” O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?

” It is so sad we lost a priceless jewel, a very rare gem in the Nigerian film industry, Chief Mrs Folakemi Aremu aka Orishabunm  to the cold hands of death last night.

” Though good people die everyday yet not all of them affirm for us the goodness in humanity the way Orishabunmi did.

“She passed away leaving a legacy of positive experiences for anyone who took the time to know her.

” If Oratory is the masterful art, the world will surely miss Orishabunmi for her talent,” he said.
