LATE SUPER STAR, AISHA ABIMBOLA
The event started with a solemn candle light procession, which lasted for an hour, in loving memory of our screen diva. The procession terminated at LTV where the night of tributes commenced.
It was a sober gathering and celebration of life as Nollywood Stars, comrades, friends, clerics, family members and the media gathered to pay glowing tributes to our screen diva, who passed on Wednesday 16th May, 2018 and interred the next day.
The President of the Golden Movie Ambassador, Amb Saidi Balogun, said “I still find it hard to call other peoples' names without calling your name Aishat…” Promising that her dreams will not die.
The Philanthropist, Mr. Tope Agbeyo asserted “Aishat till we meet to part no more"
Aisha was a triplet, the brother in tears screamed “I lost my better half, I don’t believe it is real but God knows best.”
The President of Women Arise, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin said “Our path crossed 6 years ago during the sensitization on GBV, Ebola Awareness and other humanitarian causes."
Seven days after her painful exit, we remember Aisha for her principle and commitment in the upliftment of the less privileged.
I remembered with nostalgia the old times, her smile, love, kindness, and encouragements. I cannot forget in a hurry her dedication and discipline to causes she believed in. The cold hand of death has snatched away this dependable ally.
She was a humanist par excellence, with an uncommon compassion for the poor couple with the milk of kindness that flows in her vains.
I know you are in a better place and resting. The saying that 'life is not measured in duration but in donations' holds true in Aisha's case. Though, you lived a short life by human standard but you've truly lived a fulfilled life because you existed for others.
Her ideals remain indelible in our heart.”
