Yet again another loss to the Nigerian film industry , Nollywood as popular film producer, marketer and film distributor, Chukwuma Emeliowu
AKA KASVID dies in a ghastly motor accident. Mr. Emeliowu was actually very optimistic as one of his children will be getting married.
How do you wake up to such a heart breaking , devastating news . KASVID ? Gone !!! This is indeed a tragedy,My heart weeps for NOLLYWOOD my beloved industry once again . Is it a crime I ask ? Is it a crime to give your children’s hands in marriage . Chukwuka Emeliowu AKA KASVID certainly wouldn’t be doing that anymore because he’s gone so soon and so unceremoniously. I am truly in tears . A man who brought so much joy to our screens , put food on the tables of many many actors and film makers ,a man who made stars , a man behind the camera , a film producer , marketer , distributor gone with the wind ‘ghastly motor accident ‘ REALLY!!!!!. We don’t know how many more of such news Nollywood can take . NOLLYWOOD IS TIRED , THE STRUGGLE IS TOO MUCH . I celebrate you KASVID . To borrow the words of my mentor @lancelot Imasuen :Emeliowu I nor fit cry, I nor sleep.. Ah inor fit come and go and die... Death.. Death ah death.. Okay ..okay... Its alright ooo
