A renowned comic actor, Olatayo Amokade also known as Ijebu and the
entire family of Amokade in Ilishan Remo, Ogun State have picked three
days in February 2020 for the burial of his father, Pa Kolawole
Amokade aka Ba Funbi, who died in November 19th 2019 aged 93.
It was gathered that, the three days event will start on 20th February
with Service of Songs at his house. The 21st is for his wake keep
while 22nd is for his final burial. The Aso-Ebi for the event is
currently selling for N7,000 and you can either get yours from Ijebu’s
wife or Kemi Korede.
According to him, “it is rather unfortunate that I lost my father at
this moment. No matter how old he maybe, nobody pray to lose his or
her relatives. My father died at age 93 in his sleep. He was at his
house in Aiyegbami Street, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State. He slept and he
did not wake up to say bye to us before he joined his ancestors. He
wasn’t sick; his death will be attributed to old age. His passing on
is really painful to me in particular because I am going to miss him
as a father, I will also miss his advice and the words of
encouragement from him. Thank God I still have my mother and I will do
everything within my power to take good care of her. The family had a
meeting and we have all agreed to bury him in February 2020”.
