Nollywood actor and filmmaker Muyiwa Ademola has penned an emotional and deeply reflective tribute to his late cousin and colleague, Allwell Ademola, following her sudden death.
Entertainment Reporter earlier confirmed that Allwell Ademola passed away on Saturday night after reportedly suffering a heart attack at her residence, a development that has plunged the Yoruba film industry into mourning.
Reacting to the heartbreaking news, Muyiwa Ademola took to his Instagram page, describing it as one of the saddest moments of his life. In a post filled with grief, humility, and soul-searching, the actor admitted he was at a loss for words.
Beyond mourning his cousin, Muyiwa used the moment to reflect on life, forgiveness, and the fragility of human existence. He publicly asked for forgiveness from anyone he may have wronged and announced that he had also chosen to forgive those who had hurt him.
“Goodnight, Couz.
Good night, ALLWELL. It is one of the saddest news I ever received!
I do not know what to write. But please and please, if I have wronged you in any way, do forgive me. Remember, a day like this is certain for you and me! Think about that and forgive me. I’m letting go of all grudges in my heart too. My heart is heavy, and I want it so light. If you have wronged me in any way, I have forgiven you as well. Let’s keep being peaceful in this empty world! Sun re o, Allwell Ademola.”
The tribute has since drawn emotional reactions from fans and colleagues, many describing it as a powerful reminder of life’s uncertainty and the importance of reconciliation.
Allwell Ademola’s death adds to the growing list of losses recorded in the Nigerian film industry this year. In recent months, Nollywood has mourned several of its own, including veteran actor Chief Kanran, actor Odunayo Olufemi (Oloto), actress Omotola Odunsi, producer Kayode Peters, and actress Berry White.
As tributes continue to pour in, colleagues and fans alike remember Allwell Ademola for her talent, warmth, and contributions to Yoruba cinema.
