Popular Nigerian comedian, actor, and filmmaker Ayo Makun, famously known as AY, has unveiled his newly reconstructed Lekki mansion exactly two years after a devastating fire reduced the original structure to ashes.
Taking to Instagram, the celebrated entertainer shared an emotional video showing a powerful transformation, a split-screen montage that juxtaposed heartbreaking footage of the charred ruins of his former home with stunning visuals of the luxurious new residence. The unveiling wasn’t just about bricks and mortar; it symbolized resilience, triumph over adversity, and unshakable faith.
Narrating over the video, AY reflected on the personal turmoil he endured following the 2022 inferno. “Two years ago today, everything went up in flames; my home, my peace, my comfort zone. And that was just the beginning,” he recalled. “I faced betrayal, falsehoods, and storms designed to crush all I had built.”
Despite the emotional and financial toll, AY said his journey was preserved by divine grace. “I am still here, not by luck, but because God is faithful. Graves are louder than gossip, and purpose doesn’t perish in fire. While they conspire in darkness, I walk in the light. Every setback was a setup for something greater,” he declared.
