Nollywood actress, Lilian Bach has penned an emotional note to her colleague, Saint Obi following his death.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, the veteran movie star who is in disbelief over his death revealed that she called his 2 lines since she heard the news, but his phones remain switched off.
She stated that she called Zeb Ejirp to confirm the news and was left heartbroken after he called her back and confirmed the news to her.
Lilian Bach added that after reading Zik Zulu’s write-up, she had to come to accept that he is no longer with us.
“I have been calling your 2 lines since I heard the news, I didn’t want to believe it. Hence, I continued to call those lines, but they remained switched off. I called @officixduke to help call “Zeb Ejirp” for confirmation of this disheartening news, even after he got back to me with the sad news, I was in denial.
Today, after reading the write-up published by “Zik Zulu”. I have come to accept that you are no longer with us. I had to make another confirmation call to Zik Zulu.
Haaaaaaa!!! My dear friend and colleague, you didn’t tell me anything was wrong with you the last time we spoke. Could it be because you knew I was going through so much stress trying to raise money to pay off bills owed to a hospital where a friend of ours (Johnson Davidson) died? Within a space of close to a year of his demise, you too are gone. I am a very sad woman right now. I can’t stop crying. You had such great plans to launch back into your passion (acting and producing). I liked the huge idea you came up with. It was a brilliant concept and content.
What happened to you? I offered you some advice as regards the divorce turbulence you were going through and also told you to be prayerful. You seemed okay.
Oh no, haaaaaaa, Jehovah. GOD knows best.
Rest in the bosom of our LORD. May GOD protect your kids and give your loved ones the strength to beat this huge loss.
Adieu my gentle and humble friend, Obinna Nwafor (a.k.a Saint Obi).
