Today is a sad day in Nollywood. Africa's largest film industry has just lost Amaka Igwe, 51, one of the greatest icons of Nigerian TV and Film. She passed on to eternal glory in the early hours of Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Reliable sources said she suffered an Asthma attack and died on the way to the nearest hospital. Amaka Igwe to me, was the "Mama of Nollywood", because of her outstanding motherly role in leadership and mentoring many young men and young women she helped to excel and succeed as actors, producers and managers on TV and the big screen. And her name will be written in gold for her great legacy in the history of Nollywood. Mrs. Igwe is survived by her husband Mr. Charles Igwe, their three children Ruby, David and Daniel, her mother and other members of her family and relations. May God grant us the fortitude to bear this great loss. ~ Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima, Publisher/Editor, Nigerians Report Online . ...
