The associate publisher of Entertainment weekly magazine was knocked down this morning by a car while jogging near his home in the Okota area of Lagos. He was rushed to the hospital where he later died. He was just 58 years old.
Dimgba alongside his best best friend Mike Awoyinfa, pioneered the now rested Weekend Concord newspaper and The Sun Newspaper. He was also the Assistant General overseer of Evangel Pentecostal Church, Lagos. May his soul rest in peace...amen.

Oh my God!!! Why u sir?? U were a good man with conscience, u knew God wella, may ur soul rest in peace...
DEATH, BE NOT PROUD
You have taken away one of my sources of inspiration. What a sorrowful and sad day! Why is it that the good always die young?! Dimgba Igwe, I don't know you personally but your insightful and thought provoking publications endeared your personality to me. I always scramble and look out for article in any daily for immediate consumption. You were a patriotic Nigerian. A man of wisdom and peace. A Socrates of your generation and above all a God fearing man. Your death has indeed created a deep vacuum in the world of journalism. May God Almighty give your entire family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
May his soul rest in peace
Noooooooooooo! This is not fair @all, I have bn an ardent reader of his colunm. Such an intellect. Rest in the Lord'is bossom. My condolence to your family
RIP

He counselled me during the lowest point of my life, prayed for me and encouraged me that things would turn around for my good. Your family and church members would miss you. Rest in peace. I still can't belief he is gone.

Where is this driver assasin,who couldn't notice a man joggling ? I smell a rat!
RIP. Pedestrians in Nigeria have this awful habit of walking with their backs turned to oncoming traffic. my side mirror has grazed a couple of people in this situation because they ignored my horn. Not sure if this is what happened in this case, though.
I think so too
< so sad >
May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
