KING OF MUSANGA: FOUR YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH,ACTOR OBI MADUBOGWU'S WIDOW REMEMBER'S HER HUSBAND.{PHOTOS}.#EXCLUSIVE.

''It's four years gone, just like a candle in the wind blown away. Obi Udoka Madubogwu popularly known as the King of Musanga was called to rest at the age of 47 years on the 28th day of August 2017 and buried on the 10th day of November 2017.


Obi lived a life that was full of creativity as a seasoned Film Producer, Director, Actor and Humanitarian. We still remember how intelligent, out spoken, humorous and witty he was. He faced life with courage despite his health challenge and was the Founder of Saving Life for Africa Diabetes Foundation (SLAD), a Foundation set up to give back to the less privileged suffering from Diabetes through enlightenment programs and donations.


Obi featured in so many notable Nollywood motion pictures acting in major roles remarkably The battle of Musanga, Karisika, Conspiracy, Igodo, Sugar Boy, Agumba, Mass destruction, To live again, living in tears, my Heart desire , in the deep and many award winning films both locally and internationally.

Obi was a Man of Justice, truth, peace, morals and fair play. He put in Twenty-seven years as a motion picture  Practitioner and Eight years of Humanitarian charity work with SLAD Foundation. Obi created a legacy with stories he produced, directed and acted in which would not be forgotten in a hurry.

We have been through so much grief and broken on every side after his demise. The tears may be forgotten but the hurt stays in the heart. We feel pained for the words left unsaid and deeds left undone. 

We hope by God's grace in the nearest future to produce a movie or movies to keep his legacy and give back to humanity through SLAD to the down trodden battling with Diabetes. The Children miss you. Continue to RIP our Love.

We are indeed grateful to everyone who stood by us during the trying times through prayers, words of encouragement, visits and financial support. God bless you all.''
