Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has definitely won the Mummy of the Year award from her daughter, Similoluwa.
Newsunplug reported last week that the Yoruba actress’s daughter had turned 17. To celebrate her new age, her famous mother threw a lavish birthday party on Sunday, September 7th, at the Oriëntal Hotel, Lagos. The likes of Biola Bayo, Ayo Olaiya were in attendance.
One of the event’s highlights was when Similoluwa gave her speech at her party. The 17-year-old who graduated earlier this year broke down in tears as she spoke about her mother.
She praised her mother for being the best and noted how Laide went the extra mile despite the economy to make her happy and give her her heart’s desire. She also praised her mother for being strong and appreciated her for her grand gesture.
“She is like the best person I have ever met. I have seen her do so much because of me. The money she even spent on me. I just came home and told her I wanted to have a big party, and she said she would do it, and the fact that she did it for me is actually so crãzy. From the photoshoot, she had 3 to 5 outfits for me, and they were so expensive, and the economy is getting worse and worse. Even though I am not affectionate, I want to tell her, ” Thank you, Mummy. There is no other mother like her. She is the strongest person I have seen in my entire life. I just want to say thank you”.
On Simi’s birthday, Laide had appreciated her daughter for being a good girl. She noted how her daughter is a better version of herself as she appreciated her for always supporting and learning from her without doubt.
A few weeks back, Laide had shared an adorable video of her daughter speaking her dialect, Yoruba, in a tush voice with veterans Ayo Mogaji and Femi Branch, on a movie set. The proud mother praised her daughter for nailing it with them.
Back in 2022, Laide expressed delight at her daughter’s acting debut. The proud mother shared a video of Simi on a movie set, as she expressed her joy at seeing her daughter star in a movie.
In other news, three years ago, all hell broke loose on social media when Laide claimed that her then 13-year-old daughter gifted her 9-year-old brother a Benz on his birthday.
The post stirred massive reactions, and Laide, in a follow-up post, proved that her daughter could afford such a luxury whip by revealing her daughter’s multi-millionaire business, Slimline Properties.
The mother of three revealed why she kept her daughter away from the public. She stated that her daughter is too hot, and she still has five more years to go before publicizing her handle.
While celebrating her daughter’s birthday in 2023, the controversial actress recounted her prayers to God on her 25th birthday. She revealed that she asked God to give her a daughter rather than a husband.
In another post, the special adviser to the Osun State Governor promised to reveal how her daughter played a pivotal role in her life. According to her, her daughter, Simi, had an important role in Laide’s becoming who she was today.
