Fans and colleagues of the famous Yoruba vlogger and entrepreneur Afobaje, who died on Saturday after collapsing at Ikeja Cement in Lagos while playing football, have mourned him on social media.
The cause of his death is unknown as of the time of this report.
Afobaje, whose real name was unknown, was known for his unique way of promoting Yoruba culture and took great pride in doing his voiceovers in Yoruba in his vlogs. The deceased also had a remarkable talent for turning everyday moments into engaging stories, a skill that made him famous online and earned the appreciation of his audience.
The sad news of his demise has sparked a wave of grief on social media, with Nigerians from all walks of life sharing their condolences and reflecting on his significant impact.
Nigerian blogger @naijashimadun_ shared their last conversation on Instagram on the eve of his death.
In the chat, Afobaje had sent the blogger some money and expressed his worry about the situation at home amid the protests against poor governance. These protests, which had been ongoing for several days, responded to the perceived lack of accountability and transparency in the government and the resulting economic hardships many Nigerians face.
He wrote, “This was my chat with him yesterday. He was so concerned about the people at home for two days due to the protest with no food to eat. Even though I told him we could postpone the giveaway, he said no and still sent money from the limited resources on hand. I’m happy he brought joy to many faces yesterday, not knowing he only had a few more hours on earth.”
