Actor Mike Odiachi passes on At The Hospital

The whole Nollywood , members from TAMPPAN and group of performer on-screen character Mike Odiachi, have been tossed in mourning as the capable on-screen character kicked the bucket the previous evening, Monday, February 15, 2016.
We gathered that Odiachi passed on at the General Hospital in Ikorodu.
The late Mike Odiachi was clearly one of the best in delivering his roles, which majors as King or elders in council.
In the act of the theater, he was honest to goodness, genuine, engaged, disciplined,respectful and respected. He was earnest to the calling, and consistent with himself.
He'll be most likely missed by all artists and screen performers that is got a chance to work with the late incredible on-screen character.

Even the stupid greedy neocons in Washington can see that this is a gambit to get the US to do the fighting for these incompetent, corrupt cowards. The US government may be incompetent, corrupt and cowardly, but the people in military intelligence must be feeding the generals some very bad news: The Russians hold all the cards and they keep playing them exceptionally well.'

The US, according to al-Hassan, is upholding instability in the Middle East by simultaneously helping the Kurds, the Turks and the Saudis. Washington first launched this campaign in Tunisia and is now focused on Syria, he added, apparently referring to the so-called Arab Spring uprisings.
