Hundreds of Nigerians have paid tribute to Nollywood icon, Bukky Ajayi Zainab, who passed on today wednesday at the age 82.
The reaction to the passing away of the actress, described by many as a
mother to the country’sNollywood movie industry, has been celebratory
rather than sorrowful.
The late actress had in March been honoured along with Sadiq Daba at
the 2016 edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards for their
contributions towards the development of the nation’s movie industry.
And many Nigerians rejoiced at the face that she was celebrated and
her contributions to the industry recognised during her lifetime rather
than after her death as is often the case.
