that time. Though the illness was serious, it didn’t affect my sex life. Naturally, I am hyperactive in bed and I don’t joke with sex. I have been married officially for five years.”
