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.
