Throwback Photo Of Francis Duru, Olu Jacobs, And Ashley Nwosu by Rapmoney(op): 1:20pm On Oct 23
There are some photos I see, and they remind me of yesteryears. This is a rare throwback photo of late Francis Duru, Olu Jacobs, and Ashley Nwosu. Legendary Nollywood veteran actors.

We remember:

Sam Loco Efe
Dede One Day
Amaechi Muonagor
Pete Eneh
Fabian Adibe
JT Tom West
John Okafor
Enebeli Elebuwa
Justice Esiri
Saint Obi
Ada Ameh
Junior Pope Odonwodo
Muna Obiekwe
David Offor aka Clarus
Alex Ekubo
Oby Kechere
Ernest Asuzu
Emmanuel France aka Tufancha
Jennifer Okere Ossai
Geraldine Ekeocha
Bisi Komalafe
Francis Agu
David Ihesie
Bukky Ajayi

This reminds me of the African play 'Sizwe Bansi Is Dead". Behind the lively photo studio where people go to have nice photoshoots with their family, there is a funeral parlour where their dead bodies are also prepared for burial. The greatest thing in life is life itself.

So fleeting.

Don't leave this world without Jesus Christ. It is better to accept Jesus and repent from all your sins now that you have chance.

It is only repentance through Jesus Christ that takes one to heaven.

He lost his son few years back I think. Heartbreak can be a serious issue especially when you try to stay strong. Grieving is good for the body, sometimes you have to let it out. May God comfort the bereaved. Rest on Saint🌹

Nigerians normally have antiquity bias !

They always have tendency to think that the past is better than present even when its not.Very emotional people!

That is just consolation for the weak and scared people.

When you die, you are dead. Period. There's no difference between a dead man and a dead Rat.

Death is final. The end.

Are you supposed to be telling the whole world how you received him at an Abuja hospital? There should be something called ‘confidentiality’ policy attached to your job.

We exist to exit.
At the end we all die
This world is very useless

For you all to be insulting him like this, he must be supporting APC.

Edit: just checked google, I was right... how can human beings be this predictable and simple

that means you're living a hopeless life.
Your life on earth is meaningless.
What's the essence of living life without hope?
