Just
as Nigerians, especially music lovers are trying to come to terms with the
sudden death of Goldie, a Nollywood actor, Lugard Onoyemu has been reported
dead.
Onoyemu who was the pioneer secretary of Actors Guild of Nigeria
(AGN) Lagos chapter slumped and died during a football training yesterday
evening at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos. Confirming his death, the
state chairman of the Guild, Emeka Rising Ibe said that the deceased who had
been battling a heart related ailment, was immediately rushed to the hospital
but couldn’t make it.
Ibe added that Onoyemu’s body has been deposited at the Lagos
State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). With tear soaked eyes, an actress,
Angela Phillips said “ I couldn’t cry when I heard the death of Goldie but up
till now, I have not stopped crying since I heard of the death of Lugard. It is
too painful.
This was a man that sacrificed everything for AGN and got
nothing. AGN is like a baby to him and he just suffered for this industry and
look at the way he died? People have been dying but this one is different. The
well to do in the industry know that he has been ill yet, did nothing to help
him, now that he is gone, they will start making donations. It is sad.” It was
gathered that the late thespian from Delta State had featured in numerous
flicks.
