Veteran Nigerian actor Ernest Obi was in tears over the weekend as his late mum was laid to rest in Nigeria’s Anambra State.

Princess Eugenia “Baby” Uzoamaka Nwachinemere Egwuh (nee Orizu), was buried in a solemn ceremony which left the actor unable to hold back his tears.

Obi said goodbye to the woman who gave him life with a short post on social media.

“Farewell as she embarks on her sojourn to the after life, where pure hearted mortals become saints,” he wrote.
