Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo is reeling from the loss of her fellow actor, Sisi Quadri, whose passing has sent shockwaves through the industry.
While not personally close to him, Iyabo took to her Instagram page to express her sorrow over his death. She admired his comedic talent and remembered his support for Toyin Abraham, revealing that she had even written a role for him in a movie. Sadly, she learned of his demise from Toyin Abraham just a day after planning to reach out to him.
Reflecting on life's brevity, Iyabo bid Sisi Quadri farewell and offered prayers for his grieving family. She also used the opportunity to call for the establishment of a health support account within the industry, suggesting that members contribute to aid colleagues in need of medical assistance.
"Though we weren’t close, but I loved your craft and you were indeed so funny and talented. I appreciated your support for @toyin_abraham, and I wrote “The Inlaws episodes 2 & 3, and I insisted a role be written in your name, and given to you to act... yesterday I told my production manager to get in touch with you today… been busy all day, and boom, I got the shocking sad news from Toyin… life is indeed so short.
RIP Sisi Quadir. May God grant your family the fortitude to bear their loss.
Can our leaders in the industry open a health support account for actors & crew members so that we can always put little tokens into it, that will come in handy when members need medical support, it can be used to support them.
The industry is large… we plenty, a collective effort will go a long way
just a suggestion…"
