Aremu Afolayan pens an emotional tribute to appreciate his mother
Kemi Filani recalls that in March 2023, Aremu Afolayan penned a warming tribute to honour his mother’s sacrifice for him and his siblings.
In a lengthy emotional tribute, Aremu Afolayan detailed how his mother fought for their success and worked against all odds to see them satisfied despite lacking funds.
Aremu Afolayan also disclosed that his mother sold her outfit to put food on the table and ensure their well-being.
He wrote: MAAMI WE FIGHT ALL THE TIME BUT, I STILL REMEMBER BISKITI ONIYO (TUC) as you call it when you buy for me.
I still remember EWA OTILI AND EPO IKETE THAT YOU BRING FROM OYO FROM MAAMI AGBA BEFORE SHE DIED, I REMEMBER EGUSI WITHOUT MEAT OR FISH, BUT YOU MAKE IT WORTH IT BY MOLDING the SAME EGUSI LIKE MEAT AND STILL SHEAR ONE INTO 3 FOR ME AND MY BROTHERS.
I remember when you use to do OMOODOR YOU WILL SLEEP UNDER THE STAIRCASE AND COVER WITH YOUR IRO ASO. I remember when we used to live in ILE PAKO AYINDE STREETS, where termites have eaten all the plank.
You have to use my father’s film poster to cover all the plank walls like it’s a wallpaper maami 😂 brilliant, I remember how you will give Malam pashi paro your clothe, instead of collecting BASIA BIG BUCKET, you will take money to buy BEANS AT OYINGBO MARKET FOR US TO EAT.
Thank you so much. I wish I have money to build you a house right now but Rara ooo, I never get it, but I REMEMBER YOU TODAY.
