In what has become like an evil wind blowing
across the entertainment industry in Nigeria and
just as Nigerians are yet to come to terms with
the death of Goldie, popular Abuja based actor,
director and producer, Collins Ifeanyi Chukwu is
dead.
The artiste died yesterday at the Maitama General
Hospital after a brief illness. He is survived by his
young wife, Blessing Collins, and little son, Doxa
Efechukwu Collins.
The news, which was confirmed yesterday by the
chairman of the guild in Abuja, Agility Onwurah,
has thrown the Abuja chapter of AGN into
mourning. The usually boisterous Access Garden,
which is the official location of the guild’s
activities, was full of tears and wailings yesterday.
A call placed to
his wife yesterday was answered by her mother
who said Blessing Collins was not in the right
frame of mind to speak. The mother-in-law
however confirmed the sad news.
Doxa Efechukwu Collins, his sole heir, was born on
May 12, 2012, and was dedicated on Sunday July
22 at the Christ Chosen Church of God,
Gwarimpa, Abuja, after which his parents treated
entertainment practitioners to a lavish ceremony
at their Jikwoyi residence.
“It is quite unfortunate that the young lady has
been widowed at this early age with such a little
boy. This is a big loss, not only to the family, but
to the entertainment industry in Abuja,” Frank
White, chairman of the Producers Guild of Nigeria,
Abuja Chapter lamented.
The late Collins had a knack for producing gospel
movies and has to his credit The Burning Flames,
el-Gibor, Back to Bethel, and was before his
death, working on another blockbuster.
He is one of the very successful Abuja based
entertainers who have been able to prove that
you don’t have to be in Lagos to make it in the
industry.
Until his death, he was the PRO elect of the Actors
guild of Nigeria, AGN, Abuja chapter
