    A great vacuum has been created by this ugly death of one of our finest actor. His outstanding roles ANDREW JINGLE, VILLAGE HEADMASTER, AND MULTIPLE NOLLYWOOD movies cannot be easily forgotten. ENEBELI your disciplined life in and out of acting speaks volumes for you and this is a legacy OTHERS in MOVIE industry must emulate.
