Omoruyi Efe, the son of
deceased veteran actor, Sam Loco has relieved some fond memories he had of his
father, stating that no one dared his father to stop smoking.
Omoruyi said his father,
Sam Loco was planning his retirement by building a farm in Abakaliki before
death took him away.
He told Vanguard:
“Nobody could tell him to stop smoking because he was a very strict person. You
couldn’t tell him something like that, so we didn’t see it as our business.
However, we really miss him in the house because he had a very good sense of
humour but he was a very busy person.
“We all expected him to
retire so that we would have enough time to spend with him. He was also
planning towards his retirement by building a farm in Abakaliki but death took
him away suddenly,” he said.
The late actor’s son
further disclosed that he admired his father especially as an actor, and Sam
Loco hoped he would follow in his footsteps.
“I admired my daddy as
an actor. All through my primary school days, I was into acting. He wanted me
to go into acting after my WAEC before I got admission into the university and
I was enrolled into the acting academy for a while before I gained admission
into the university. I am very sure if I go into acting full time now, my dad
would be very proud of me but I don’t think I would go back to acting anytime
soon,” the late veteran’s son said.
In 2011, the Nigerian
entertainment was thrown into mourning after the death of popular comic actor,
Sam Loco Efe was announced. The veteran actor died of cardiac arrest.
Aside from being one of
the funniest actors of his generation, Sam Loco was known to be a heavy smoker.
