List Of Dead Nollywood Stars by FoxyFlow(m): 12:06pm On Dec 10, 2013
I sat down this morning and was watching African Magic. Men, stars who had gone to the great beyond were just bubbling all over the TV. Men, I was touched. I decided to run a little research on the stars. How they died and every thing.....


David Ihezie, 70
One of the founder members of Nollywood, Ihezie died at his home in January 2012 following a shortbattle with Arthritis. Ugandans fondly remember him for his roles in David and Goliath, Brain Master, Player No 1 and King of the Forest.

James Iroha aka Gringori 69
Circumstances surrounding his death unknown

Lekan Lekison - -
Investigations revealed that the man died of a heart related ailment.

Sam Loco Efe, 66
Prolific stage/screen thespian Efe succumbed under unclear circumstances in his by CouponDropDown” style=”padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; list-style: none; border: 0px none; color: #444444; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;”>hotel room at the beginning of August 2011. Police reports later suggested the actor died of acute asthma, as two canisters of ventolin inhalers were discovered at the scene. We will, nonetheless, remember multi-award winning Efe as the gap-toothed funnyman who appeared in over 200 movies in a career spanning three decades, including the unforgettable Heart of Stone, Open & Close, Husband My Foot and Away Match.

Justus Esiri 71
Declared one of the strong men of the African film industry, Justus Esiri has indeed earned his fame. He attended Urohobo College and later went to Germany to study engineering where he developed an interest for theater. Thus he began his acting career on stage in Germany. He was the only Nigerian male performing on stage in the years 1968/69. He also worked for voice of Nigeria VON, German Service as a translator. He was performing on stage in Germany when a delegation from Nigeria invited him to perform in Nigeria in a Government sponsored program, when he went to Nigeria, his homeland, he never went back to Europe. His fame was launched widely for his role in the ever popular African TV series, the village headmaster where he played the "Headmaster".

Pete Eneh, 68
Eneh’s death in November 2012 following a leg infection has largely been attributed to spiritual attacks, ironically in line with roles he excelled at in his screen characters. Doctors at a local facility opted to amputate the actor’s leg after an earlier improper treatment had left it swollen. The operation, however, soured the illness, causing his death. Like Elebuwa, Eneh’s body is yet to be buried. Eneh is most remembered for his fatherly roles in Lonely Life, Divided Kingdom, Price of Ignorance, Heavy Rain and His Grace.

Enebeli Elebuwa, 66

Face of Nollywood, Elebuwa died in December 2012from a stroke he had suffered the previous year. In his quest for healing, the aging actor visited, among others, a controversial Nigerian pastor until finally being airlifted to an India hospital from where he died. His body is due for burial sometime this month. Burly and beardy Elebuwa was notable for his kingly gait which mostly saw him play snobbish characters. He is remembered for such films as Abuja Connection, Bent Arrows, Royal War and Lasting Love.

Collins Ifeanyi
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 15th February, 2013 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 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.

Donald Okoli

One thing about movie producer/scriptwriter, Donald Okoli death is the fact that a lot of mysterious stories have surrounded his passage in the past one week. Right now,top key players in Nollywood are insisting that Donald who was fondly called “The Don” died of ailment related to homos**ual lifestyle. Insiders revealed to us that he gave up the ghost at Military Hospital Yaba,after many months of struggling with anal bleeding and infection. According to the information gathered,Donald was a popular gay and was called”Pampers” during his life time. It was alleged that he was playing the woman to many Nollywood Marketers and top Producers,who are deep into the act and have introduced many young filmmakers into it. Don they swear was among them and he allegedly wore diapers for over two years,but he was lying to friends who discovered his ordeal that he had urinary track infection and diabetes which made him pass urine uncontrollably. He equally claimed that he was using diapers to wedge his waste products to avoid embarrassment. They equally claimed that Donald had all attributes of women in his disposal and till death he was s*x partner of a popular movie director who was the rave of the moment 3 years back who shares his second name with Nigerian’s first chattered accountant. As gathered from reliable sources,on Wednesday,September 21,2011,he started bleeding and was rushed to Military Hospital Yaba,where he spent two days and gave up the ghost.
