I’m proud to be from Ekiti, Niniola says on dad’s 25th death anniversary

Singer and songwriter, Niniola, has in her usual tradition poured eulogies on her father, Simeon Apata, to mark his 25th death anniversary.

The 33-year-old said in an emotional post on Instagram on Wednesday that she was ‘forever proud’ to be from Ekiti State because of her father, adding that she wished he were alive to see her flourishing.

“On this day years ago, you were taken away from us but instead of being sad I choose to celebrate your life. And to let you know that the seed you planted on this earth has germinated. I wish you were here Daddy to see your baby…I MISS U DADDY SIMEON OLAOSEBIKAN APATA!!! I’m forever proud to be from EKITI STATE because of you. Omooluwoleja Your Favourite Daughter,” she said.

Apata was killed on January 8, 1995. His school, Apata Memorial Schools, in Isolo, Lagos is being managed by his three widows.

Nini is the older sister of Teni da Entertainer.
