Tributes Pour In For Muna As Nollywood Colleagues Mourn him.

It has been an outpouring of emotion as players in the Nollywood industry took to their various social media handles to pour out their grief as they remember their colleague who passed on to the great beyond a few weeks ago. 

Take a look below to read a few of their tributes as they bid farewell to one of their own, most especially the heartfelt piece by Tonto Dikeh.

Tonto Dikeh: Just sitting here gazing at a picture of a boy I know but now gone because of an illness that would have been managed. The thought of his lifeless body brings me so much pain and sadness and it is not because I was close to him nor that I cared so much about him but just a mere reflection of how wicked the world is, the extent we go just to hide our pain to avoid being a laughing stock,Gossip item, abused, bullied on social medias and even betrayed by some trusted friends & even our so called Families*
Oh yes that is the awful world we live in,We develop thick skin because we re betrayed almost everyday by people we love and trust so now we try to go through the difficult and trying times alone without sharing with anyone or letting them know what we re going through. Be a Neighbor and a friend that really cares,try and be trustworthy in this wicked and heartless world. I know that there are some good people out there,where re they? We all can’t be evil na,let’s show others hope,love and reason to live again,a tree can’t make a forest,we need each other in one way or the other. HE WAS A SHINING STAR AND THUS YOU WILL THINK HE WILL HAVE TRUE FRIENDS OR A TRUE FRIEND TO LEAN ON AT DIFFICULT TIMES. Its quite sad that I can’t trust anyone with my pain and anytime I wake up I think about death,I think about the freedom and peace that comes when i am gone from the world of hate,betrayal, deceit,Greed,Jealous,anger,Revenge.. I can only wish there is life after death,life that will be void of bad things we have experienced in this current life….May the soul of Muna and the souls we have lost so far Rest in perfect peace..Amen

Stella Damasus: Just confirmed it from some close friends and relatives that he is really dead. The message from twitter that he was still alive was from a fake account. So this is my pain, how do you know what to believe and what not to believe? Where do we draw the line? Over nine thousand people on twitter have believed that he is still alive because of the fake twitter account. REST IN PEACE BRO! I was really hoping that it was a rumor. God rest your soul. This is too painful. Whoever put that message out not the fake twitter account should be careful. Don’t play games with people’s lives like that.

Ini Edo: Oh lord! I am heartbroken to say the least. I know we ain't suppose to question God, I just can’t help dis one ….. His little kids n young wife…where do they go from here? RIP Muna Obiekwe, you were a good happy jolly good fellow. Worked with you on several projects and I sincerely can't remember you having issues with anyone. U will be missed. I can’t still believe dis.

Mike Ezuoronye: So sad…Muna whyyyyyyyyyy ….Ohhh Whyyyyyyyy..R.I.P bro…Nollywood looses another …Whyyyyy

Chika Ike: RIP To My Dear colleague. Muna Obiekwe. You will live in our hearts forever.

Uche Jombo: “It’s not the length of life but the depth of life” RIP muna! Update:it’s sad that someone will try to make this sad day more difficult by tweeting through a fake account. Like you all I wish it was a lie but sadly it’s not.please just pay your respects and stop with the tagging about this fake account user. I refuse to give him 1min.

Uduak Isong: I wish there was no sickness in the world. RIP Muna.

Van Vicker: OMG! When death strikes Nollywood or the African film industry stars ‘I Shake’ but I KNOW HE is in control. Muna my broda I had the opportunity to work with you twice in my career, you did inspire me to be at my best. RIP.

Halima Abubakar: Very very shocked at the news of this great guy,warm person he was, and playful..I never knew he was sick not to talk of him being married.. I feel so sad about the young family he left behind…God knows best. Am lucky that I had several jobs with him,sum not out yet..we will miss u.. Hmmm muna may ur soul rest in peace… Kai I don’t know what to add..I love you #Rip wao did I just wrote rip?omg muna. Pls kindly don’t ask me questions cos am not in the right frame of mind to ans… Just pray for him pls thank you loves.

Ify Okeke: I truly hate to be a harbinger of bad news but I want to confirm that MUNA OBIEKWE IS DEAD! And am so angry! Yes not just because we lost another great talent but because in this industry we are not our brothers kepper. Yes,Muna mighty have wanted or lived a private life but people knew he was sick,people knew his health condition and yet what did they do,some tried but if they had cried out to the world MUNA might have gotten help. We are just colleagues NO REAL FRIENDS! Rest In Peace MUNA.
