Brain Surgery Affected My P*nis, Says Julius Agwu
Nigerian comedian and actor Julius Agwu has opened up about one of the most personal consequences of his long-running health battle, revealing that he lost sexual function after undergoing brain surgery in the United States in 2015.
Agwu made the revelation during a recent episode of the Beer Parlour Talk Show, where he reflected on the physical, emotional and personal impact of the surgery that changed the course of his life and career.
During the conversation, Agwu was asked whether the brain condition and subsequent surgery affected other parts of his body, including his sexual function.
Responding in Pidgin English, the comedian said, “After I do am, prick no dey work again now. He no dey work.”
The discussion that followed focused on the area of the brain involved in the operation and the connection between nerves and the brain. Other guests on the programme discussed a possible link between the nerve affected during the procedure and the sexual difficulties Agwu described.
However, the medical explanation was discussed by the programme participants and was not presented in the reports as an independent medical diagnosis.
Agwu underwent brain surgery in 2015 after doctors discovered three tumours in his brain, with one reportedly about the size of a golf ball.
The comedian has previously spoken publicly about the seriousness of the health crisis and how it affected his career and personal life. He has also recalled being hospitalised and spending months in a coma during the difficult period that followed his surgery.
His latest revelation offers another insight into the physical consequences he says he experienced after the operation.
Agwu also became emotional during the programme while discussing the people he said abandoned him during his health crisis.
According to the comedian, several friends stopped communicating with him when he was going through one of the most difficult periods of his life. He also alleged that a former manager who handled his affairs took his money before their relationship deteriorated.
Agwu said the experience left him questioning his life but added that he had chosen to leave those who wronged him to God.
Despite the painful memories, Agwu also used the appearance to reflect on his contribution to Nigerian comedy.
He recalled his role in developing what became known as music comedy, describing it as an expression of how his mind worked creatively.
“Music comedy na me form am o,” he said, reflecting on the concept that became an important part of his entertainment career.
The emotional conversation highlighted both the physical difficulties and the personal losses the veteran entertainer says he experienced during his health battle.
Agwu’s disclosure has generated attention because it reveals another side of a health struggle he has discussed publicly over the years.
While his brain surgery was initially a battle for his survival, the comedian’s latest account suggests that the aftermath affected several areas of his life, including his personal relationships, memory, career, and sexual health.
His story also underscores the long-term challenges that can accompany serious medical conditions and major surgery.
