Veteran Nollywood actor, Yemi Solade, has shared his thoughts on the viral video of the final burial of late actor Segun Remi.

The moviemaker was laid to rest in an emotional ceremony recently, where family and friends wept as they bid him farewell.

Reacting in a post on his Instagram page, Solade, who had earlier criticised some of his female colleagues for flaunting luxuries, said he was also present at the ceremony.
