To the woman who taught me what acting is,
A mentor, guardian, mother and more, @toyinbifarin_ogundeji
Whose humility and selflessness are second to none…. Infact, I’m short of words.
I remember the first time I entered her office 12 years ago, and I was seeing different awards, AMAA, AMVCA, orishirishi. I had to ask @odoaguntan_agbaletu “So Aunty Toyin has won all these??”
I’m still learning and will continue to learn from you mummy. And I’m so blessed to have you.
To know you is to love you.
Thank you for taking this project like yours. Thank you for helping me manage the tough time and pressure I had on set.
It felt like you shared your peace with me.
Thank you for Internationally making things less difficult and problematic for
me, to the point where you even started spending your money on my set.
She kept saying “Bukunmi its okay. Just focus on the work, I will take care of this, I can take care of myself.”
We couldn’t finish her work within our agreed dates, cos of rain, She waited extra day with no iota of anger on her face. Even when her phones kept ringing, cos of the other important places she was supposed to be.
Thank you for being patient even when it cost you alot. Thank you for giving me the privileged to work and learn from you again
Above all, thank you for creating time to do this with me.
She didn’t just perform as an excellent actor that she is, but also brought her magic, as her presence was felt in the costume department.
And in all of these, she refused to collect a penny from me. ????????????
I was on my kneels begging for account number, mummy kept saying “No”.
All she was doing was, praying for me.
I don’t even know what her account number looks like, cos she refused to give it, before, during and after work.
Mummy, I just want you to know that I won’t forget this. And I feel extremely blessed to know and to have you.
Once again, She brought her magic.
E PE FUN WA L’AGBARA OLORUN. ????
Lots of love from me to you. ❤️
Thank you mummy.
