Ace comedian, AY Makun, in a recent Instagram post, bared his heart on his struggles in life; having to be a father figure to his siblings & helping tonurture them…
He revealed that he spent nine years at the Delta State University all because he had to struggle to take care of his immediate family after the death of his father & shortly after, his mother…He Said…In December 1999 when my dad passed, It was difficult to take over his position as the first son… It became even more difficult when my mum decided to join him in no time….Embracing the reponsibilities of taking care of my four sisters & two baby brothers wasn’t the best message to preach to a waiting landlord whose rent must be paid in due time….The combination of being a big brother & father came with a price that kept me in Delta State University for 9 years as a student….Apart from the non-negotiable Christian up bringing from my parents, my dad always drilled me, & made me tough….
He taught me how to be a strong independent young man….How to carry my siblings along as a leader of purpose…Though it wasn’t an easy journey for me or any of my younger ones, as we all struggled together.
But hope was like the sun, which casts the shadows of our burden behind us….
I never stopped dreaming that one day our story would change & take each & everyone of us towards the direction of success…Apart from thanking God for all He has done for me as successful comedian, this is just my way of also saying “I AM PROUD” of my baby brothers @lanremakun of Lanre Makun Events & @yomicasual (the Fashion Designer) for embracing & indulging the paths that is beginning to position them as individual brands in their respective endeavours…Above all, you guys must bear in mind that the only way to continue the journey to success, is to remain focused….
Humility is the true key to succeed in life. Eradicate every form of arrogance & self-indulging trap that will halt your blessings from God…See you at the top.
