Six Nollywood stars who died in 2021

There is this sense of finality that comes with death.

It brings about rude re-awakening when you realise that it is finished, no going back, no room to right any more wrong.

Death also has a way of bringing to the fore emotions one never imagined possible.

Nollywood has been hit with one too many deaths in the first four months of 2021.
