It was an emotion-laden
atmosphere in Benue State, where Nollywood gathered to bid farewell to one of
their own, Ada Ameh, on Friday morning.
The talented actress, who died
in a Warri, Delta State hospital on 17 July, was laid to rest in her hometown,
Ogobia, in Otukpo LGA.
Also present at the funeral
service were the Deputy Governor of Benue State, Benson Abounu, Benue South
Senator, Abba Moro and the AGN president, Emeka Rollas.
Her best friend, Empress
Njamah, was captured at the funeral crying uncontrollably.
Shortly before the late
actress was laid to rest, Charles Inojie, one of her closest friends in the
industry, penned an emotional tribute to her.
Mr. Inojie, her onscreen
husband in ‘The Johnsons’, captioned the tribute ‘It’s A Wrap for Ada Ameh’.
He wrote, “There lies a chip
in us. Deadpan and ice-frozen. There lies a broken heritage wrapped in a
funeral encasement.
“In that air-tight wooden bed
is our naked truth. No matter the differences we nursed, you can never tell how
much of us is in them. There again is a grim call. A charge to everyone. That
none is promised tomorrow.
“That we may live today as the
best of days. We are spreading love beyond the bounds of our comfortable
thresholds. Till the twilights dim on the hour not foretold. When the once
sonorous symphony fades forever on the morbid horizons of life’s ‘curtain
fall’.”
