Renowned Yoruba film actress, Lola Idije, opened up about her emotional experiences when encountering her late son’s friends.
During an interview on the official YouTube channel of Talk2dunnis TV, she revealed that she lost her only son unexpectedly. She shared that every time she sees his friends, she becomes overwhelmed with grief and breaks down in tears. Additionally, she spoke about some of the most challenging moments of her life.
In her statement, she said, “I lost my only son to a sudden death, and I always cry whenever I see his friends. I thank God that I also have female children, but the boy was my only son. Some of my daughters have gotten married, and they are now giving birth to male children. God is very wonderful, and I appreciate everything he has done so far in my life because life comes with good and bad moments.”
My dream when I was younger was to become a businesswoman. I loved doing business so much that if someone had prophesied to me that I would become an actress, I would have dismissed it as false because I never really considered it a career path for myself. Most of the time, when my elder brother, AdeLove, was shooting on set, I would go to the location just to eat free food, chat with the other actors, and then return home. However, I don’t know what my elder brother saw in me that made him insist I would become an actress. Despite arguing with him, his decision was always final because he was respected by everyone in the family, including our mother.”
he said, “Those who are coming to toast me are making a big mistake because they only want to benefit from what I have. Some men come to toast me because I’m popular, but I can’t date a man anymore. My only priority at the moment is my children, and I want to see them giving birth to grandchildren that will call me their grandmother.”
