Popular comedian, Ayo Makun, aka AY, has revealed how his late mothers last advice to him shaped his life.

The filmmaker made this known while appearing as a guest on the latest episode of the Nancy Isime Show.

He reflected on his last meeting with his late mother where she urged him to be responsible and take care of his younger siblings.

The comedian said he saw himself and his siblings, including renowned event planner Lanre Makun and celebrity fashion designer Yomi Casual Makun, through school after their parents passed away.

I came home to ask for money that I needed for school, and the money wasnt available. And then, we had lost my dad. So, she [my mum] was seeing me off, she was practically walking me on the street and encouraging me. She said, ˜You know Yomi is looking up to you, Lanre is looking up to you. Your younger ones are looking up to you. Dont go and do anything funny, dont be a part of any cult.

But the money dem never give me o wey I find come o but dem dey encourage me. ˜I know that its difficult, but then, just know that your younger ones are looking up to you. Dont go and do anything stupid. God will do it at the right time.

Do you know how touching it will be getting all that messages from your mum, and then you get a call while in school that youve lost your mum?

So, all of that moulded me like, okay, this is going to make me live a certain way of life. That was what gave me the boost to work extra hard to see myself through school, see my younger ones through school.

It was her message. Her message was mor like, ˜Your younger ones are looking up to you. That message was what gave me the foundation of everything that makes me stand out today.(Sunday Vanguard)
