On May 13, 2023, the news of the death of veteran actor, Saint Obi, whose real name is Obinna Nwafor, swept across the entertainment landscape.

Since his demise, many have taken to social media to express their condolences to the family and share their feelings of grief. Despite the loss, Obi's legacy lives on in his art, where he poured his heart and soul into his creations.

The actor, who was a successful on-screen legend, made childhood for many of us notable by presenting eccentric performances whenever he had the chance.

Known as the action movie star of his era, he was born on November 16, 1965, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Obi began his acting career in the late 1990s and quickly became a household name due to his exceptional talent and good looks.

Before his demise, he appeared in numerous Nollywood films, but here are five of the most notable films that made him a force to be remembered forever.

1. Candle Light (1998)
Saint Obi's breakthrough role came in the film Candle Light, directed by Chico Ejiro. The film featured the actor star as one of the male leads alongside other talents but he shines through, earning him a spot in other movies. The film was a massive success and is still considered a classic in Nollywood.

2. State of Emergency (2000)
Saint Obi appeared in the film State of Emergency, which Teco Benson directed. It is a Nigerian action movie about vengeful former soldiers who hold government ministers hostage for a set of demands. Obi's performance in the film earned him more acclaim and helped solidify his status as a leading actor in Nollywood.

3. Sakobi, the Serpent Girl (2001)
The movie stars Obi and Susan Patrick, with direction by Zeb Ejiro. The plot revolves around a man named Francis, who is punished with a short lifespan of wealth after a plot to use his daughter as a ritual sacrifice fails. He also falls in love with a snake girl named Sakobi who turns his life upside down.

4. Wanted Alive (2001)
In the 2001 movie directed by Chico Ejiro, Obi plays the leader of a criminal gang who's trying to get out of a life of crime. The film stars other action stars like Hanks Anuku, Jerry Amilo, Paul Obazele, Emeka Enyiocha, and Tuvi James. It is also one of the many films that made the audience fall in love with the Nigerian James Bond, Saint Obi.

5.Festival of Fire (2002)
The on-screen legend also showcased his talent in this all-time classic directed by Chico Ejiro. The movie tells the story of a village that sacrificed human beings until the involvement of the church and Christianity.

State of emergency that year
RIP legend 💔

It was the ' Sakobi ' for me. .

Sakobi was released in 1999

ORACLE

Directors, the like of Chico Ejiro, Teco Benson and one other guy again, he's late too, their movies were top notch, not what we see now, mtcheeeww

Our own van damme

Saint Obi was having a flourishing acting career until his desire to marry a financially strong woman led him to marry one stone-hearted woman who was a senior executive in telecom industry and who happens to come from a wealthy family. At the end of the day, money Saint Obi no see. Rather, having fathered some children, Saint Obi was thrown out of his home and his children taken far away from him. Consequently, Saint Obi's fight against this woman and her strong family took a toll on him and the rest is history.

I don't know why his friends are speaking in parables instead of saying things as they are to honour his memory.

Lesson: Sometimes, money is not everything.

May his soul rest in peace, Amen.

Damnnn niggar

I can't believe saint obi is dead

This life everything come and go
Sometimes don't stress yourself for this life


Just grab a bottle smoke, drink and relax..play your favourite games 🎮 ps5
If your baby girl dey around just be inside her and relax

May his soul rest in perfect peace

Take Me To Mama
RIP Saint Obi

I can only remember him in one film like that where they went for a cruise party, and I think they started killing the girls. Genevieve was in that movie

State of Emergency! It was the film to watch back then. Tension and suspense at its best.

Saint Obi was one of the best. He played all his roles with class and distinction. From being a loverboy, hero, gangster etc.

Then, if Saint Obi, Hanks Anuku, Gentle Jack, Sam Dede, Segun Arinze and co did not feature in any action movie we are about to watch, we loose interest quickly.

A legend anytime any day, our dear childhood hero.

How time flies

State of emergency was a banger

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY!
My favorite.💋

RIP life insurance is jesus christ only in him eternity of bliss is guaranteed
