The Nigerian film industry, Nollywood, has been plunged into mourning yet again with the untimely demise of veteran actor Zulu Adigwe.

The sad news spread rapidly across social media platforms on Tuesday, as fans and colleagues alike expressed their shock and sorrow.

The passing of Adigwe was confirmed by prominent movie producer Stanley Nwoko, who took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news.

In a poignant post, Nwoko bid farewell to the talented actor, writing, “Rest in peace, good actor.”

This tragic loss strikes the industry only two weeks after the devastating boat accident in Anam River, which claimed the lives of Junior Pope and three other Nollywood actors.

The actors were reportedly en route to a filming location when the tragic incident occurred.

Adigwe, renowned for his portrayal of fatherly figures in Nollywood productions, achieved acclaim for his memorable roles. Notably, he rose to prominence as Mr. B in the beloved sitcom “Basi and Company.”

Additionally, his presence graced the successful 2019 film “Living in Bondage: Breaking Free.”

While originally from Enugu State and spending his formative years there, Adigwe later relocated to Austria, where he completed his primary and secondary education.

Nigerian singer, Ric Hassani has shared his thoughts on the Afrobeats musical style.

He claims that over time, Afrobeats music has become significantly worse in quality.

He is of the view that the popular songs of today are “not very good music,” insisting that the hits of the past were excellent songs.

Recently, Hassani was featured on the Channels TV show Rubbin’ Minds with Ebuka.

He said, “Afrobeats is Nigerian music. Our guys are top 10 and I feel like because of that the quality of music might stop dropping because more people want to get in. So the quality is really dropping.

“Back in the days, hit songs were serious music but now almost anybody is just coming in. Most of the hit songs in Nigeria now are not very good music. Back in the days it wasn’t like this. I feel like because we have been number one for so long, everybody is just dropping whatever they like and throwing money behind it.”

Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has said women need males even though they are “crazy.”

Savage, who recently collaborated with Simi on the song “Men Are Crazy,” expressed her enjoyment of working with the “Duduke” crooner.

Recently, she called Simi “a queen in Afrobeats” and called their collaboration “magical” in an interview with MTV Live.

She said, “My collaboration with Simi is titled ‘Men Are Crazy But I Still Want One In My Bed.’

The inspiration behind it is that men are crazy but we can’t do without them.

“Simi is somebody that I’ve always wanted to work with. She is a queen in Afrobeats so both of us coming together on such an amazing track is magical,” she added.
