Popular Nollywood director and editor Dimeji Ajibola is dead.
Ajibola is said to have died in the early hours of November 3, 2024, after a battle with an undisclosed illness.
Confirming the news, actor Bolanle Ninalowo, in a captioned photo on Instagram, wrote: “I love you, brother, and I miss you, Dimeji Ajibola. May God heal your family and loved ones. Till we meet again, didi dox, rest on the champ.”
The deceased was the director of a 2023 Nigerian crime thriller series, ‘Shanty Town,’ and also the brain behind ‘Hoodrush,’ a 2012 urban musical film that won multiple awards, including Best Movie at the 2012 Green Me Film Festival in Germany, among others.
In another news, May Edochie, the first wife of actor Yul Edochie, has revealed her reasons for rejecting many generous offers from prominent filmmakers in Nollywood.
Speaking in a viral video on social media, May stated that she was able to say no despite the substantial pay because ‘she is a master of all trades’.
“I have received scripts, movie roles, and mouth watering offers for the past two years, but I rejected everything.
I’m a master of all trades, and there is a whole lot I can do if I put my mind to it.”
