Nollywood actress Dakore Akande has shared photos from her father’s burial.
Newsunplug reported on February 6th that her younger brother, Timini, had shared photos from his low-key burial ceremony, which was attended only by family. He revealed that they said their final goodbyes as he bade his father farewell.
Now, sharing photos on her Instagram page, Dakore said she is still coming to terms with the cruel fact that she won’t see her dad for a while.
Dakore said she is, however, comforted by the fact that they will meet eventually at God’s appointed time. She added that she and her siblings wore white and blue to honour him, as they were his favourite colours.
She also revealed that she made a playlist of some of his favourite songs, which they danced to at the reception in his honour.
“When we laid Dad to rest…..
It’s been a difficult task to post these photos, os but here we are.
I’m still coming to terms with the cruel fact that I won’t see my Dad for a while.
But I’m comforted by the fact that we will all meet eventually at God’s appointed time.
We wore white and blue to honor Dad, as that was his signature, I sang the opening and his favorite hymn, we had 2 services on the same day- one in Austin, TX where he lived for many years and in Lagos, Nigeria, where he made his name and lived for many years also.
I made a playlist of some of his favorite songs which we danced to at the reception in his honor.
I’m so glad that so many people came to support our family and I thank you all my lovely dakorians, or all your prayers and heartfelt lovex”.
