She wrote, “We weren’t close, but I loved your craft, and you were indeed so funny and talented, i appreciated your support for @toyin_abraham, and I wrote “The Inlaws episode 2 & 3, and I insisted a role be written in your name and given to you to act 😔… yesterday i told my production manager to get in touch with you today …… been busy all day, and boom, i got the shocking sad news from Toyin 😔 ……. life is indeed so short
“RIP Sisi Quadir 🤍🕊 may God grant your family the fortitude to bear their loss 🙏. Can our leaders in the industry open a health support account for actors & crew members so that we can always put little tokens into it, that will come in handy when members need medical support, it can be used to support them …….
“The industry is large…. we plenty, a collective effort will go a long way. just a suggestion.”
