” They said I look like them, some people said I look like them, some people called me Shola, I’m not Shola, I am his elder brother, maybe it’s the resemblance.” Mr Sherif said he was part of the family and bears a striking resemblance with Shola, a son of the late veteran. He also pleaded that all the family needs now is understanding amongst themselves, so they can sustain their father’s legacy.
“It’s not easy but the reality is that we are carrying the same blood and I know that blood is thicker than water, and no matter how much we fight, it will still come back that we are blood.” Speaking about his acceptance into the family, Mr Sherif said it might be difficult for his siblings to fully accept him, since they didn’t grow up together. We need to use love to make everything right. I urge uncles and aunties in the family to support and avoid situations where it will be in the pages of the media that this is how the family he left behind is.
Mr Sheriff, who described himself as Baba Suwe’s first born, added: ” I have a lot of burdens but I cannot do it alone.
Sherif’s mother, Muibat Adenike, also opened up on her relationship with the late actor at the occasion. ” My mother used to tell him to take his comedy away, not knowing that she knew what was involved, but I didn’t know, I just loved him.” More revelations I only knew him as a comedian and I love his movies and always wanted to watch his comedies and no other. I knew him since I was small, I was attending victory grammar school then when I used to watch his comedy. ” I only watched him on TV, but never knew he’s my father. He said while in school, he only knew Baba Suwe as a comedian, little did he know that the man whose comedy he enjoyed watching was his father. Mr Sherif, who identified himself as a medical doctor, said he has travelled to China, Korea and UK but is based in Ghana with his family.Įxpressing his pain, Mr Sherif said he never knew that the man he watched on television was his father. “My siblings might see it as a shock, for 40 years they have never known me, and me coming now will look strange to them, ‘where did this one come from?”. Speaking to journalists during his father’s burial in Ikorodu, Lagos, the young man, Akanni Sherif Omidina, said :”My story is peculiar because my father is there and my mother knows him and I am busy looking for my father, going to places “. One of the high points of Babatunde Omidina aka Baba Suwe’s burial on Thursday was the emergence of a young man who claimed to be his son and first child.
