"It came as surprise to me. I did a movie, Airline Babes with him. He has a sense of humor and free spirit. May God give his family the heart to bear the lost." - Ruth Kadiri

The death of Dede One Day is as sad as it is a big shocking loss to Nollywood and his family. He brought joy and happiness to a lot of people but today we grieve over him. Dede has once again reminded us that we are nothing but dust and to dust we shall all return. - Emeka Amakeze
Vice President, Southeast

"My First movie as an actress in Nollywood (Blood On Fire 2011) was with him... I was so happy working with him because he is an easy going person. A very free spirited and funny person... He gave me words of encouragements... Second Job too, I played the character of his wife (Tom Bigger). I was on set when I heard he slumped! At first I didn't believe it.... I put a call through for confirmation (still hoping it was one of those Nolly gossips or some celebrity publicity stunt), unfortunately it was confirmed. It's true yeah... but I'm still in doubt. Noo.... not the Dede One Day I know." - Queen Wokoma

I never met him personally or did any project with him but from the much I have heard, he is a very lively lovable man. It's indeed another great loss for the world of Nollywood, Entertainment and Nigerians in general. RIP Dede One Day. - Daniel K Daniel (DKD)

Too sad. We really lost a talent. Though we never worked together.. he was a good friend. We all miss him. God bless his soul. - Ken Erics


He has gone, so we, but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man. Dede was a respected senior colleague and loved by everyone. His fun to be with on set and respects every actor. He will be missed by all but his memories will always remain....RIP big bro. - Walter Anga

Although we were not close, I can say he was a great actor and his death, quiet unfortunate, but God gives and takes. Death is a price we all must pay one day. May his soul rest in peace. And may God give the family the fortitude to bear this great loss, amen.- Benson Okonkwo


Just worked with him once. That once was like I have been friends with him for a long time. Uncle Dede you will be missed. It's unfortunate you left that way. God knows best. May your soul rest in perfect peace. - Ani Amatosero

I'm sending my heart felt condolence to his family, for their loss. I pray that Almighty God grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss; and his soul perpetual rest, amen. - Georgina Onuoha Igwegbe


I was shocked beyond words on hearing the heart breaking news. Although I haven't worked closely with him before, but he is my senior colleague in the industry. And I feel terrible that we have to mourn one of our own. My heart felt condolences goes out to his entire family. I pray the good Lord grant them the fortitude to bear the loss. Rest on Dede One Day, you will be greatly missed. May his soul RIP. - Lilian Esoro Franklin


"Dede One Day was a happy man. He loves to laugh and make people laugh too. I don't even know when he is serious. It pains me that I have not even worked with him but I do watch his movies. Started liking him since the days when Mr Ibu sang those songs. You could hear Dede One Day's voice from the background.

"Nollywood has lost yet another great act. Who are we to question God. If it's possible to bring him back with the number of smiles he has put on people's face... Trust me, he would have resurrected that same day. I pray God gives the family the fortitude to bear the loss. Rest in peace Dede. You will always be remembered. (Actor no dey die) #stepbystepnojumping. - Nosa Rex.
