John Okafor aka Mr Ibu recorded a video message from his deathbed thanking P Square’s Rudeboy for standing with him financially and emotionally during the entire time he was sick.
The video shows Ibu lying in the hospital bed as he spoke.
“Rudeboy, I don’t know where to begin. But everything happens exactly in God’s own time. When the time comes, it has come.
“Rudeboy, if you don’t make heaven, call me nama [meat]. You will go to heaven and we will sit in the presence of the angels and eat together.”
“What people will be talking about today would be, ‘How come? But Ibu and P-Square, they are not the same parents.’ But I tell you, parents don come,” he said.
