Obinna Nwafor, well known as his stage name Saint Obi in Nollywood, has passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, May 7, 2023, it was reported that the tragic event took place following a lengthy sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, he passed away after a lengthy hospitalization for an unnamed ailment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A source told blogger Moji Delano that the actor, whom he had seen a few times and recognized as Saint Obi, had died on Sunday and that his body had been transported to the mortuary at Jos University Teaching Hospital, JUTH, the following day. This transpired following a trip to see his sister in Jos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jos, the capital of the Plateau State, is where Saint Obi is claimed to have just moved to live with his sister and is frequently seen being taken to the hospital. Mr. Obi’s regular visits to JUTH were confirmed by an insider there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saint Obi’s sister, Mrs. Felicia Jofu, appears to be purposefully withholding information regarding her brother’s death at this time, as no formal announcement has been issued. His relationship with his ex-wife, Lydia, is unclear at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until his untimely death, the actor from Imo had appeared in more than a hundred films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saint Obi shot to fame in the ’90s and ’00s thanks to his impressive turn in over 200 films. Candle Light, Farewell Tomorrow, Heart of Gold, Executive Crime, and State of Emergency all featured him in notable roles. Because of his magnetic personality, impressive acting skills, and unwavering commitment to his profession, he quickly rose to prominence as one of Nollywood’s top stars at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saint Obi’s influence on Nollywood can be seen not just in his acting but also in his work as a film producer and director. His influence on the Nigerian film industry is still felt even though he has retired from acting in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The loss of Saint Obi has been felt throughout the Nollywood industry and beyond by his many devoted followers and fellow actors. As they mourn his premature passing, they honor his legacy and the imprint he left on the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
