AFRIMA President Mike Dada Pens Emotional Tribute To Late Wife Modupe On Posthumous 50th Birthday
The President and Executive Producer of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), Mr. Mike Dada, has penned a deeply moving tribute to his late wife, Modupe, as she would have marked her 50th birthday.
In a statement released on Friday, Dada revealed that the occasion was Modupe’s second posthumous birthday, noting that two years ago they had discussed how she wished to celebrate the milestone.
“When I had the conversation with you exactly 2 years ago on how you would like to celebrate your 50th birthday… little did I know that it would be your second posthumous birthday. God knows best,” he wrote.
Describing his late wife as “light in its purest form—steady, warm, and life-giving,” Dada praised her “quiet but unshakable compassion,” “genuine love that never asked for recognition,” and her humility despite having “everything.”
“You were a loving, loyal and dependable wife, peaceful partner, selfless mother and destiny accelerator… humble and respectful to a fault,” he said.
The AFRIMA boss noted that despite advice from therapists, pastors, coaches, friends and family, “time has not learned how to move on without you.” He added that her presence remains in “every memory that refuses to fade” and that her light “continues to shine in ways words cannot fully capture.”
“There are days the weight of missing you feels unbearably overwhelming… And then there are days I find strength in knowing that love like ours does not end—it only changes form,” Dada stated.
He said he and his daughters, Serere and Olorire, would join heaven in celebrating her: “not just for the years you lived, but for the impact and love you left behind.”
“Happy 50th birthday, my love. You are missed deeply beyond words, endlessly cherished beyond measure, and loved beyond time,” he concluded.
Modupe Dada was remembered by many as a woman of grace, kindness, and unconditional affection.
