Halimat Omidina, the daughter of the late Yoruba comic icon Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, has shared heart-wrenching details about her father's last days as she commemorated what would have been his 68th birthday on August 22, 2026.

In an emotional post on social media platform X, Halimat recounted a chilling prediction made by her father just two days before his passing. She revealed that Baba Suwe had told her he was going to die, a statement she initially dismissed as a joke. "Someone asked if Daddy ever told me he was going to die. Yes, he did. Two days before, he told me, but I laughed it off. I thought he was joking," she shared.

The model and content creator described the stark contrast of this year's birthday celebration compared to previous ones, emphasizing the void left by her father's absence. "Happy posthumous birthday, Daddy. Today feels so different, no crowd, no jollof rice, no you in your new shirt," she expressed, highlighting the deep sense of loss felt by the family.

Halimat recounted the urgency of the situation that followed her father's prediction. After receiving a call about his deteriorating health, she rushed home only to find that Baba Suwe had lost his ability to speak. "He couldn't talk anymore, and an hour later, he passed," she recalled, reflecting on the painful moments leading up to his death.

The emotional tribute was not only a remembrance of her father's life but also an expression of regret for the time they had together. Halimat conveyed her sorrow at not having embraced him more tightly during their last conversation, wishing she had made more lasting memories with him. "I wish I made more memories with you and hugged you tighter when you told me you'd die. May Allah have mercy on you and grant you Jannatul Firdaus," she wrote.

Baba Suwe, who passed away on November 22, 2021, at the age of 63, was a beloved figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry, known for his unique style of comedy and contributions to Yoruba cinema. His legacy continues to resonate with fans and family alike, as they remember the joy he brought to many through his performances. Halimat's heartfelt tribute serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between a father and daughter, even in the face of loss.
