The Nollywood industry is grieving as popular actor and philanthropist, Williams Uchemba, mourns the tragic loss of his beloved mother. The 33-year-old actor took to his Instagram page on a somber Monday afternoon, August 28, to share the heartbreaking news with his fans, followers, and fellow colleagues.
In a poignant tribute that touched the hearts of many, Uchemba recounted a powerful and spiritual encounter he had just moments before his mother’s passing. He shared that he felt a profound connection with her, revealing that she appeared to him in his room in a state that seemed ethereal and different from this world. In the description of the place she seemed to be, Uchemba noted an unusual sense of beauty and joy, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Uchemba’s vivid recollection portrayed his mother’s appearance as youthful, reminiscent of her at 27 years old, with her hair gently cascading over her shoulders. Their interaction during this otherworldly encounter was captured in her response in Igbo, “Alaikiri’m ebe’m nò, ebe’m no mara nma,” which translates to “I like where I am, where I am is beautiful.” This response held a profound meaning as it coincided with the hospital’s confirmation of her passing just moments later.
The grieving son poured out his heart in a moving tribute, expressing the impact of his mother’s transition on his faith and his outlook on life. He revealed that her passing reaffirmed his Christian beliefs and reminded him of the existence of heaven and hell. Uchemba’s heartfelt words not only honored his mother’s life but also reinforced the spiritual connection they shared.
As he bids a temporary farewell to his dear mother, Williams Uchemba reassures her that this is not a permanent goodbye but rather a “see you later.” He draws solace from the knowledge that she has transitioned to a better place, an eternal glory in the presence of Jesus Christ.
