The death of the great man has stirred a lot of emotions in the hearts of Nigerians especially at such a time like this.

Upon the realisation that Eddie was really gone for good, many Nigerians began to mourn him and react to his death in emotional ways. Comments flowed in on Twitter just as on other social media platforms.

Apart from the Nigerian populace, government agents and authorities could not help but also react to Eddie's death.

Steve Ayorinde, the honourable commissioner for tourism, arts and culture in Lagos state, mourned the veteran filmmaker in a very touching way.
