On his posthumous birthday on May 8th, Rita noted how she could no longer celebrate his birthday with him physically. She stated that her heart once more felt shattered as she threw some questions at him, revealing she takes solace in knowing that he is watching over them.

In other news, Rita had spoken out on the series of deaths in Nollywood, telling those peddling false rumours about Nollywood to stop slandering the industry. She stressed that death is everywhere, as humans are mortals.
