Prince Noel Tochukwu Unegbu, the creator and CEO of Imo Got Talent was shot dead in his room at Rapour Hotel in Owerri today February 4th by unknown gunmen. The Houston, Texas based CEO of Prince Noel Production arrived Nigeria this January to attend meetings and wrap up preparations for the second edition of IGT, which was to hold in a few months time, when he met his untimely death.
The show promoter & talent manager was a graduate of Psychology from the university of Portland and was a native of Akokwa in Ideato South LGA of Imo state.
Heard he was a single guy. His life cut short in his prime. Too sad. His friends have been mourning his passing on social media. See more tweets from his friends...

That's very bad but there's more to this story obviously. Gunmen won't just enter a room and kill a man for no reason...
Reason why most people are always scared to come back home
Reason why most people are always scared to come home
Some times one can't stop asking questions. Who has he offended?What has he done Worng?Why should people derive joy in causing pains in families?Sucha Promising Young Man.......This is why Nigeria has not done anything to put things in place....Our Citizens in Diaspora are Scared of coming Home,our Home-based Citizens are scared of moving freely in our own country Nigeria. Indeed There was a Country.......A Country that knew no war......the Country of selfless leaders,the country where the people's interest were fought for by our great Democrats irrespective of their lives being at stake.....Where is that Country today? In Tears I say "RIP"..May God grant your soul eternal rest and bless your family members u left behind.
Wow, RIP bro.

Chai,look at such a cool guy whose his life is being taken away just like that,may his soul rest in peace,we will be fine with God's judgement towards those illitrates that killed him who cannot create mosquito blood.its painful because that could have been me 3 years back when I visited home.shadding tears,prince.

It is such a shame that the motherland is unsafe.. I still say make these guns accessible, lets see whose gun is better when evil people decide to show themselves.. Bastard evil doers.

Harnikky

Exactly my point. Y did he lodge at Rapour hotel of all places. Dat probably has rats n snakes n creepy crawlies in Amakohia.
Eyah
Shit!! Shit! Shit! Linda u must follow up for justice. What nonsense. Such a handsom dude. He left tx 20 Jan and being killed in less than a month. The government of imo should explain n produce d killers. And that hotel also. Good vision, nice guy wasted. How can naijas abroad fell free to come home n impact knowledge to d younth. Oh no this cant be true. ..crying.
Security challenges always a problem in this country.. Instead of tackling vital issues they are looking out for unnecessary actions to carry out like the Ban of sachet water production and sales.. Make I no talk pass like this. Dint know if they've passed the bill on cyber whatever #Mr Lucky
Hw I wish I knw dose dat killed u,I would ha cm out 2 say it so dey will be killed d same way dey killed u God punish dem nonsense instead people will be praying 4 God 2 bless dem d same way he blessed odas wat dey re after is hw dey will waste d ones God has blessed RIP nwoke oma God will surely tk care of ur killers
Emmanuel, you came back with good tidings for our people and now this..... we talked about how big the season 2 of Imo Got Talent would be and now this..... you left for the US to pursue your passion when becoming a priest became impossible after leaving the Seminary and now this.... we relished the joy of eventually ensuring that IGT starts this February and now this.... God I am so moved to ask 'why' but I won't because You hold the key to our lives. Please grant Toochukwu Emmanuel Unegbu aka PrinceNoel my friend eternal rest in Your bossom... Amen. For the records, Emma was from Akokwa in Ideato North of Imo State and not Akogwa in Ideator South as reported. This life sha.......
This guy wouldn't go to that rapour.hotel.with his clear eye, cuz that hotel is old and irritating, the person that lured him to that hotel killed him. Shikena...RIP my imo brother.....
In nigeria,d righteous keeps dying bt d wicked liv n continue do evil
RIP broda.
RIP dear, *tears* sometimes I wonder why we complain about the government when we are the problem in that country taking the life of your fellow citizen won't make you a true nigerian. where is the love for one another? when you are filled with envy, jealousy, hatred what more can come out of that nothing but this type of situation that happened to this young and promising man. May God give his family the strength to bear this irreparable loss.
So sad. RIP.
He was my blossom friend. He always call me from Houston telling me how he wants to empower the people of Imo. May his killers never go unpunished.. Adeui bro..Sley
Imo State and it's political killings.The management of that hotel should do more security wise.It is my favourite neighbourhood hotel in Owerri.Linda it is Akokwa,in Ideato North LGA.As an Nkwerre girl,you should know better,since it is about 25 minutes drive to your place.
When they tell them to read righteous man in power....they won't read. Another life wasted.All you do is promote gay marriages. Lord help you.
RIP Dear.
This was how they shot and killed Irawo Adamolekun in Lagos traffic and no body has done anything!
*Chayanna*

I read on imo state blog website that he was pronounced dead when they got to FMC hospital. This is very sad. Somebody posted on his fb page that he received money from the govt for contract he did or somethn like dat on Monday b4 he died. That also makes sense bcos his last status on his fb was a "check in" at govt. House and he wrote #meetingthings.
Sorry bro. RIP
The evil men do these days even surprise the devil himself.... RIP bro and may ur killers be brought to law amen!!!
Really sad, who could have done this? Too many wicked people in that country, it could even be people that are close to him out of jealousy…Hmm. R.I.P
U cant really blame d police in this case. Probably, d guy just gave himself up by showing off to d wrong people that him carry n those people took advantage of d info he fed them abt his lifestyle.
Too bad it ended this way
...That's a good start to findig d killers cuz some of d hotel staff orchestrated this murder from d info they received about d guy
So tell us d real truth if u doubt that he died as Linda informed us...hope its not true. Please, tell us, we're waiting 4 d real truth
naija politician are wickced. Let your soul haunt those who killed you at this prime age. We will miss you bro
Rapour Hotel has always been a den of Robbers. It was the same Hotel where Sam Locco Died. The Owner was a 419 Kingpin, may be they thought the guy has Dollars. R.I.P
Casually reading the blog and I see my uncle has been shot dead. Speechless is all I am right now...Rip
Rest In Peace Brother...
u must be a mortuary attendant in USA since u dnt knw the difference btw blossom and bossom.
May ur soul rest in peace nwanne,God knows best.
Rip 2 d dead.
Yes! This old village mentality still exist amongst some of our people. Instead of tapping from his talents, by helping his efforts to blossom, so they can also grow from him, those people have just cut his life off out of jealousy
What a sad news i just came back from Naija a week ago very peaceful xmas n new year no kidnapping no robbering until now very shocking story, possibly something is behind this guys death, rest in peace dear.

This same Rapour hotel Sam loco died in.
I've not stepped into Africa since 2003 and I DO NOT have the urge to. Too much evil
Emma, I still remember the last evening i stayed with you at the parish, and how we shared the stories about our secondary school days and our experiences outside the country, how happy we were when we were parting. Emma so that will be the last. i cant hold my tears. May the Lord who allowed this to happen to you take you into His kingdom, where we will meet to part no more. Sleep well Uneeee as we used to greet Till we meet to part no more.
HOUSTON will miss you!!!
It is a great pain to lose a great son of igbo land. may his soul rest in peace amen
Hell await wasters of blood whether they believe it or not. Should this be a reward to get for this young promising Nigerian for having his country in mind. I wonder what people gain from killing fellow human. But the truth is that the wicked will never go unpunished. May the Lord console your family and good friends. RIP
Had the opportunity of doing some media hype for him and his Imo Got Talent project. I even got a US visa to travel for the later cancelled IMO Day in Houston Texas, through him. Called me wen he flew into Lagos and when he got into Owerri, just as we always chatted on BB as we always pinged. Am short of words, but truth is no matter where he stayed, no matter what happened, the Government of IMO State MUST ensure that the Police brings his killers to book! No excuse and it's as simple as that. We counting and soon we will go haywire on the streets of IMO till the Police does its job. No excuse!
Adieu Noel. Stan Nkwocha
Prince Noel gets Candle light concert March 2.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Friends of late United State of America based show promoter, Prince Noel Tochukwu Unegbu will on
March 2, 2014 hold a Candle Light Concert for the deceased in Owerri.
The event which is event to feature testimonies and performances will be held at Heroes Lounge’s Pool
Side from 5:00pm to 7:30pm.
Friends of the deceased around and outside the country will attend the event en masse to support the family.
His friends in Houston, Texas have already set the ball rolling by putting up a similar event on February 28, at Igbo Catholic Community Centre
8250 Creek Bend DR Houston Texas from 8:00pm to 2:00am.
Prince Ikem Obioma, one of the facilitators of the event in Nigeria and project manager IMO GOT TALENT said “Noel deserves a bigger event because he has always believed in talents that are rooming the streets. He put up Imo Got Talent to harness
them; his dream was to see talented children from the streets become international stars. He spent his
money for it, came home for it and died while trying to achieve it. There is nothing more we can do for him now but to support the family and see that his dreams are sustained”
Comedians Yellow Mouth, and Prince White are to make appearances at the event while Acharaman, LMG, Floxy are among the artistes to perform at the event.
Those who wish to support or play any role at the event can contact Hardy on 08038704454 or
Obioma on 07066978780.
I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter
a blog that's both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit
the nail on the head. The problem is something that not
enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy that I found this in my hunt for something relating
to this.
