Joy Ejiro, wife of late Nollywood filmmaker, Chico Ejiro has penned a heart-rending message to her husband who died on Christmas day after concluding directing a movie.
Joy Ejiro in the message on Instagram said they had a lot of plans for Christmas while describing his death as a rude shock.
She said they planned on having thanksgiving to celebrate how good God has been to them, she said.
“This is a rude shock!!!!!!!! we had a lot of plans for Christmas, we spoke a lot about how the day will go, we were recounting how GOD has been good to us this year and how grateful we are to be alive, I never knew it was going to be my last midnight gist with you. You died in my hands Chico, you left me so confused and devastated.
In all, I thank GOD for giving me the opportunity to spend the last 26yrs with you, you were a selfless man who was a wonderful husband and a great father. I’m consoled by the beautiful life you lived and the impact you made in the movie industry and all that crossed your path. You will forever be in our hearts. Till we meet again my Baby Boy, I will have plenty gist for you my best friend,” she said.
This comes after actress and socialite, Cossy Ojiako said the late Ejiro left her to face her scandal alone without coming to her rescue.
Cossy alleged that Ejiro’s wife slapped her on the set of the movie that landed her into infamy.
The actress wrote: “Mr Chico Ejiro…. I remember years back. You use to like me…… I don’t say no to people. I only give conditions …..what changed? What made you keep quiet and watch the world tear me to shreds…. during that mighty scandal you kept quite….. I kept wondering why….I left the industry in shame still trying to figure out where I got it wrong….. your silence killed me. I was mocked. And still mocked. just a simple yes that sex with dog story is part of a Nollywood movie and not porn… would have preserved my sweet nature. Ohhh I remember your wife slapped me on that sex with dog set…. back then my teeth never sharp. Rest In Peace dear. Your part of my history and also My birthday mate.”
