A day of celebration at the annual August meeting organized by the Abia State Governor’s wife in Ugwunagbo Local Government Area turned tragic on Monday, August 18, 2025, when a popular entertainer, Mrs. Nwandinma Dickson, widely known as “Nwayi Garri”, suddenly slumped and died during a performance, ABN TV reports.

She was born on October 1, 1960, and was 65 years old.

Mrs. Dickson, a native of Oza Umuebukwu in Nneji Autonomous Community, Ugwunagbo LGA, was scheduled to participate in dance and drama at the high-profile event. Dressed in her performance costume, she moved around different canopies, exchanging greetings and entertaining guests with her usual theatrics.

Eyewitnesses recounted that in the middle of her display, she stooped briefly and then slumped. Many in the audience initially mistook the incident for part of her act and continued cheering, only to realize minutes later that she was unresponsive.

The Mayor of Ugwunagbo LGA quickly intervened and used his vehicle to rush her to the hospital, but medical personnel pronounced her dead on arrival.

Family members told ABN TV that the late Mrs. Dickson had initially expressed reluctance to attend the meeting but eventually decided to honor her scheduled performance.

Her sudden passing has thrown the community into deep mourning, with many describing it as a devastating loss of a woman who used her talent to bring joy to others.

Hmmm
May the soul of the deceased rest in peace.
Could be an underlying illness or something but life is transient.

Please dear Nigerians take care of your health, don't allow the economic situation box your options in terms of diet and exercise.

Most importantly stay away from broke women and feminist, they will destroy you and move to the next available simps, seems we have them in abundance now.

She would have still been alive. If the normal response was given to her

It's been a very difficult month for most people i don't know why

Most of the elderly in the village don't monitor their blood pressure and other key health indicators of their age. Condolences to the family.

May her soul rest in peace. If she had refused to actively participate in this meeting, perhaps would have survived.

RIP. She looked older than 65 though. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

The "MAYOR TITLE" has been in existence since the inception of Alex Otti... He introduced it to replace the "LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMAN TITLE"

In Abia State, the LGA chairmen are called Mayors since Otti became the governor.
