In life, either an old or a young person, nobody prays to lose his/her relation, but it is rather unfortunate for a veteran Yoruba actress, Ayandotun Emmanuel, otherwise known asAyoka Omo Ologede, who usually plays the role of a witch in most Yoruba movies. The actress has lost 2 of her aged parents within 8 months.![]()
First, it was her father, Pa AyantokunEmmanuel Ayangbaro, who died on Valentine Day, February 14th, 2016, when he was almost set to clock 100 years. His death was attributed to old age and he was immediately buried at Ile Ashimolowo Compound, Baptist Church, Iwere-ile in Iwajowa Local Government, Oke Ogun, Oyo State.
As if that wasn’t enough, 8 months after, the actress also lost her mum, Mrs. Elizabeth Gbadejo Adebayo, to the cold hands of death during a brief illness. She died on October 11th 2016 at age 90 and she was buried in the same town.
However, Ayoka and the entire family ofAyantokun have picked Friday, May 16 date for the final burial ceremony of their parents. There are indications that the ceremony would be a classy and a-one-in-town superlative party.
The event will hold at First Baptist Primary Schoolplaying ground, Iwere Ile, where the actress had her basic education many years ago. Sefiu Alao, Omo Oko, is the musician of the day. TheAnkara (Aso Ebi) picked for the event is currently selling for #3,000.
