For actress and broadcaster, Biola Bayo, it is still very difficult not to agonise over the death of her colleague, Allwell Ademola.
Five months after the latter passed on, Bayo is still bidding her goodbye but with painful words.
In a recent Instagram post, she notes:
“My heart is still broken, the vacuum is still unfilled, love is still uncertain but through it all, God is forever faithful and I know he loves so much. I miss your smile
I miss your jokes…nobody made me laugh the way you did. I miss our gists. I miss your hugs. I miss our prayers.
“Your memories is all I have left and I promise to cherish it forever. Life has not been easy without you all but I know God is with me, he will never leave nor forsake me. Continue to rest well and say hello to my mom and dad, please tell them I miss them both.”
The sudden passing of beloved Nollywood actress, producer, and director Allwell Ademola on December 27, 2025, threw the Nigerian film industry into deep mourning.
According to official statements from her family, including her cousin Adegboyega Adebayo, Allwell Ademola suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at her residence in Lagos. A neighbor quickly rushed her to Ancilla Catholic Hospital in Agege, but she was unfortunately pronounced dead on arrival after medical personnel were unable to detect a pulse.
While initial news reports carried slight discrepancies regarding her age (some reporting 43), the official family statement confirmed she passed away at the age of 49
