Charles Inojie mourns Mr. Ibu’s death 

Nollywood actor and director, Charles Inojie, has described the death of his colleague, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, as an “irreparable loss” to the Nollywood industry.

He stressed that the late comedy actor is incomparable in Nollywood and that hiring him alone was enough to make a movie a hit. 

In a recent interview with Channels TV, Inojie stated, “There’s sometimes you lose a person in an industry and you say, well, so or so person would replace him. But Mr Ibu is irreplaceable. Mr Ibu spears with every part of his body.

“He is probably one of the few people in Africa that would sit without saying anything and communicate a million messages with his facial expressions, body language and gestures without verbalising just one word of dramatic dialogue. That doesn’t come cheap. We are going to miss that.

“You have John [Okafor], you have a blockbuster.”
