The interment which could aptly be described as a festival
of tears, eulogies and mourning was graced by the young comedian’s colleagues
from entertainment industry, especially comedians who flew to Nkpa to support
him with their valuable presences.
“Torrents of
glowing tributes have continued to pour forth from my colleagues. My late
father was an elder in Methodist Church, Okpuhu, Nkpa. That shows you how
religious and respected he was. He contributed so much, especially to the
development of his community and beyond. I had a very memorable father-son
relationship with him, a reason I abandoned my job for three weeks in Lagos and
stayed with him at Obioma Hospital, Umuhia,” Elder O who is the first child in
a family of six boys told Sunday Express
amid tears. The rib-cracker who prides himself as the youngest elder of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is indeed an emerging star comedian. His unique style of dressing-natively-and ability to hold his audience swaying in laughter stands him out in the league of comedians.
