Tragedy! Nollywood Producer Ansa Bassey Kpokpogri Is Dead!

Top Nollywood Producer, Director, Film Maker and Calabar-born mother of one, Ansa Bassey Kpokpogri, has died at the age of 36.

Ansa reportedly died from peptic ulcer and her death was confirmed by renowned female film maker Emem Isong's younger sister and film maker, Uduak Isong Oguamanam, who took to her Facebook to write a glowing tribute to the University of Calabar graduate, whom she described as a friend, partner and colleague:

"Grief. It makes you remember things. Minute details, like the sound of their feet, the colour of their hair and the sweet smell of their body spray. It makes you regret. The holidays you never took, the movies you never watched together, the visits you kept planning to but never made.It reminds you. Of your own mortality. You wonder if there's a row call and what your number is on the list. 

Death doesn't warn you. One moment you're laughing with a loved one, your head thrown back, with wanton abandon, the next your eyes are bloodshot from weeping for a loss so deep no one can understand. 

I'll never understand, never come to terms with your death. You were many things to me; Friend. Sister. Business partner. Supporter. Colleague. My life was better because you were in it. Sleep well my beautiful ,adorable ,amazing Ansa. Till we meet again to part no more"‎
