Following her return to Onua Showtime, Nana Ama McBrown said she left in June to undergo surgery on her hand.

She pleaded with Ghanaians to have patience while she heals and to pray for her to recover quickly.

Nana Ama McBrown added that she was not returning yet to her show because she still needed to take some time to get back to her best.

“You will be able to move a little about for a while… however, you will need to wait for a while before returning to your normal routine. That is why I decided to come and visit you. I haven't returned to work. I am still on holiday," she added.
