- Goodnight sir, we part to meet again…
Popular entertainment editor Amadi Ogbonna has passed away. Multiple sources, including colleagues, told us the veteran journalist died on Wednesday, August 29, 2012.
Amadi, who was, until his death, the group entertainment editor at the Vanguard Newspapers, was said to have had an asthma attack in his car on his way home from work.
A reporter until the last minute, Amadi was passionate about general entertainment; he spent his entire career on the beat – gathering news, setting the agenda for the industry, mentoring young reporters, and making sure The Vanguard, where he worked for many years, gave prominence to entertainment, in a country where politics and business news are considered more important than entertainment content.
May his soul rest in peace.
