Popular Calabar movie director and script writer, Ansa Bassey Kpokpogri, is dead.

The mum-of-one reportedly passed away after complaining of pains from peptic ulcer.

Film-maker, Uduak Isong Oguamanam, younger sister of Emem Isong, took to her Facebook page on November 15, 2016, to announce her passing.

Writing a tribute alongside her photo that read, "Grief. It makes you remember things. Minute details, like the sound of their feet, the colour of their hair and the sweet smell of their body spray. It makes you regret. The holidays you never took, the movies you never watched together, the visits you kept planning to but never made. It reminds you of your own mortality. You wonder if there’s a row call and what your number is on the list.

Death doesn’t warn you. One moment you’re laughing with a loved one, your head thrown back, with wanton abandon, the next your eyes are bloodshot from weeping for a loss so deep no one can understand. I’ll never understand, never come to terms with your death. You were many things to me; Friend. Sister. Business partner. Supporter. Colleague. My life was better because you were in it. Sleep well my beautiful, adorable, amazing Ansa. Till we meet again to part no more."
