Murphy I graced many of your productions as you did mine. we became friends because time proved to me that you were a staunch admirer of my craft since I joined the industry. Always on time to support me, post my works, birthdays, celebrate with me and every positive news there is about me.
Your words during my health challenge keeps echoing in my ears when you passed that I couldn’t stop crying, you will call and tell me “Omo baba mi, ko si iku loju e” that you got some people on board praying specially for me, I could feel the fear in your voice then while you tried to encourage me.
The handsome, fashionista, self confidence, intentional, story teller, Actor, producer & director of all times Murphy Afolabi that I know will never want to die untimely! so sad you bid the world goodbye too soon🥲
As a colleague, you were the first to ever call me excitedly back then to inform me that I have been nominated for an award in Canada, you made sure I submitted with everyone going on that trip, it is how you always try to carry me along in anything happening in the association for me.
Although, we have our differences in some areas, that we couldn’t agree, you were a sweet soul who always find ways to mend problems that could cause distance or malice between us💔
I am forever saddened that I will never get to see you in this life again, maybe in another life hopefully.
Till we meet to path no more Olawale, keep resting in your lords bossom💔 #iMissU😇”
