Actress Ngozi Ezeonu Faces Backlash After Tribute To Late Colleague

Seasoned actress Ngozi Ezeonu has faced backlash from fans after sharing tributes to late colleague, Nkechi Nweje.

Ezeonu expressed shock and sorrow over Nweje’s passing, revealing she had no idea of her health struggles.

She described Nweje as one of the kindest individuals she met in the industry.

“It is so difficult to believe you are gone ezigbo nwanyi onicha. I never knew you were ill. So I will never see your ever smiling face again. Nkechi, you were one of the nicest people I met in nollywood. This is indeed a big blow. GO WELL MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER,” she wrote.

However, fans are questioning how Ezeonu could be unawares of Nweje’s health issues, sparking a heated debate in the comments section.

Ezeonu’s tribute was meant to honor Nweje’s memory but it has instead ignited a conversation about the disconnect between Nollywood celebrities.
