Official statement from the family of Chief Justus Esiri (OON)

See the statement below...
We are heart broken as we announce the passing of Chief Justus Esiri OON popularly known as the “Village Headmaster”, following a complication from Diabetes.
Chief Justus Esiri OON, was a loving husband, father, grand father, brother, uncle and friend. An Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON), The Otun Amuludun of the Source in Ile-Ife Osun State, and Veteran Nollywood Actor.
He died in the late hours of the 19th of February 2013. Chief Esiri, born on the 6th November 1942 hailed from Oria Abraka, Delta State. He was a strong believer in family values, and a great supporter of Nollywood.
See the rest after the cut...

 



While we mourn the loss of a great man we also celebrate his remarkable life and hope that it serves as an example to the youth to work hard to achieve their dreams, and play their own part in building a greater nation.



For those who may ask what they can do to honour Chief Justus Esiri, we simply request that you honour his example of service, accomplishment and modesty and the next time you turn on your Television and see his face we ask that you keep his memory alive.



He survived by wife, Mrs Omiete Esiri, Children, Mrs Ophlia Edewor, Mrs Ejiro Efijemueh, Mr Justus Esiri Jnr, Dr Sidney Esiri (Dr Sid), Mr Andrew Esiri, Miss Tobor Esiri and Grand Children.




Dr. Sidney Esiri and George Esiri

For the Esiri Family.

      My condolences to Dr. Sid. I know it must be particularly hard for you 'cos you're a man who will always need some form of guidance that only a father can give. I pray you find a father figure who will be in your life, not to replace your wonderful father, but to serve as a voice of reasoning in your journey as a growing man. R.I.P. Justus Esiri

    I empathise with your family for the loss of a great man and a wonderful actor. I pray God give you all the strength to get through this sad time and the only way to do that is by sticking together, I was a fan of this actor and always love watching him, one of the few actors that make me watch Nigerian movies. I wish him eternal rest and his spirit peace. Lovely tribute, the simplicity of it is what made it unique. Rest in peace sir, u will be missed by me and am sure a host of others.

    By the way, this man gave his sons sexy English names and gave his daughters traditional names..lol. I guess its cos dey wont be keeping their surnames after marriage.
