Nollywood actor and comedian Ayodeji Richard Makun, professionally known as AY Comedian, had unburned his heart on social media.
Ayo Makun took to his verified Instagram handle to pour out his heart to his followers about the misconstruction of his personality.
The father of two shared photos of himself and his eldest daughter online with a lengthy note about how grace enabled him to navigate obstacles with courage and determination.
Makun spoke about challenges that are inevitable in one’s life, such as personal struggles, societal expectations, and judgements.
The famous comedian stated that people who trolled him only saw and made assumptions from the surface view, and he had learnt to grow through these experiences.
“In the journey of life, grace is a quiet yet powerful force that propels us forward, even in the face of adversity. It is the invisible hand guiding us through turbulent waters, allowing us to rise above challenges that often seem insurmountable. As I reflect on my experiences, I recognize that grace has been the cornerstone of my resilience, enabling me to navigate obstacles with courage and determination.
Challenges are an inevitable part of life. They come in various forms—personal struggles, societal expectations, and the weight of judgment from others. Too often, people form opinions about us without truly knowing our stories. They see only the surface, making assumptions based on incomplete narratives. Yet, it is through these experiences that I have learned the importance of self-acceptance. Understanding my worth, independent of external validation, has been a liberating journey. While others may see my struggles as weaknesses, I choose to view them as stepping stones that have fortified my character and shaped my identity.
With grace as my guide, I embrace each day as a new opportunity to rise, to grow, and to inspire others along the way. In this beautiful dance of life, I am reminded that grace, love, and perseverance will always light my path forward.
THE WAITER IS STILL IN CINEMAS NATIONWIDE. HAPPY SUNDAY, FAM.”
Ayo Makun’s statement followed netizens reactions to his absence at his wife, Mabel Makun’s mother’s burial.
