“You hardly can know she was Urhobo and not Yoruba. It was after many years that I later got to know that she was born Urhobo.'
Lovers of both Yoruba and diverse language movies in Ekiti have described the sudden death of a popular actress, Rachael Oniga, on Saturday at 64 years, as shocking and devastating.
She said the vacuum left by the late actress would be difficult to fill, considering her huge and steady contributions to the industry. Mr Oludayo said this was because she combined beauty with talent to thrill her viewers at any given opportunity. He wondered how Mrs Oniga, born of Urhobo parents, always found it easy and comfortable playing critical roles in movies, with good command of the Yoruba Language and idioms, adding that her type were not many in the industry.
