Afobaje appeared to be a happy person who just wanted to live and enjoy life. I looked forward to his Yoruba vlogs. The announcement of his death is a rude awakening to how fickle life can be. I pray God protect all that he left behind and console his family and friends.

I always promised myself to beat poverty b’cos his personality, charisma, and lifestyle resonated with mine.
Haven’t felt this sad for someone’s death. Just enjoy life while it lasts. Nothing we bring, nothing we go carry go.
