Baba Eda Onile Ola Don Land, Rumor Say Him Don Die Na Big Lie!

Lagos, Nigeria

Wetin be this wahala wey dey fly around? Some people don start to dey talk say veteran Yoruba actor, Olalere OsunPaimo, wey everybody sabi as Baba Eda Onile Ola, don kick bucket. But make I clear you: Na big lie! The Association of Nigeria Theatre Arts Practitioners (ANTP) don come out to clear this palava as dem confirm say the man dey alive well well.

Last Saturday, dem drop statement wey come from their National Public Relations Officer, Adejonwo Oluwafemi. E no just dey clear say Baba Eda dey alive; e come drop the mic with style! Dem talk say, “We would like to inform the public that reports circulating on Facebook about the passing of Chief Olalere OsunPaimo (MFR) are false.” Na so, dem knock that rumor for ground like say na small child wey dey find trouble.

According to ANTP, dem don check am well well with Baba Eda’s wife wey confirm say him dey fit and well (like say dem dey prepare am for another blockbuster movie). Dem come urge the public make dem no too quickly believe everything dem see for social media, especially as some unscrupulous individuals dey scatter gist to make am look real.

“Please disregard these false reports,” dem beg. “We urge everyone to verify information before sharing to avoid spreading misinformation.” Na true talk o! Sometimes, our fingers dey this quick to share wahala, but e good make we take am easy before we cast our good names for social media. (Online drama na real gobe, no be small.)

This Papa wey don dey entertain us since time, no suppose be victim of such wild rumors. Ebi like say we go need to draw our curtains and shine our eyes well well before we carry any palaver come for our side, abi? So as you dey sip your palm wine and gist with your padi, make sure say you dey spread better news, not fake ones. Na wetin matter pass!
