Babatunde Omidina, known as Baba Suwe, is a successful
comedian better known for his exploits in Yoruba home
videos. He is still arguably the most popular Yoruba
comedian of his time. But Baba Suwe hasn’t been having it
easy.
After the much publicised crisis with National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency,NDLEA, he lost his wife, Omoladun,
who was almost always his soul-mate, even in films. Baba
Suwe talked with Potpourri, opening up his heart on his late
wife and the prospect of finding another wife.
Obviously still in grief over the loss of his wife even as many
years have gone by, Adimeru, as he calls himself, would not
let go the memory of his dear Omoladun
“It has not been easy but life must go on. I believe whatever
happens has been pre-ordained. The death of Omoladun
was a great loss I cannot get over in this lifetime. She will
remain my best companion. She understood me than any
other person on planet earth. At times when we quarrelled in
the house, she would abuse me on set and that would mark
the end of the issue” he said with a heavy heart.
Though he admitted he would marry again but said it would
never be another actress
“Yes, I am getting married pretty soon. You can’t know her
for now. She is not an actress because I can’t marry an
actress again”
Why? Was there something he regretted about Omoladun
being an actress?
“No, I don’t mean anything of such. What I mean is that I
cannot get someone like Omoladun among the actresses
again. Her good acting skills is one of the reasons I loved
her but I have decided to check elsewhere for love” he
explained.
