It was just a sunny day, in an open field like one made for a political campaign. And the atmosphere was warm as group from different places and organizations, music makers and masquerades of all kinds, clergies and community leaders, friends and colleagues were all set and in attendance to say final farewell to late Nollywood veteran actor, Peter Nnedu Eneh, otherwise known as Pete Eneh.
The small and smooth road which leads to his country home, in Amofia Ibuzor Amokwe Udi L.G.A of Enugu State, could attest to the presence of guests and colleagues of the late veteran actor, as all roads led to his place.
The superlative, but mourning event was fired –up by awe-inspiring performers who reeled out their best to keep the guests spellbound to the event. Ugochukwu Favour-Mayor, who was in Enugu, gives detail of it:
The burial as an AGN affair
If you call the gathering an Actor’s Guild of Nigeria affair, you are not misinterpreting, as the late actor held principal positions for the guild while alive. In his resume, he was the Executive Chairman of the guild from 2001-2008 with membership number of 001. Also, he was the National vice chairman, AGN South-east in 2009.
Pete Eneh as a true Christian
Indeed, late Eneh was a good Christian to the core. Not minding that one of his sons in a tribute described him as a Christian who abhorred idolatry and fetish practices of any kind, but fervently, it came to fruition as numerous clergy men of God all gathered in their numbers and attire to wish him final farewell.
How his colleagues eulogized him
His iconic contributions to the development of the motion picture industry in Nigeria will forever remain indelible in our hearts. He was a dedicated member of our Guild.
