Announcement of Charles Owoyemi’s death
With deep hearts full of pain, we announce the passing away of our good great friend and colleague CHARLES OWOYEMI. Who died on Friday the 19th of July, after a brief illness.
Charles was a quiet and near introverted personality. His strengths are in his brain and hands which he applied to his chosen career in the creative world. He was a super scriptwriter with records.
Charles wrote over 50 scripts for episodes of The New Village Headmaster between 1984 and 1990 when NTA rested the programme. He wrote scripts for Second Chance, another NTA network series.
He created the powerful network soap Opera on NTA “FORTUNES” and Co-produced with him Buy Us and Zeb Ejiro from 1993 to 1995. Charles also wrote part of “PALACE” scripts, the popular AIT soap Opera we produced from 1997 to 1999. He wrote several others and film scripts.
Some of the notable Nigerian actors and actresses that emerged from his works are Segun Arinze, Liz Benson, Regina Askia, Ramsey Noah, Patrick Attah, Okey Bakkasi and many others.
We pray almighty God to preserve his gentle soul, grant him a comfort zone in heaven and watch over his Immediate and extended family membership left behind.
ADIEU CHARLES ADIEU OUR GOOD GREAT BROTHER, FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE
