Actress Stella Damasus has made a promise to keep her late husband Jaiye Aboderin’s legacy alive after receiving a posthumous award on his behalf at the AMAN awards.

In an Instagram post, Damasus shared a video of herself and their daughters accepting the award, expressing gratitude for the recognition. She recalled her late husband fondly, saying she’s proud of their daughters and misses him dearly.

“21 years later, and we will continue to keep your legacy alive. I know you’d be so proud of how the girls have turned out. I give all glory to God because He genuinely gave us two amazing, beautiful, intelligent, and supportive girls. Jaiyejeje Aboderin, we love you forever, and we miss you so much. May his soul continue to rest in peace.

“Thank you to @amanawards for honouring him with this posthumous award”. Two years ago, Stella marked the 19th anniversary of Jaiye’s passing. She called him several sweet names, describing him as her heartbeat and the father of her children. She revealed that her heart stopped when she lost him, but he had to start beating again for the sake of their daughters.
