Rachael Okonkwo, an Igbo Nollywood actress better known as Nkoli Nwa Nsukka, has lamented the death of her mother, saying her life has been “shattered”.
The film star, 33, broke the tragic news via her Instagram page on Sunday, although she didn’t reveal the cause of her death.
“My world is shattered. My life is crumbled. RIP mama NKOLI. Where do I start from?,” Okonkwo captioned a picture of her mum, adding that her life wouldn’t remain the same thereafter.
The talented movie star, who hails from Ukpata in the Uzo Uwani LGA of Enugu state, started acting while she was a child but due to lack of movie roles momentarily switched careers for dancing.
Having joined Nollywood in 2007, she had begun with minor roles but would later play a supporting role to Ini Edo and Van Vicker in the movie ‘Royal War’ in 2008.
She also took a similar role in 2010 alongside Patience Ozokwor and John Okafor in ‘Open and Close’. Her breakthrough came in 2014 when she played the lead character as Nkoli in ‘Nkoli Nwa Nsukka’.
