No, what they need is orientation, teaching them to eat and drink wisely, and ditching that YOLO mindset which I believe prompts one not to save for rainy days like this.

If truly he is dead, may his soul find peace.

It is better that he is dead or dies instead of that organ transplant that they're planning to do.

These guys eat anyhow. You'd see them down lots of sugar, alcohol in movies. Who knows how much they take behind the scenes?

They don't need God, they need a mental recalibration.

Are they not human beings death is not a respecter of family, association, organisation etc .

Wow, may his soul rest in peace.

With the way the sickness hit him, he needed a miracle to bounce back healthy.
I enjoyed his movies from playing Nkem Owoh's brother in Ukwa. May his soul find rest.

Only God Almighty Will Guide And Protect Us

Another top actor dies ...sad

Haa may his gentle soul continue to rest in perfect Peace . Meanwhile, Amaechi Muonagor down with kidney disease, diabetes, stroke – Cousin, Tony Oneweek

He should be near or above 70yrs.


The truth is, African actors of the past were shortchanged, they earned peanut while producers, marketers and distributors made all the money



If not that Omotola married a Pilot who saved massively to relocate her and their kids abroad, Omotola and co would have been struggling too despite being a one time A-list actress.


The advantage the ladies among them have is that in Nigeria and Africa, media publicity and exposure pay ladies more than guys. All a beautiful lady need in Nigeria to make it big is media publicity and open mind to take advantage of the well to do dicks that will come her way.



But unfortunately for the male actors, rich Nigerian ladies aren't ready to pay them a dime, instead they still end up spending the meager income they earn to impress their female fans.


Any Nigerian actor and showbiz guy that love his future should better use the celebrity status and media publicity he has when he is still hot/trending to hook up with a white chick and Japa abroad if not, na beg him go beg Nigerians to him financially when his shine starts to diminish

Where is pastor chris to do the needful

People die everyday, you know about his dead [if true] because he is[was] a celebrity

Just heard so now😭😭
Old Age in Nigeria is now 65 years for men and 75 for women. Any man above 65 in Nigeria should just retire and start doing watchful waiting

I don't think anyone brought those two to limelight.
If anyone did, then it is definitely Sam loco

That film called aki and pawpaw staring amechi muonago chinedu ikedieze and osita was the film that made them to be known

That movie gave them the fame and not Amaechi.

It's like saying Ameachi brought Osuofia to limelight because he was in Ukwa

That's the plain and simple truth.
Today alone over 5,000 people must have died all over Nigeria. We only get to hear about the ones close to us, and the ones carried by the news.
It's the circle of life. People are born, they grow old, they die.
