Following the death of
Nollywood actor, Muna
Obiekwe, last Sunday, after a
protracted battle with failing
kidney which finally gave in on
Sunday, an air of gloom
descended on the industry,
prompting many to question
their lifestyles and warning
colleagues to do the same.
Tributes began to pour in for the
deceased, just as colleagues
exchanged messages of love,
sharing the loss and embracing
in a sombre camaraderie that
only could come from losing a
dear one.

Amid the tears, the sobs and
sheer disbelief is a man who
must feel the loss than most
people. Not because he is a kin
or of same family with the
deceased but because he suffers
from the same ailment from
which his colleague has just
passed away. To him, death is
never far away. He had come
close to seeing it many times but
has always won. The man is
Emma Ugolee, former on-air-
personality.
“Too many phone calls last night
only with everyone just checking
to see how I was doing. It all
made sense when news filtered
in that Muna Obiekwe had just
died from a disease I’ve battled
for over three years now. The
general concern being the
psychological impact of being
reminded of the likelihood of
one’s demise owing to the
unpredictable and deadly nature
of living without a kidney,” he
recalled his experience a night
after Muna’s death.
“For closer friends, aware that I
had lost 10 associates to this
struggle. Three being in the last
Three months and that each one
lived with issues less complicated
than mine. Calling me was like
checking up on a pal on death
row,” he observed somberly.
But Emma Ugolee, as much as
he may see himself on death
row, isn’t sitting helplessly,
expecting the hangman to come
with the noose. He has hope and
he shared it with colleagues:
“Now it was time to return the
calls and assure every single one
that the unfortunate event is no
reason to lose faith,” he said
“It’s no proof that I must toe a
similar line. That I am not holier
than those whose journeys have
ended and thus wise enough to
understand that logic does not
explain the sustaining power of
grace. The fact that a pattern
surrounds you, does not mean
your future has been moulded
by it. Your faith, your vision,
aspiration and motivation must
tower above your environment
all the time. What around you
shakes your faith in you? What
around you weakens your
resolve to try? What tempts you
to want to conform? Nothing,
should be the only answer you
know,” he counselled.
