Alimat Omidina, a daughter of late veteran Yoruba actor, Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, has recounted the emotional final conversation she had with her father before his death.

The model and content creator shared the memory on her X handle, @superstarrlimaa, on Saturday as she marked her father’s posthumous birthday.

Baba Suwe would have turned 68 on August 22.

“Happy posthumous birthday, Daddy. Today feels so different, no crowd, no jollof rice, no you in your new shirt,” she wrote.

Alimat said she wished she had created more memories with him.

“I wish I made more memories with you and hugged you tighter when you told me you’d die. May Allah have mercy on you and grant you Jannatul Firdaus,” she added.

In another post, she revealed that Baba Suwe told her about his impending death two days before he passed, but she dismissed it.

“This could’ve been my mood today. Someone asked if Daddy ever told me he was going to die. Yes, he did. Two days before, he told me, but I laughed it off. I thought he was joking,” she wrote.

She said she was later called home after his condition deteriorated.

“The next day, I got a call to come home. He couldn’t talk anymore, and an hour later, he passed,” she stated.

Baba Suwe died on November 22, 2021, at 63.

He was celebrated for his comic roles in Yoruba films such as Iru Esin, Baba Londoner, Oju Oloju and Baba Jaiye Jaiye.

Alimat is the daughter of Baba Suwe and late actress Omoladun Omidina, also known as Moladun, who died in 2009.

Her tribute drew emotional reactions online, with many sympathising with her over the loss of both parents. (The Nation)
