20 years is a big number - Damilola Gbenga Adeboye speaks on father’s remembrance ceremony
Legendary comedian Gbenga Adeboye’s daughter, Damilola, also spoke on how plans started to celebrate her father’s 20th year remembrance. According to her, they had initially not made any plans and the idea all started with comedian Owen Gee.
She explained that when he discovered that their dad’s demise took place 20 years ago, he encouraged them to celebrate his legacy in a big way because it was a milestone number.
She said:
“The 20 years that we’re planning now, honestly, we didn’t even plan to, it was Mr Owen Gee, we had an interview with me and my brother and that was the day we were like ‘oh daddy is going to be 20 years this year and he was like we needed to do something. Even if we wanted to do something, how much is my salary? And my mum is a widow. And to start disturbing people, even if I wanted to do it, the funds were not there. Mr Owen Gee was like if we put it out there, people would support because 20 years is a good number. So we started planning it towards April 13, later we moved it to May 14.”
According to Damilola, some of her father’s old time friends bought the idea and showed their support for the cause and one of them even went as far as already booking a hall for the much anticipated event.
She said:
“One of my dad’s friends in the UK, my dad’s really good friend, Mr Omoluwa, he had even paid for a venue, but then he had a conversation with another of my dad’s friends, he’s a big comedian in the industry, I don’t want to mention his name, so he said that we shouldn’t rush it, that 20 years is a very big number and we should do it well because my dad deserves way more than what we are planning that we shouldn’t be reaching out to individuals because he will help us to plan it once he’s settled so we’re just waiting for him and I’m asking God to bless him for wanting to, he doesn’t know how happy he made me, my mum and my brothers.”
Damilola went ahead to thank people who had shown their support regarding her father’s 20th remembrance celebration.
In her words:
“Thank you very much sirs, that’s to Mr Ben, Slasha, Mr Alex Osho, the comedian I don’t want to mention, God bless them all, I am really grateful.”
