ReplyDeleteI will miss you Mr. Loco. Your films brought me so much laughter.I will remember you advising Ini Edo (your daughter in the movie) to marry Hanks Anuku "bcos he is tall, very very tall" Lol. And your role in Alice my first lady, Old School. Those are just timeless.

We love you dAddy Efe..... Nollywood no one can replace him..
ReplyDeleteI not sad. This guy has gone for a concert on the other side. This side is getting crowded sef.
ReplyDeleteHe is off to see Micheal Jackson rocking the other world and the Pope doing his thung and the rest of the entertainment crew.
All together now......
Sam Loco, RESPECT!!!
'tion Sir!!
This reminds me of high school days when we went to bury our Maths Teacher who made it easy to love Maths. Everyone was so sad in the bus and one of the most hilarious girls in the class started 'mimicking him' and we all attacked her and ended up laughing out real hard. That was some sort of 'healing' /consoling some of us needed, cos that was the first burial ever attended in my life.
He was so loved which is why our parents 'allowed' us to go on a school day.
No comparison though, just my way of dealing....
Only 66......
Rest in Peace Sir:(
This is sad news. I can tolerate most of his movies because he is funny. Sad, sad, sad. May he RIP.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P......WISH U ETRENAL BLISS
ReplyDeleteeeeyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaa.......so touchn..RIP sam loco efe........:(

ReplyDeleteWhat a great lost to Nollywood, May your gentle soul Rest in Peace
ReplyDeleteRIP.
ReplyDeleteG....
If Heaven wasn't so far away
ReplyDeleteI'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpaw
And watch them laugh at the way he talked
Find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
Tell 'em we'd be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror, we'd all watch 'em wave
Yea, losin' them wouldn't be so hard to take
If Heaven wasn't so far away. r i p sir.
R.I.P sir. This is a call to all of us to get closer to God. Lord, please have mercy.
ReplyDeleteRIP

ReplyDeleteI tire for rumour another bc came in tonite now that veteran nollywood actor,sam loco efe,is alive,Our sources have revealed that though he suffered a heart attack on location earlier today he is gradually recuperating in a hospital at the Imo state capital Owerri, pass around the message don't allow the bad one to continue we all love sam loco efe... Let us all thank God 4 his life.... Wana knw the truth _____u"inda always check ur story before u write haba!!!
ReplyDeleteGuys some people say he is alive ooo. He suffered a heart attack but he is becoming better gradually. Lets chill out before accepting this kind of news.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this guy is gone!! He was a chain smoker and he drank a lot, so maybe that's caused the discoloration in his eyes. RIP MR EFE.
ReplyDeleteSam Loco died at a ripe age of 71 as sad as it is to see him go...its not alarming about his departure...so pls pple stop trying to brew concern in Nollywood...about pple dying...the artists that makes up Nollywood is enough to form a state on its own...so therefore...pple will always die...RIP sir
ReplyDeleteLINDA RECCONFIRM...he survived...was heart attach early ds morning but recuperatin at d hosp
ReplyDeleteJust heard it was announced on NTA news revealed that sam loco is still alife. Linda pls confirm....
ReplyDeletei also heard he's alive, that it was a heart attack and he survived it.
ReplyDeletelinda you don mad he was 66 three hours ago now he is 71 nice one sha
ReplyDeletehe is not dead
ReplyDeleteIts still unconfirmed though. Sahara reporters did report this news first at least on my timeline on twitter. There are talks that he didn't die just sustained a heart attack and slipped into coma. Reports sauntering in claims he is recuperating and um while its still not authentic its better we stay on the safe side and stop further RIP messages until it is confirmed further. It will be sad indeed if he does pass on now. The man lit up our big screens. Further update is awaited in this case!reporters did report this news first at least on my timeline on twitter.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it's really really really really true. Sam Loco is truly truly truly dead.
ReplyDeleteAlso, his official age might have been 66, but he was 71...from family members.
R.I.P Sam, your a legend and one of my favorite nollywood actors of all time. When i heard of your death i was hoping it was a misup but i guess it's true, i feel so sad. Naija make we dey show our legends love and respect they deserve while they are here, i will definitely miss your humor in movies

ReplyDeleteNow, i know not to believe anything people blog about. Yesterday, Sam Loco was dead and was 66 years old. Today, Sam Loco dies at the age of 71 and people will be reading other things you blog about, believing, judging and drawing unnecessary conclusions.
ReplyDeletePlease get your facts right...if u like dnt post it. This message na for u sef. As long as you don read am, thatsall....
