Going by the information reaching us, the burial of late film maker Sam Loco Efe will indeed be an epoch making event.

According to top actors in Nollywood, powerful men in government are struggling to make the funeral a story that will be written in history.

As gathered, two states governors are right now struggling to sponsor and cater for all expenses that will be made during the burial. Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime and Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole are demanding opportunity from Nollywood to allow them sponsor the burial to their taste.

While Governor Chime is said to be claiming that Sam Loco lived almost all his life in Enugu State and that the state's government should be given that privilege to organize the memorial service of the late legend, Governor Oshiomole is said to be claiming Sam Loco in its totality, insisting that he hailed from Edo Kingdom and should be given a befitting burial like a dedicated son of the soil.

It was revealed that Sam Loco brought fame and popularity to stage acting in the state, and the government of that same state will be honored to bury him.
