Nollywood actor turned pastor, Yul Edochie has shared reflections on the inevitability of death following the unfortunate passing of fellow actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu.
KanyiDaily recalls that Mr Ibu passed away on Saturday night, a few weeks after returning from the hospital where he underwent successful surgeries, including the amputation of one of his legs.
Reacting on his Instagram page, Yul Edochie encouraged his fans and followers not to be afraid of death but to view it as a natural and inevitable transition that awaits everyone.
The movie star stressed the transient nature of life, emphasizing that people enter and exit the world in an ongoing cycle.
Yul Edochie urged netizens to prepare themselves for the unavoidable reality of death instead of living in fear of it.
He highlighted the importance of maintaining integrity in interactions with others, advocating for readily extending forgiveness and offering apologies when harm is caused.
“Death is a transition process that awaits us all. No matter what we say or do, it must come. People come and people go. So rather than fear death, we should all prepare for it. Be fair in all your dealings with others. Forgive easily. Apologize when you hurt others. Keep your hands & your heart clean,” he wrote.
KanyiDaily recalls that Nollywood legends, Chiwetalu Agu and Nkem Owoh, better known as Osuofia, also mourned the death of Mr Ibu.
