Nollywood actor, Nosa Rex or
Baba Rex, has taken to social media to announce the death of his father,
Friday Okunzuwa Uzamere.
Nosa in a lengthy post shared
via his Instagram page, penned down an emotional tribute whilst describing his
late father as everything since he lost his mother 15 years ago.
According to the actor, his
late father had battled with an undisclosed illness and was on life
support since January. He added that despite his late father’s health crisis, he
went on with his daily job which entailed making people laugh while he cried
every night.
In his words: “The worst moment of
my life. (I just got the strength to write this). Rest in Peace DADDY (MR.
Friday Okunzuwa Uzamere is dead).
“He was sick and has been on
life support since last month. While I made the world laugh on my page every
day, I cry every night. I tried my best, I prayed, fasted and was ready to go
broke just to bring him back to life but God knows best.
“My dad was my everything.
Since I lost my mum (15 years ago) he has been playing the role of a father and
mother. He taught me a lot about life and family. I decided to marry and settle
down early because of the relationship I had with my dad.
“He was like my elder brother.
He had me in his early 20s. I could tell my dad everything and anything. With
tears in my eyes, I say Rest in Peace Daddy. My hero, My supporter, My inspiration,
My role model.”
