ENUGU STATE TO GIVE SAM LOCO STATE BURIAL

Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State (Nigeria), has pledged that the Enugu State government will give, the late veteran actor, Sam Loco Efe, a state burial.
The late actor passed away in the early hours of Sunday (Aug. 7, 2011) in the city of Owerri, where he was working on a movie. Even though the late actor is from Edo State, he was born in Enugu.

Meanwhile, more people continue to pay tributes to the late actor. Nollywood stars, Chioma Akpotha, Emeka Amakeze, and Adaora Ukoh, are just three of the many, who have paid tribute to him.

Chioma Akpotha
"Uncle Sam was a prolific and seasoned actor. His death came as a shock and this is one too many. He shall be greatly missed by all. May God give his family the fortitude to bear this huge loss. Rest in peace Uncle Sam....Rest!"

Emeka Amakeze
"Tears in my heart! My dear friend is gone! Sam Loco is gone but the laughter of the jokes we shared last Saturday still echoes in my bones! He was a good man & I will miss his fatherly advice, his inspiration & the passion we share for acting which he has made more difficult by journeying to eternity in the line of duty."

Adaora Ukoh
"My heart bleeds at such a great loss. I am still in deep shock. He was a rare gem, the funniest of them all. Sam Loco lights up my screen."

  31. May the roads rise to meet you,
    May the wind be always at your back,
    May the sun shine warm upon your face,
    The rain fall soft upon your fields
    And, until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
    Adieu Sam !
