A video of veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie paying an emotional tribute to his longtime colleague and friend, Olu Jacobs, has been circulating widely on social media on Wednesday, drawing renewed attention to the painful loss of one of Nigeria’s most celebrated actors. The video captures Edochie describing Olu Jacobs as a brother who “fought like a soldier” and reflecting on the difficult final years of the late actor’s life. Olu Jacobs died at the age of 84 in September 2026, with his family announcing his passing on September 16. The family described his life as one “well lived and fought” and asked the public to respect their privacy as they mourned. His death came after years of serious health challenges. In 2021, his wife, veteran actress Joke Silva, publicly revealed that Olu Jacobs had been diagnosed with Dementia with Lewy Bodies, a progressive neurodegenerative condition. His health struggles had kept him largely away from the public eye in his later years. Against that background, Pete Edochie’s words in the resurfaced video have taken on an even deeper emotional meaning. Edochie described Olu as a peaceful and humorous colleague and said he had fought through his difficulties with the courage of a soldier. He also addressed Joke Silva directly, acknowledging the years of care and sacrifice she gave her husband, telling her, “Joke, you did your best.” One of the most heartbreaking moments comes when Edochie recalls Olu Jacobs’ own words: “Your problems are firmly behind you.” He then reflects on the possibility that those who have passed away may one day recognize one another again, saying there is a possibility that he and Olu could meet again. Edochie also spoke about Olu Jacobs’ remarkable longevity, noting that among their senior colleagues who had passed on, Olu was the one who lived beyond 80. He said that while Nigerians must mourn his death, they should also celebrate the life he lived and the legacy he left behind. The veteran actor further expressed a touching wish that one of Olu Jacobs’ children would take up acting, so that seeing that child on screen would remind people of the legendary actor and the contribution he made to Nollywood. The emotional video comes as tributes continue to pour in following the death of the man widely regarded as one of the major figures in Nigerian theatre, television and film. Olu Jacobs’ career spanned decades, including work in Britain and Nigeria, and he was honoured with the national award of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR). Watch the emotional resurfaced video as Pete Edochie remembers his “brother” Olu Jacobs, speaks about Joke Silva’s six-year ordeal, and delivers a moving farewell that has left many fans reflecting on the lives and legacies of Nigeria’s veteran actors. #OluJacobs #PeteEdochie #JokeSilva #Nollywood #RIPOluJacobs #NollywoodLegend #VeteranActors #NollywoodLegends #EntertainmentNews #OluJacobsTribute #PeteEdochieTribute #RestInPeace #NigerianMovies #AfricanCinema #DDMTV #DiasporaDigitalMedia
Awka Flood Tragedy: Missing UNIZIK Pupil Found Dead After 24-Hour Search A heartbreaking tragedy has struck Awka, Anambra State, after the body of Success Ezenwafor, a pupil of UNIZIK Primary School, was recovered following a devastating flood incident along the Nibo–Isiagu Road. Success was among pupils and adults trapped inside a school shuttle bus after heavy rainfall caused floodwaters to rise rapidly around the road. While seven schoolchildren and two adults were rescued, Success remained missing, triggering an urgent search that continued into Wednesday. Awka South Local Government Chairman, Prince Chinedu Okafor, confirmed that the missing pupil’s body had been recovered. He also said the rescued children were stable and receiving medical attention at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka. According to a family member, Success was remembered as a brave boy who reportedly broke one of the vehicle's windows, creating an escape route that helped other occupants get out. Tragically, he could not make it to safety himself. The circumstances surrounding his final moments have added another layer of heartbreak. His father reportedly recalled that Success kissed him on both cheeks before leaving home that morning to board the school shuttle — a journey from which he would never return. Two other children from the same family were among those rescued. The incident has once again highlighted the dangers posed by rapidly rising floodwaters during periods of heavy rainfall, particularly around roads and communities affected by poor drainage and flooding. The Anambra State Police Command's Safe School Operatives, alongside community members, participated in the rescue operation and subsequent search for the missing pupil. As the Ezenwafor family mourns the loss of young Success, thoughts and prayers remain with his loved ones during this painful period. May the soul of young Success Ezenwafor rest in peace. #AwkaFlood #AwkaFloodTragedy #AnambraFlood #AnambraNews #UNIZIK #UNIZIKPrimarySchool #SuccessEzenwafor #FloodTragedy #FloodDisaster #SchoolBus #SchoolBusTragedy #FloodInAnambra #AwkaNews #AnambraState #NiboIsiaguRoad #FloodAlert #BreakingNews #NigeriaNews #DDMTV #DiasporaDigitalMedia #DDMNews #NewsUpdate #FloodSafety #PrayForAnambra #RestInPeace
Another heartbreaking schoolchildren scare has been reported in Imo State, just hours after a similar incident involving schoolchildren in Anambra State. Schoolchildren were reportedly trapped at Acha River in Umueze Ezimba Autonomous Community, Ihitte Uboma Local Government Area of Imo State, while returning from school. The incident was linked to the poor condition of the bridge, leaving the children struggling to cross as floodwaters overwhelmed their route home. The development has raised fresh concerns about the safety of children who depend on poorly maintained bridges and roads to get to and from school. Coming on the same day as the Anambra school-bus incident, the Imo development has added to growing fears over the dangers schoolchildren face during heavy rains and flooding. The heartbreaking situation has also renewed calls for urgent attention to unsafe bridges and critical access routes used by children and other residents in affected communities. #ImoState #ImoNews #SchoolChildren #SchoolChildrenSafety #AchaRiver #IhitteUboma #UmuezeEzimba #Flood #Flooding #FloodDisaster #BreakingNews #NigeriaNews #SouthEastNigeria #SchoolBus #ChildrenInDanger #Rainfall #BridgeCollapse #DangerousBridge #Anambra #AnambraNews #TrendingNews #Breaking #DDMTV #DiasporaDigitalMedia #DDMNews
