The Nigerian entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following the sudden passing of Samuel Oyindobra Egbuson, the father of beloved Nollywood stars Timini and Dakore Egbuson-Akande.
The news broke late Sunday, January 4, 2026, when Timini took to his Instagram page to share a deeply emotional tribute. Starting the year on a somber note, the award-winning actor posted a series of photos honoring his father, accompanied by a caption that resonated with thousands of fans.
"Didn’t think I’ll start the year saying this… Rest in peace, Dad," Timini wrote. "So much left unsaid, but I’ll keep making you proud."
A Wave of Condolences
As soon as the post went live, the "Nollywood Family" rallied around the siblings. Prominent figures including Funke Akindele, Mercy Aigbe, and Gabriel Afolayan flooded the comment section with prayers and words of comfort.
Dakore, Timini’s elder sister and a veteran in the industry, has also been met with a massive outpouring of love from the public. The Egbuson family, originally from Bayelsa State, is well-respected in the creative arts, and the loss of their patriarch marks a painful start to 2026 for them.
Legacy Over Loss
While details regarding the cause of death have not been made public, Timini’s message focused on the future—a promise to uphold the legacy his father left behind. For many fans, the phrase "so much left unsaid" served as a poignant reminder of the complex emotions that come with losing a parent.
We extend our deepest condolences to Timini, Dakore, and the entire Egbuson family during this difficult time.
