Jasmine, the adopted daughter of late Nollywood actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, has taken to social media to pay tribute to him.
Recall that the 62-year-old actor passed away on March 2 in a Lagos hospital after battling a prolonged illness.
During his illness, Jasmine and the actor’s wife had a falling out over the management of his finances and health.
In her tribute, Jasmine expressed disappointment that her efforts to support Okafor were misunderstood.
According to her, her good deeds for the deceased actor were interpreted as evil, instead of the good intention behind them.
She added that that she hoped that he would address the issue before his passing, but unfortunately, he is no more and nobody is left to vindicate her.
Sharing a tribute video via her Instagram page, she wrote,
“Goodnight papa! You will forever be remembered for the love you gave,and the laughter you brought am grateful to God that I was able to give back that love till the very end.
Despite all that was said, every single good I did was translated to €vil, you always promised me that the day you will speak , the world will listen and that gave me the audacity to carry on. Now I am brok€n because that day is never coming, maybe the stories will never end, maybe the bull¥ing will never stop but I know and I’m grateful for the ray of hope you gave me even when you felt hopeless.
Every single good I did was paid In hundred folds with €vil , from the hands of the same people that was never really there for you when you needed them the most but daddy you know what matters the most amidst all these accusations? You never talked down on me , you appreciated me till your very last moment.
The pains you endured in the last days , you did with a smile, I am not mourning your d€ath, I’m mourning all the pains you had to endure, over 15 successful surgeries, you are indeed a fighter! You fought d€ath severally until it claws successfully over powered you.
I hope you find true happiness, peace and rest in the bosom of God! Make sure God laughs at all your jokes and Angels roll on the floor from every conversation with you..
I lost a hero, Heaven gained an Angel.
Adieu Papa!!!”
