Veteran author/actor, Adebayo Faleti, died
on July 22nd at a hospital in Ibadan after a
brief illness. His wife, Abosede, did an
interview with The Nation where she
reminisced on the time she spent with her
husband. According to her, they were so
close that she wore his pants and
underwear in their home.
“We were so close to the extent that I wore
his pants and underwear. Up until his death,
if you come to our house very early in the
morning, maybe around 6am, I wear his
clothes all around the house before getting
dressed or set for the day’s activities. Baba
was always willing to give me his Buba to
wear. We were so close. We were very close
during his lifetime. From the time my
parents sent me out after I took in (got
pregnant) for him, he accepted me and my
child and promised me that no hurt will
come to me. He fulfilled his promises. Since
we got married, I don’t eat alone, I will only
eat when he gets back from work. He does
the same thing by not eating out until he
gets home because he knew I wouldn’t eat
until he gets back from work.”she said
