         Rita has expressed her feelings over the death of mrs Amaka igwe, the one among the greatest women of the nollywood industry who has imprinted much character in most of the known icons in the industry.        Mrs AMAKA Ene Igwe, MFR(1963-2014) - A Brief Elegy. Born 2nd January as one of the most important WOMEN in the creation & evolution of Nollywood. Starting out as a young Lecturer Assistant at the then Anambra State University, Amaka Isaac Ene dedicated her young adult life to the creation of CHECKMATE (a Soap-Opera that leveraged on the previous success of Lola Fani-Kayode's MIRROR in The SUN). Her star actors were the 1st Stars of Nollywood.


        Her one of the most popular movie titled RATTLESNAKE, that came out a few weeks after Living in Bondage, was the 1st artistic success of Nollywood's videography. With her FUJI House of Commotion, Amaka redefined the landscape of Situation Comedy on national TV. Married to ex-banker-turned-Film producer/marketer Charles Igwe in April 1993, she is indeed a nollywood icon..
      And together, Amaka & Charles Igwe struggled to evolve a seismic paradigm shrift in Entertainment Content provision in Nigeria, the latest being TOP FM Radio, Lagos. Toe-to-Toe with men she stood! In recognition, she was awarded national honours as Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR).

      Last night, Amaka was on set of her current movie! And Last Night, Amaka Died, still working on a Movie!  what a tragedy to the entire world and to the industry for loosing such a woman...
