The celebrated actress, who expressed her thoughts on her Instagram page, @ritaedochie, noted that celebrities, like everyone else, are human beings subject to the same natural processes and events. She believes that by better understanding and accepting the reality of death, we can cultivate a more empathetic and compassionate perspective on life.
On her verified Instagram page, Rita said, “Celebrities are humans as well; the same way other people in different walks of life die, that is the same way celebrities die too.”
“If teachers, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, women, and even pastors can die, then what is so different about the deaths of filmmakers?
“People, especially in Nigeria, often come up with questions like, What is happening in Nollywood? Why are actors dying? Something has gone wrong. ‘bla bla bla: What has gone wrong?
“Are actors not humans too? Please questions like this are annoying and ought to stop because death is only a displeasing call of nature."
