Yomi Fabiyi paid a special tribute to Baba Suwe, recalling how the comic actor helped him break into the Nollywood industry 20 years ago.
Yomi Fabiyi is grateful to the disease for his generosity, for acting as a father figure in his life, and for fulfilling his dream.
He wrote: "You gave me the first step in this industry through this movie 20years ago. I don’t know how to start or how to approach you then but you discovered and encouraged me. And you prayed for me.
You qualify as my father, you are my father and you played your fatherly role. No human is perfect but if anything you did, you gave this dream of mine a reality. You lifted me and I appreciate all your kindness.
Pressy, you said you will wait for me to return. You are the best person that laughs at my jokes even when they are not funny. You love and appreciate me jealously.
Go and rest sir, The King of Comedy, Baba Suwe, Omi ose tanikoko, oni pari esin. My number 1 comedian, you are simply the best. Go and rest, you fought hard sir. I will be your fan forever.
Your son and boy,
Yomi Fabiyi"
