    Yes it is a very sad news! Does anyone knows what happened to him, was he sick or?
    Just a minor comment/question. Whoever broke the news, did not proof read what he/she wrote."He is 66 yrs" damn! this man died yesterday, (past tense). I belive these people wanted to write, "He was 66yrs" and he died yesterday in his hotel. I read few of the breaking news online, this afternoon and all I could read "he is dead in is hotel room yesterday. He is born in delta" e.t.c. Why do some people woefully write? It is appalling!

    Its a very sad news 4 me. Even thou i appreciate all the Nigerian actors/actress for their good works, Sam Loco Efe was my role model. I love this man so much because he always does the best at whatever role he is given to play, as a metter of fact when is on screen its like watcing someone doing something in real life, it does not look like acting at all. Sam, i will miss u deeply because it has been my desire to travel to Nigeria someday just to see you. May your soul rest in perfect peace.
