Nollywood actor Adekola Tijani is in mourning as he faces the heartbreaking loss of his mother. The Yoruba movie star shared a solemn candlelight photo on his Instagram, expressing his anguish and questioning the timing of this painful event.
In his emotional post, Adekola wrote:
It shouldn’t be me.
It shouldn’t be now.
Why this Allah?”
While Adekola did not explicitly confirm the nature of his loss, heartfelt condolences in the comment section pointed to the passing of his mother.
Fellow Nollywood actors and fans have rallied around Adekola during this tough time:
-
Bukky Wright: “Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. May Almighty Allah forgive and grant her Al-Jannah al-Firdaus. Amen.”
-
Muyiwa Ademola: “It is well, dear brother. May her soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.”
-
Temitope Tijani (his wife): “We will forever miss you, Grandma. Sleep well. Go well.”
-
Adebayo Tijani: “Sorry, my brother. Olorun ato won sa fefe re.”
The actor’s grief mirrors recent losses in the Nollywood industry. Earlier this month, actress Nuella Njubigbo announced the death of her father, followed by Ini Edo, who shared a tribute to her late father, describing him as her “greatest cheerleader” and “first love.”
In January, comedian Woli Arole and actor Afeez Owo also faced similar losses, bidding farewell to their beloved fathers.
