Veteran Nollywood Actor, Victor Decker, 72,  is dead.

The news of his death was confirmed by the Mayor of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Abuja, Jesse Nazareth on Tuesday.

She said that Decker’s neighbours had to break down the door to his apartment to found his  decomposed body seated in his sitting room.

Nazareth said Decker’s corpse has since been deposited at a mortuary and his family members contacted.

“Yes, Victor Decker is dead. I was in the mortuary today where he is embalmed.

I am not aware of the cause of his death.

“I just got a call that his neighbours did not see him for days so they got concerned. They went to his house, knocked on his door but got no response, so they had to break down the door.

“That was when they saw him sitting on his couch lifeless. He was already smelling as he was decomposing. I rushed down there to arrange the necessary things,’’ she said.

Until his death, Victor was a veteran Nollywood star, who featured in a lot of movies like: If I am President’ and ‘Lotanna.’

He was a member of the Abuja branch of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).(NAN)

Keivo has become the second Big Brother Naija housemate to be disqualified from Season 11.

This follows his physical altercation with fellow housemate, Tram.

The fight broke out after Tram accused Keivo of taking one of his shirts.

Keivo did not take the allegation of theft lightly, and the situation eventually became violent.

It took the intervention of other housemates to calm both men down.

On Tuesday, Biggie sent ninjas to escort Keivo out of the house through the storeroom.

Biggie eventually gathered the remaining contestants and confirmed Keivo’s disqualification.

Nomy was the first housemate to be disqualified due to repeated defiance and refusal to wear an assigned punishment outfit.

Veteran actor and public speaker, Richard Mofe-Damijo, has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, describing the country as a work in progress, on its 66th Independence Anniversary on Oct. 1.

Mofe-Damijo said this while speaking on Nigeria’s journey at 66 at the Pivot Nigeria conference in Lagos.

He said although Nigeria had shortcomings, its relatively young age as a nation meant citizens should remain patient while continuing to contribute to its development.

“A bright one. We are a country, we’re a work in progress, and we must continue just doing the work,” he said.

According to him, building a civilisation takes time, adding that Nigeria at 66 remained young compared with many countries regarded as leading nations today.

He, however, stressed that the country’s age should not be an excuse for its shortcomings.

Mofe-Damijo urged Nigerians to remain committed to building the country and contributing positively to its growth.

He said every Nigerian was an ambassador of the country, noting that individual conduct could influence Nigeria’s reputation locally and internationally.

The actor urged citizens to demonstrate discipline, professionalism, punctuality and integrity in their daily activities.

He said Nigerians should view representing the country as a responsibility rather than a burden.

Mofe-Damijo added that Nigeria’s reputation would be strengthened when citizens consistently demonstrated excellence and maintained positive values wherever they found themselves. (NAN)
