Amidst ongoing grief, Nollywood actor Charles Inojie reflected on the loss of his colleague, the late John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, describing it as an “irreplaceable void” in Nigeria’s cinematic landscape.
Inojie underscored Mr. Ibu’s unparalleled significance in Nollywood, asserting that his mere presence could elevate a film to blockbuster status.
Speaking to Channels TV in a recent interview, Inojie articulated, “There are losses in the industry where you might anticipate someone else stepping up to fill the gap. But Mr. Ibu is in a league of his own. His comedic genius speaks volumes, transcending mere words through his expressions and gestures. That level of talent is truly priceless and will be sorely missed. With John [Okafor], you’re guaranteed a cinematic gem.”
