Late Dejo Tunfulu’s Son Opens Up in Emotional Tribute: “I Wish I Had Listened to You”
The son of late veteran Yoruba actor, Dejo Tunfulu, has opened up about his painful regrets following the death of his father, revealing that he wishes he had listened to his advice while he was still alive.
Fatai Adetokunbo, a footballer and son of the late actor, shared the emotional message on his X (formerly Twitter) account, expressing deep remorse over some of the choices he made during his father’s lifetime.
According to Fatai, his father had wanted him to concentrate more on acting, but he chose to pursue a career in football instead.
Looking back, the young man admitted that he now regrets not listening to his father’s advice.
He revealed that he is currently not playing football and does not even have a roof over his head, a situation that has made him reflect deeply on his late father’s words and guidance.
Fatai said he wished he had listened to his father “100 percent,” suggesting that he now understands the wisdom behind the advice he once ignored.
In his emotional message, he apologised to his late father and asked him to forgive him, while praying that he continues to rest peacefully.
The revelation has sparked emotional reactions from fans and followers, with many sympathising with Fatai and encouraging him not to allow regret to overwhelm him.
The death of Dejo Tunfulu, a popular figure in the Yoruba movie industry, has continued to generate tributes from colleagues, friends, fans and members of his family.
Fatai’s heartfelt confession has once again highlighted the pain that can accompany the loss of a parent, especially when there are words left unsaid and decisions one wishes could be changed.
