How Mum’s Last Words Shaped My Life – Comedian AY

Nigerian ace comedian cum filmmaker, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has revealed how the last words of his mother before her demise shaped his life.

AY while featuring as a guest on the show of Nigerian media personality cum actress, Nancy Isime, recalled the last encounter with his mother when he came home from school to request money.

According to the talented comedian, his mother advised him to be responsible and take care of his younger siblings, and the next time he heard from home was the news of his mother’s death.

He said, “I came home to ask for money that I needed for school, and the money wasn’t available. And then, we had lost my dad. So, she [my mum] was seeing me off, she was practically walking me on the street and encouraging me. She said, ‘You know Yomi is looking up to you, Lanre is looking up to you. Your younger ones are looking up to you. Don’t go and do anything funny, don’t be a part of any cult.
