Social Media Reactions To Rabilu Musa Ibro’s Death

The news broke this morning that: ‘arguably the most popular and most celebrated actor in the Hausa industry, Rabilu Musa Ibro has died.’ The news was so shocking that most people couldn’t believe it. How? What happened? Why so soon? Please tell me it’s not true! were some the things people started saying when they heard the news. They couldn’t bring themselves to imagine Kannywood industry without Dan Ibro.

Ibro was earlier reported to have been diagnosed of kidney disease and was taken to India for treatment. He ended months of struggle with the illness he died of in the early hours of Wednesday. His death brought to an end, the era of his trademark comedy on the Kannywood screen. A veteran actor, Ibro was one of the few actors whose acting and consistency pioneered the Kannywood industry we have today. He was hugely talented and so good at acting that he could spontaneously create a better joke than the one written on the script.

Ibro was naturally a jovial person. The comedian always carried his natural humour on and off the screen. That made him a very lovable icon within and outside the film industry. His death was certainly felt all over the country. The reactions on social media from the people within and outside the film industry expressed sadness and anguish:

Mr RANGO @itz_Froggy: A big loss to the Hausa Film fraternity indeed! May Allah forgive you and have mercy on your soul
Rabilu Musa dan Ibro.

Z @iBabyzee_: He has been giving us Joy ryt from day1 and he was the reason why most of us do watch Hausa Movies!!!*RIP Ibro.

Ummaruu @MobidEE: Ibro made all our families laughed. May Allah reward him with jannah for that.

Malcolm B @Mr_Kiyler: Ibro is a legend he can’t be replaced easily Actors.
