Nollywood Stars Rally Around Ini Edo as She Bids Her Father Farewell

On March 21, the city of Uyo witnessed an outpouring of love and solidarity as Nollywood’s finest gathered to support one of their own—Ini Edo—as she bid a final farewell to her beloved father.

The talented actress, who lost her father weeks ago, ensured he received a befitting burial, honoring his life and legacy. Surrounded by family, friends, and industry colleagues, Ini Edo found comfort in the presence of those who have walked the path of stardom with her.

The event saw a remarkable turnout of Nollywood heavyweights, including Uche Jombo, Rita Dominic, Desmond Elliot, Mary Remmy Njoku, Nancy Isime, Ik Ogbonna, Lilian Afegbai, Ruth Kadiri, and many more, all standing in unity with their grieving sister. Dressed in solemn yet elegant attires, they paid their respects, offering prayers and words of encouragement to the actress and her family.

Beyond the glitz and glamour of the silver screen, this moment was a poignant reminder of the deep bonds that exist within the Nigerian film industry. The show of support reflected not just professional camaraderie but an unbreakable family spirit—one that stands strong even in the face of loss.

As the curtains closed on the solemn ceremony, Ini Edo, though undoubtedly heartbroken, was surrounded by love, proving that in both moments of triumph and sorrow, Nollywood stands together.

May her father’s soul rest in perfect peace
