Two years after a fire destroyed his Lekki mansion, well-known Nigerian comedian and filmmaker Ayo Makun, often known as AY, has given a heartfelt message of gratitude. The performer released a montage of images of the burned-out property and the reconstructed house on his Instagram feed on Wednesday.
In the narration for the film, AY stated, “Two years ago today, everything went up in flames: my home, my peace, my comfort zone. And that was just the beginning. I have seen betrayal, lies, and storms that tried to silence everything I built.
“But I am still here, not because I am lucky, but because God is faithful and grave is louder than gossip, and purpose doesn’t burn in fire.
“They still plot, talk, but while they walk in darkness, I walk in light, every setback was a setup for something greater Thank You God for beauty after ashes.”
The remodeled home’s interior, which had marble flooring, opulent staircases, and a mix of contemporary and Afrocentric design, was captured in the video.
Recall that AY’s Lekki home was destroyed by fire two years ago, leaving just ruins behind. The incident, which drew a wave of support from fans, coworkers, and entertainment industry professionals, momentarily uprooted the comic and his family.
As soon as the refurbished property was unveiled, AY was inundated with congratulations on social media.
