She, however, admitted that they had their differences that they couldn’t agree on, but he was so sweet to her and always found ways to mend their problems.

“I remember you “Omo baba mi” like we fondly call ourselves because we share the same surname even though we are from different states and not related by blood.

Murphy, I graced many of your productions as you did mine. we became friends because time proved to me that you have been a staunch admirer of my craft since I joined the industry. Always on time to support me, post my works, and birthdays, celebrate with me and every positive news there is about me.

Your words during my health challenge kept echoing in my ears when you passed and I couldn’t stop crying, you would call and tell me “Omo baba mi, ko si iku loju e” that you got some people on board praying especially for me, I could feel the fear in your voice then while you tried to encourage me.

The handsome, fashionista, self-confident, intentional, storyteller, Actor, producer & director of all times Murphy Afolabi that I know will never want to die untimely! so sad you bid the world goodbye too soon🥲.

As a colleague, you were the first to ever call me excitedly back then to inform me that I had been nominated for an award in Canada, you made sure I submitted with everyone going on that trip, it is how you always try to carry me along in anything happening in the association for me.
