Adejumoke Aderounmu of Jenifa's Diary passes away at age 40.

Adejumoke Aderounmu, a Nollywood actress best known for playing "Esther" in Funke Akindele's hit television series Jenifa's Diary, has passed away.

Adeola Aderounmu, Aderounmu's brother, revealed Aderounmu's passing in a mysterious Instagram post that included her obituary photo and the words, "You are in a better place now, my sister."

Additionally, Oluwabanke Funmi, a friend of the departed relative, wrote on Twitter, "Rest in peace Aderounmu Adejumoke."

She added, "Waitted hours for her cousin to delete her post and say it was a joke or an error but..."

The actress, who was born on March 26, 1984, passed away at a private hospital on Saturday, April 6, 2024.

As at the time this article was filed, the cause of her death had not been disclosed.

But since then, Aderounmu Adejumoke's funeral has taken place in Owu Baptist Church in the Totoro neighborhood of Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Another obituary image that was making the rounds on social media purportedly came from the family and said, "We share the heartbreaking passing of our sister, daughter, and aunt, Aderounmu Adejumoke Oreoluwa, in the profound depths of grief and sorrow."

Aderounmu was born into a family of five in her birthplace of Abeokuta, where her acting career got its start. She entered the acting profession after graduating from college and quickly became well-known.

When she was chosen to play Esther in "Jenifa's Diary," in 2016, she landed her big break and won over both fans and critics. Adejumoke gained tremendous praise and a place in the hearts of viewers with her depiction of the feisty and tenacious Esther, which demonstrated her flexibility as an actress.

Aderounmu's versatility and commitment to her profession were showcased by the more than ten English and Yoruba films she appeared in during her career. In addition to being an actor, she was also a producer, an on-air personality, and a well-liked figure in the entertainment world.

She kept taking on difficult roles that allowed her talent to shine, and as a result, her influence on Nollywood was evident.

From her early days in "Dazzling Mirage" as Yejide to her iconic roles in "Industreet" and "Alakada 2," Adejumoke is known for her brilliance, passion, and unflinching dedication to her craft.

Comedian AY shares, "My 20-year marriage is slipping away from me."

 

Actor and comedian Ayo Makun, better known by his stage name AY, has responded to the gossip over his union with wife Mabel.

Rumors of their separation and infidelity have fuelled recent rumors of strife in their partnership.

AY appeared to acknowledge these claims in a lengthy Instagram post on Sunday, when he acknowledged doing things he wasn't proud of.

He claimed that because of his "deep personal family issues," he was at a point where he could no longer amuse the public.

He issued a warning against making assumptions, emphasizing that public displays do not characterize a person's strength or weakness.

Many people think that remaining silent merely indicates that one is unable to handle problems, according to AY. It is not indicative of weakness to cast a harsh light on someone who is not fighting for his own rights.

Some of us possess just enough logic to distinguish between facts, values, beliefs, and opinions.

"My personality and abilities merely reinforce that I've reached a point in my life when I can't be entertaining the public while dealing with extremely private family matters. It's possible that they are too much for the people involved to handle.

"Not even in the event that my adult daughter gains access to social media. It is important to safeguard her mental health from viewing things on the internet of which she cannot be proud.

Indeed! I have found myself doing certain things that I am not proud of today, without compromising my family. It is one thing to watch my 20-year relationship and marriage fall apart, but it is quite another for the people involved to know how to assign blame in an environment where most women are expected to constantly play the victim and come out on top. It goes without saying that no one is entirely innocent enough to throw stones.

I'm love how the lies in all these blogs about me are spreading quicker than the reality right now. However, my terrible truth will ultimately triumph above all falsehoods.

After getting hitched in November 2008, AY and Mabel are grateful to have two kids.
