This Mother’s Day was bittersweet for Rotimi Salami, who chose to honor the memory of his late friend, Allwell Ademola, instead of celebrating in the usual way
As her final major project, the film Kilanko, hits cinemas, he reflected on the fact that she isn’t here to see the praise her work deserves.
In a heartfelt post, Salami shared his emotions:
“HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, SHUGA BOO.
SHUGA BOO, I DID IT… KILANKO IS CURRENTLY SHOWING IN ALL CINEMAS ON ‘MOTHER’S DAY’ as YOU WISHED.
IT ONLY HURTS THE MOST TODAY REFLECTING YOU ARE NOT HERE TO RECEIVE YOUR FLOWERS FOR DIRECTING SUCH AN IMPACTFUL AND BALANCED THOUGHT-PROVOKING FILM TO CELEBRATE MOTHERS.
TRULY, IN LIFE. KI LAN KO GANGAN
WHAT ARE WE CELEBRATING?
LIFE OR DEATH?
I REALLY WANT EVERYONE TO SEE THIS FILM
ONE OF YOUR LAST BIGGEST.
KILANKO SHOWING IN ALL CINEMAS NEAR YOU.”
He described Kilanko as a moving tribute to mothers and one of Allwell’s most important works.
Through his post, Salami not only honors his friend’s legacy but also invites everyone to experience the film she poured her heart into.
