Nollywood actor and filmmaker Muyiwa Ademola has opened up about why he was unable to attend the burial of his cousin, late actress Allwell Ademola, which was held in Lagos.
Taking to social media, Muyiwa explained that he was out of the country at the time of her burial and could not return early enough to be present. He described her passing as deeply painful and a stark reminder of how fragile and uncertain life can be.
The actor reflected on mortality, noting that every passing day draws people closer to the end of life, even as birthdays are celebrated. He also offered prayers for long life while mourning his cousin’s death.
In his emotional tribute, Muyiwa asked Allwell to extend his greetings to departed members of their family, including his father, Awofe Ademola, and Uncle Adetokunbo Ademola.
“It’s a final Goodbye Couz. The saddest part is my not being in the country to witness your final journey back home. Your death is just another painful reminder that tomorrow is never promised! Each day we live is deducted from the days we would live on earth, each birthday we celebrate takes us closer to our final birthday! May we live long, amen. Sun re o Omo Oba EniObanke Ademola, bami ki baba mi Awofe Ademola, ki Uncle Adetokunbo Ademola… o digba o! O di gbere!”
