Nigerian actor and comedian Williams Uchemba has lost his mother.

On Facebook and Instagram, the actor shared a lengthy farewell message to his mum while recalling their last moments. 

He stated that his mother’s passing has strengthened his Christian life and reaffirmed his belief in life after earth. 

The actor, who shared photos of the deceased, partly wrote, “Few minutes before you passed, you came to me in my room. You were in the room, but your environment was of a different place, a place that like I have never seen before, and you just and was smiling at me. 

“ Your transition strengthened my Christian life, your transition strengthened my faith again to remind me of life after earth. Your transition forever stamped into my heart that there is heaven and hell, and I am glad you made it to where we are all fighting to get to.

Since sharing the news on social media platforms, his colleague Nancy Isime and his fans have consoled him. 

Uchemba hails from Umueze Village in Obazu Mbieri, a city in Mbaitolu Local Government in Imo State, Nigeria. He is famous for his childhood roles in Nollywood movies and his comedy skits on social media.
