As much as 2017 has been exciting and wonderful, there is so much we are thankful for weather individually and collectively as a nation. Still we cannot end the year 2017 without honoring the veterans in the Nollywood entertainment industry who started the year with us but unfortunately, didn’t end it. These stars may be no more but their legacies live on. Here, we remembers the various Nollywood acts lost to the cold arms of death in 2017.

The Yoruba actress who died on January 2, 2017. Mother of three and married 37 years to a fellow actor; Solomon Majekodunmi (Baba Kekere). A delight to watch especially in the Yoruba movie.
