“You came, you saw, and you conquered” – Toyin Tomato writes touching tribute to Kola Oyewo following his death
Nollywood actress Toyin Adebola, better known as Toyin Tomato, has written a tribute to her late colleague, Kola Oyewo.
It was reported hours ago that the veteran has passed away at 80. His junior colleague, Kunle Afod, announced his death, noting how Nollywood has lost a true legend. He said that Oyewo’s remarkable talent, timeless performances, and immense contributions to the Nigerian theatre and film industry will never be forgotten, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
Taking to her Instagram page to mourn, Toyin noted how he came, saw and conquered. She noted how death is inevitable, and one isn’t permitted to question God.
She described the deceased as a great dancer, lecturer, uncle, father, and grandfather. Toyin expressed how blessed she was to have been present at his 80th birthday.
Bidding him farewell, she said he would be greatly missed.
“ERIN WO!!!
Uncle K, as you are fondly called! You came, you saw, and you conquered. Death is inevitable, and we are not permitted to question God. You have gone to be with your Creator, and I am certain you are seated by His right hand: a great dancer, a lecturer, an uncle, a father, and a grandfather. How blessed I am to have been present to celebrate with you at your 80th birthday on the 18th of April 2026; that memory will linger forever.
The Balogun of Oba-Ile has gone! Labaluyeke has gone! Baba Adewale lo, baba Adeyemi lo, baba Adetoyese lo, baba Adegoke lo, baba Oluwatobiloba lo.
You will be greatly missed, my dear brother. Goodnight”.
A month ago, Afod had received praises from his colleagues over his show of love to veterans, Chief Kola Oyewo and Peter Fatomilola. The Yoruba actor visited the veterans’ house, where he paid his respects.
While speaking with Kunle Afod, Oyewo revealed that he couldn’t play sole roles again because of his illness, which had caused a major setback for him in the industry. Chief Oyewo revealed that the illness started with frequent urination, which led to lack of sleep, and after several tests, it was discovered that he had an enlarged prostate.
In other news, Toyin Tomato won the praise of many for her show of love to veteran Mama Mistura Asunmo, otherwise known as Iya 2d. The Yoruba star, alongside some of her colleagues like Toyin Adewale, Bose Akinola, and others, had built a new house for Iya 2d.
That wasn’t the first time Toyin had gone all out for Mama Mistura Asunmo.
When the veteran turned 80 years old in 2022, Toyin, who is her goddaughter had organized a birthday party for her. The city of Ibadan was on shutdown as the likes of Faithia Williams, Fausat Balogun, Toyosi Adesanya, Akin Boss, Rose Odika, and more supported the celebrant.
Nollywood actress Rita Dominic is celebrating her 51st birthday today, July 12th.

Nigerian gospel singer, Toluwanisings and his crew members have been involved in a ghastly car accident.
The accident, which involved the band’s bus and a full loaded trailer occurred on Saturday morning when the band was returning from a gospel ministration.

Describing God as the only sure plug when it comes to protection, he wrote “And we survived what would have claimed our lives. My Israel will not die in the hands of pharaoh LAYELAYE. When the enemy came like a flood, the spirit of the lord raised a standard against them!

Alavin retracts viral allegation against Wizkid associate Godson, urges public to disregard video
Emmanuel Jakpa, popularly known as Alavin, has retracted a viral video linked to the controversy involving businessman and social media influencer, Uyi Godson Agho, popularly known as Godson, urging members of the public to disregard its contents.
Alavin’s statement comes days after Godson an associate of afrobeat star, Wizkid denied allegations that he defrauded social media influencer, Clement Akpobome Ogudu, popularly known as IsokoBoy (ISB), of N100 million, insisting that the matter was a business disagreement that had been misrepresented as fraud.
In a video statement released on Sunday, Alavin said the earlier recording he made on June 28, 2026, involving Godson did not reflect the true situation.
“The content of the video is not true. I hereby make this video as a rejoinder and urge the general public to disregard the earlier video being posted online by one Mr. Richie,” he said.
Alavin further clarified that the continued circulation of the earlier video by Richie was driven by a previous disagreement between Richie and Godson.
“Whatever Richie is posting and saying is out of jealousy and the issue he had previously with Godson,” he stated.
He also maintained that his rejoinder was made voluntarily, restating his continued friendship with Godson.
“I am not making this video under duress. We are all friends,” he added.
The development follows Godson’s petition to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, through his lawyer, C. C. Ezenwa, Esq., in which he denied defrauding IsokoBoy and described the dispute as arising from a clothing business allegedly valued at about N320 million.
He also alleged that IsokoBoy, Alavin, and others confronted him at his residence, recorded him while he was unclothed, and later circulated the footage online with claims that he had defrauded his business partner.
