Mrs Yetunde Oyesola is the first child of popular Nollywood actress, Folake Aremu, better known as Orisabunmi, who passed away on January 6, 2021 at 60. In this interview with WALE OYEWALE, Oyesola speaks on the life, times and values of her late mother
Tell us about your mother and the circumstances that led to her death?
My mother’s death was a great agony to me because she was so special to me. I never had reasons to regret coming to the world through her. She was a great mother. You would not see her get angry. All her life, she was always praying. If you were around her and you had a problem she would rise to your aid. She would give you soothing advice and lend a helping hand where she could. I never saw her get angry or get mad at people. Her usual ways were to pray and give advice to people. What happened to us was a great loss because nobody would be able to fill the void. She was a rare gem.
