Jasmine Okafor, the adopted daughter of late Nollywood actor, John Okafor better known as Mr Ibu has taken to social media to mourn him.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, she noted how the good deeds she did for him were translated to evil and were paid in hundred folds with evil. According to her, the hatred was from the same people who weren’t there for him during his trying times.
Expressing how heartbroken she is, she stated that he always promised her that the day he would speak, the world will listen, unfortunately, that day is never going to see the light following his death. She revealed that amidst all the allegations against her, Mr Ibu never talked down on her and had appreciated her till his last moment.
Jasmine stated that the pains he endured in the last few days, he did it with a smile. However, she wouldn’t mourn his death but the pains he had to endure as he had undergone 15 successful surgeries.
“Goodnight papa! You will forever be remembered for the love you gave, and the laughter you brought am grateful to God that I was able to give back that love till the very end.
Despite all that was said, every single good I did was translated to €vil, you always promised me that the day you would speak, the world would listen and that gave me the audacity to carry on. Now I am brok€n because that day is never coming, maybe the stories will never end, maybe the bull¥ing will never stop but I know and I’m grateful for the ray of hope you gave me even when you felt hopeless.
Every single good I did was paid In hundreds folds with €vil , from the hands of the same people who were never really there for you when you needed them the most but Daddy you know what matters the most amidst all these accusations? You never talked down on me, you appreciated me till your very last moment.
The pains you endured in the last days, you did with a smile, I am not mourning your d€ath, I’m mourning all the pains you had to endure, over 15 successful surgeries, you are indeed a fighter! You fought d€ath severally until its claws successfully overpowered you.
I hope you find true happiness, peace, and rest in the bosom of God! Make sure God laughs at all your jokes and Angels roll on the floor from every conversation with you…
I lost a hero, Heaven gained an Angel.
Adieu Papa!!!”.
It is no longer news that the veteran, who had been battling an ailment for months now, gave up the ghost on Saturday, March 2nd. Since the news of his death, celebrities, fans, and lovers of the veteran have been paying tribute to him.
Actress, Doris Ogala had drummed support for Jasmine. Expressing how broken she was, she stated that if Jasmine was still with Mr Ibu, he wouldn’t have died. Sending a message to Jasmine, she assured her that she would be fine as she noted how Jasmine tried but the family pushed him away.
Early this year, Jasmine and Mr Ibu’s son were rearrested by the police and were awaiting court charges. However, Jasmine shut down the reports by sharing a video of her and actor, Deyemi Okanlawon.
Two weeks later, the Nigerian police confirmed that it had re-arrested her son, Daniel Onyeabuchi for allegedly defrauding the actor of the sum of N55 million.
The investigation unearthed text messages via WhatsApp between Jasmine and Daniel detailing how they conspired and hatched their criminal plans. It was also exposed that the two had a sham marriage at the Ikoyi Magistrate Registry with plans to escape from the country to the UK where they intended to settle with their proceeds of crime.
Taking to her YouTube page a week back, Jasmine shed light on the incident as she narrated how she met the actor, who was a friend to her late father and had acted as a father figure to her following his demise.
