This is a hilarious photo of Sam Loco taken on the set of a comic movie. The picture has been trending on social media with his fans dropping lovely comments concerning his achievements during his lifetime.
Nollywood Actor Sam Loco Efe, Born December 25, 1939 into the family of Arase at Ogboka, in Benin Kingdom, Baby Sam could not envisage what the future had in stock for him as very little attention was paid to his education. But he was determined to sort out life from every sphere of human endeavour.
The Civil war brought young Sam back from the East to Benin City in 1968, where he resided with Pa Aghedo. As the wind of the war began to settle down in 1969, he joined the then ECN, now PHCN as a footballer. Sam mesmerized his opponents on the pitch of play at his pace that earned him the name Locomotiv, which he later adapted as Loco.
He was certainly not a man who had interest in long names as even Efeimwonkiekie was abbreviated to Efe, which gave many, the impression that he was of Delta origin.
The veteran actor who became famous for movies like 'Final World Cup', 'Long John and 'Ukwa' died on August 7, 2011.
