NOBODY MAKES A LOVELY CORPSE…MO ABUDU LOSES MOTHER IN LAW...BURIES HER GRANDLY
Few people get to transit from being utterly indispensable to “eternally unforgettable.” A real mother does. And if she is some father-in-law to treasure, he may be succeeded but he can never be replaced. This truth amongst so many others manifested in the manner in which Mo Abudu buried her late mother in-law.
Nobody ever makes a lovely corpse but when she was alive, she characterised the essence of loveliness and more. They might have been separated for close to a decade. However, Alhaja Raolat Adenike Abudu, the late wife of legal luminary and astute businessman, Chief Olatunde Abudu, was the only mother-in-law known to media entrepreneur and owner of Ebony TV, Mo Abudu. Alhaja Raolat was the mother of Tokunbo Abudu, also a lawyer and businessman, whose marriage to Mo broke down irretrievably about a decade ago. She was aged 85. The final burial ceremony was held in Abeokuta, Ogun State. In spite of her very busy schedule considering her new vocation as a filmmaker, the enterprising and wealthy Mo ensured that she played her wifely role well, regardless of her separation from Tokunbo. Alongside her daughter, one of the products of the union, Temidayo, Mo was up and doing, attending to guests and ensuring they enjoyed the celebration of the life of the departed Abudu matriarch. Notable among the guests are close friends of Mo like Ruth Osime, Vivien Chiology-Shittu, Debbie Oghene, Pat Faniran, Ayana Trimmel, Ndidi Ayanye, Grace Osime and many others. Tokunbo’s friends were equally well represented.
