    Premium Times lists Nigerian celebrities who died in 2025 as tributes resurface online

    2025-12-31 15:25:00

    Figures cited by Premium Times show a year-end list of Nigerian public figures—actors, influencers, and media veterans—who died in 2025, alongside brief context on careers and public reaction.

    The list includes tributes and references to how news of each passing was confirmed, often via posts from colleagues or family.

    • Guardian Life (Guardian.ng): “May his soul rest in peace… It’s a WRAP.”
    • Guardian Life (Guardian.ng): “Rest in peace, sis… Death why?”

    Echotitbits take: Year-end loss lists hit hard, but they also spotlight gaps in welfare, insurance culture, and health support in Nigeria’s entertainment economy. Watch for renewed calls for stronger guild-led assistance funds in 2026.

    Allwell Ademola’s last Instagram video goes viral as fans mourn Yoruba film star

    2025-12-31 15:18:00

    According to Punch, Yoruba film actress and filmmaker Allwell Ademola posted a video with a prayer-like message shortly before reports of her death, and the clip later went viral as fans flooded her comments with shock.

    The report notes the lyrics—shared as an end-of-year declaration—quickly became the emotional center of online mourning.

    • Punch Newspapers (Punchng.com): “this year will not see my end.”
    • Premium Times (Premiumtimesng.com): “died on 27 December 2025 at the age of 43.”

    Echotitbits take: Social media becomes both shrine and loudspeaker in moments like this. Watch next for the family’s preferred narrative (privacy vs public tributes) and whether colleagues push renewed health-awareness messaging across the industry.
