Nigerian filmmaker and actress Omoni Oboli pays tribute to her late father, Chief Matthew Ukey, who passed away two years ago.
Chief Ukey had died following a road accident along the Oghara/Mosogar bridge in Ethiope-West LGA, Delta State on the 5th of May 2017. He was a retired permanent secretary and a member of the Delta State Civil Service Commission.
In remembrance of the sad event, Oboli took Instagram to recall some of the events that proceeded the death of her father including the dismissal of a copyright infringement case brought against her for movie Okafor’s law.
“It’s been 2 years dad! (crying emoji).
“I almost called you a few days ago to tell you we won the case! To tell you your daughter has finally been vindicated.
“I remember you calling every day to pray, telling me your priest and members of the parish were praying for us. I remember your excitement when the injunction was lifted and we could show OKAFOR’S LAW. How you took me round in pride when I went for my cinema tour in Asaba with Blossom.
“MY BIGGEST FAN! I hope you see this. My big sis who came to see me today and held me when I was crying in my office, away from cast and crew said I should write you so I’m doing just that. She said you will see it. I hope so.
I miss you. I know how proud you were of me. Still working hard to make you proud. I will always be a daddy’s girl.
