Tribute to a Beloved Brother: Shina Sanyaolu
“Goodnight, my dear brother.
“Shina Sanyaolu was not just a remarkable man; he was a beacon of kindness and warmth to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
“His love for the arts and his unwavering support for our industry were unmatched. Shina was always there for us, offering a helping hand and opening doors where there seemed to be none. For those of us who traveled to the UK in the 80s, he made it feel like home, welcoming us with open arms, giving us a place to stay, and even taking time off from his busy life to drive us around.
“Shina, your generosity knew no bounds, and your spirit touched countless lives. You were truly a rare gem. The world feels emptier without you, but we take solace in knowing that your legacy lives on in the hearts you’ve touched.
“As you journey to eternal rest, greet your dear friend Babatunde Omidina, also known as Baba Suwe, and all those who have gone before you. Your impact will never be forgotten, and your memory will forever be cherished.
“Rest in peace, my brother. You will be deeply missed.”
