Nollywood actor Jamiu Azeez has recounted his last moment with late colleague, Allwell Ademola.
It is no longer news that the beloved Yoruba actress has passed away. The movie star had died on Saturday evening after suffering a heart attack.
Taking to his Instagram page to pay this final tribute, Jamiu shared a video of himself and Allwell while filming an advert for Ageshinkole 2. He noted how she was so full of life.
According to him, they laughed, played, and had a great deal of fun, and now she is gone. He noted that Allwell was friends with everyone and remembered telling her to celebrate 36 years next year, so they could at least rest from her usual 35 years.
“Hmmmmmm, ile aye asan, afowoba fi le. We were all together on this day, filming an advert for Ageshinkole 2. You were so full of life, ALLWELL. We shot many ads together; most of them have not even been posted. We laughed, we played, and we had so much fun, as always.
Now you are gone, it’s so sad to say goodbye.
You were friends with everyone. I remember telling you to please celebrate 36 years next year, so we could at least rest from your usual 35 years. You jokingly said, ‘Okay,, that you would do 36 years next year and celebrate the same 36 years for another 10 years.’ This is really sad walahiiii.
Till we meet to part no more”.
