Ace Comedian Julius Agwu Reveals Loss of Sexual Function Following 2015 Brain Surgery

Nigerian comedian and veteran actor Julius Agwu has candidly spoken out about the lingering physical after-effects of his 2015 neurosurgery, revealing that the complex procedure resulted in total loss of sexual function and erectile dysfunction.

Speaking as a guest on a recent episode of the Beer Parlour Talk Show, the 53-year-old entertainer opened up about how the surgery—which successfully removed three brain tumors, including one the size of a golf ball—profoundly altered his health, career, and personal life. Asked directly by the host if his brain condition or subsequent treatment affected other bodily functions, Agwu explained in Pidgin English that his intimate organs stopped functioning following the operation, with fellow show guests noting that surgical interventions in specific brain and nerve pathways frequently carry long-term physiological side effects.
“After I do am, prick no dey work again now. E no dey work... Music comedy na me form am o, that is to tell you how my brain dey work... God wey I dey serve, anybody wey get hand for wetin happen to me, I go dey look. My friends deserted me. They stopped talking to me, many of them. It is well.”

Agwu, who pioneered the fusion of music and stand-up comedy in Nigeria through hit franchises like Crack Ya Ribs, also reflected emotionally on the personal toll of his prolonged health battles, including a three-month coma in London in 2016, his subsequent marital separation, and feeling abandoned by former industry peers during his recovery. Despite these setbacks, the veteran performer expressed gratitude for surviving the life-threatening surgery, reaffirming his pride in his enduring legacy within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
