On Saturday, the sad news of the passing of the popular Nigerian veteran actor and comedian, John Okafor, aka, “Mr Ibu,” caught many Nigerians by surprise. He was aged 62.
Mr Ibu featured in over 200 Nollywood films, and for many Nigerians, he was a household name for his rib-cracking performances and a source of entertainment throughout our childhoods. Last year, in September, he celebrated 40 years on screen.
Following his passing, tributes poured in from his fellow actors and friends in the movie industry. As we reflect on his legacy, we choose to cherish the countless moments he brought us laughter and joy.
Here are some of the funny moments:
