In a development that has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment industry, a social media post from Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Allwell Ademola, has gone viral following the report of her sudden death on Saturday.
Barely 24 hours before she was reported dead, the 43-year-old actress shared a video on her Instagram page where she was seen singing a soulful prayer, with lyrics that focused on surviving the year.
“In the name of Jesus, I will see the end of this year; this year will not see my end,” the lyrics read.
The video, which initially appeared to be an end-of-year post, has since become a digital memorial, with fans and colleagues flooding the comment section to express shock and grief over her death.
Some fans and colleagues, including actress, Kemi Apesin, pleaded that she should pick up her calls or reply to their messages to debunk the news of her death.
Others focused on her last post, expressing grief over the irony that she passed away just four days before the start of 2026.

#Iamii_royale wrote, “To think the last song on her last post was ‘I will see the end of this year.”
“It’s barely 24 hours since her last post. My God! What is this life!” Missbehwarjy wrote.
#toyin_moni commented, “I don’t want to believe this oooo …. I commented on your post yesterday evening before going to bed, so it’s not true….. You can’t die. Ha! No, now. How?”
PUNCH Online reports that Ademola was said to have suffered a heart attack at her residence before she was taken to the hospital.
Several colleagues in the entertainment industry, including actresses Fathia Balogun, Mide Martins, and Bidemi Kosoko, have taken to social media to mourn and pay their tributes to the late actress.
