The ongoing public controversy surrounding the final resting place of late Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popular as Toluwanisings, has taken another dramatic turn after well-known entrepreneur and social commentator Wale Jana shared his perspective on the family dispute!
Following reports of a disagreement between the late singer’s father and widow over where Toluwanisings should be buried, Wale Jana took to social media to offer practical and emotional advice to the family, cautioning against burying the deceased in his primary family residence.
In a strongly worded statement, Jana argued: “Don’t bury a man in the only house he built for his wife and children. Doing so creates lasting trauma and makes it emotionally difficult for the surviving family to continue living there peacefully.”
He emphasized that laying a beloved father to rest directly inside or on the grounds of his sole home often turns a sanctuary of comfort into a site of daily grief for the young widow and growing kids, making it hard for them to move forward emotionally.
Jana urged both sides of the family—the late singer’s father and his widow—to prioritize wisdom, peace, and the long-term emotional well-being of the grieving children when finalizing the funeral site.
His post has sparked widespread conversations across X, Instagram, and Facebook, with fans and public commentators weighing the cultural expectations of paternal wishes against the practical needs of young grieving families.
