The actor battled with his health and was admitted on several occasions due to diabetes and high blood pressure. He received donations from many actors, including TAMPAN, after which he traveled for treatment abroad.

The actor was born on August 22, 1958, Baba Suwe gained mainstream recognition after he was featured in the movie ‘Omolasan’.

His fame grew following his feature in ‘Iru Esin’. The Lagos State indigene started acting in 1971 and has featured and produced several Nigerian movies.

In 2011, he was accused of cocaine trafficking by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) but the allegation was dismissed by a Lagos High Court. The actor had said in interviews that the experience crippled his health. In 2019, Baba Suwe through the generosity of friends was flown to the United States for the treatment of diabetes.

Here are the reactions on social media:

Babatunde Omidina, aka Baba Suwe, thank you so very much for bringing so much happiness and joy into our homes. May your soul rest in peace.https://t.co/4La4XPFkNk pic.twitter.com/5ahtwp92vW

Like millions of fellow citizens, I received with sadness the news of the passing of the Nigerian star actor, Babatunde Omidina, aka Baba Suwe. He brought smiles on the faces of Nigerians and will be sorely missed. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss. RIP. pic.twitter.com/2yqvBmDOKp

Woli Arole went round states, looking for Nollywood legends & he honored Babasuwe while alive despite health challenges.

I won’t say he was neglected but we can take care of them while still alive.

RIP Legend of comedy!

— POOJA… (@PoojaMedia) November 22, 2021

Baba Suwe! Legend Forever! May Your soul rest in perfect peace. 🤍

— DeboMacaroni (@mrmacaronii) November 22, 2021

The problem with the Davido charity donation, is the same problem with Baba Suwe dying, and with a million other things.

Raising money is only half the problem, if not the minor issue.

Accurately deploying money where it can efficiently do the maximum good is the real problem.
