Filmmaker Folorunsho Adeola honoured her late colleague Allwell Ademola during her 40th birthday celebration.
Folorunsho marked the milestone birthday with friends and colleagues, but took a moment at the event to remember Allwell, who died in December.
Guests were asked to observe a moment of silence in her honour, as seen in a video shared on social media.
In a post on her Instagram page, Adeola reflected on her relationship with the late actress and the impact she had on her life and career. She wrote:
“Dear ENIOBANKE, You matter deeply. Your kindness leaves a lasting impression on hearts, your words still echo, and your memories never fade. You love sincerely, you give genuinely, and you show up in ways many never do.
“You were there for me in my early career days, always pushing me forward. I show you love while you are here, and I never stop appreciating you. I let you know how much you mean to me, always.
“Though you are no longer here in the way I wish, you live on in our stories, in our prayers, and in the quiet moments when we remember you and smile through the tears. Rest well, my big baby.”
Allwell Ademola died on December 27 after a sudden health crisis. She was 49 years old.
