Bad! Nollywood Mourns Again as Newly Married Top Film-maker Passes Away (Photos)

This is another sad moment for the Nigerian
entertainment industry and Nollywood as top film-
maker and director, has passed away.

A Calabar-born mother of one who is top
Nollywood film-maker and movie director, Ansa
Bassey Kpokpogri, has passed away after
reportedly complaining of pains from peptic ulcer.

Announcing her death, a film-maker, Uduak Isong
Oguamanam, the younger sister of actress and
producer, Emem Isong, took to her Facebook to
write a touching tribute that reads;

"Grief. It makes you remember things. Minute
details, like the sound of their feet, the colour of
their hair and the sweet smell of their body spray.

It makes you regret. The holidays you never took,
the movies you never watched together, the visits
you kept planning to but never made. It reminds you
of your own mortality.

"You wonder if there’s a row call and what your
number is on the list. Death doesn’t warn you. One
moment you’re laughing with a loved one, your
head thrown back, with wanton abandon, the next
your eyes are bloodshot from weeping for a loss
so deep no one can understand. I’ll never
understand, never come to terms with your death.

"You were many things to me; Friend. Sister.
Business partner. Supporter. Colleague. My life was
better because you were in it. Sleep well my
beautiful, adorable, amazing Ansa. Till we meet
again to part no more."
