“Despite the complexity of our family, you are immensely loved and missed beyond comprehension.
“I love you forever and till infinity and beyond. Dakorians. Pls say a word of prayer for my Dad and our family at this very difficult time as we grieve this devastating loss”.
The actress’s brother, Timini Egbuson, announced their father’s passing, promising to continue making him proud.
In June 2025, popular Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson revealed that is not a serial cheat or a womaniser, contrary to widespread assumptions.
He explained that his age, work, and demanding schedule do not permit indulgence.
The 38-year-old revealed that he has been single for the past two to three years. He disclosed it in a recent episode of The Culture League podcast, which also featured Super Eagles star Victor Boniface and comedian Bovi.
Timini Egbuson said,“A lot of people assume that I’m a womaniser. But I’m not. In the past two, three years, Nollywood has taken over my life in a way that there’s no room, except you will be the most unserious [to womanise].
“I even wonder how some of my friends who womanise, date four or five girls simultaneously, have time to attend to all of them. Because from being on set all day to getting back tired at 11 pm, I will now start chatting a lady? I don’t have the capacity for that. So, I’m not in the street as people may think I am.”
