Popular Nollywood actress Kemi Afolabi Adesipe has made a heartfelt public appeal to help locate her long-lost childhood friend. The Yoruba movie star took to her Instagram platform to initiate the search, driven by a series of concerning dreams.
Dreams Prompt Emotional Search
The actress revealed that the decision to launch the search came after she kept seeing visions of her friend, Maria Stephen Seun, in her dreams. These recurring dreams left Kemi Afolabi feeling worried and determined to confirm her friend's safety and well-being. She expressed a deep desire to reconnect and ensure Maria is not facing any trouble or distress.
Details of the School Day Friendship
To aid the search, Kemi provided specific details about their shared past. She stated that she and Maria were classmates at Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School in Yaba, Lagos. They were part of the 1998 graduating set. The actress also recalled another mutual friend from that time named Ebun, although she could not remember Ebun's surname or current Instagram handle, which complicated direct contact.
In her Instagram post, Kemi Afolabi wrote a direct appeal: "Looking for my lost loved one (friend) Maria Stephen Seun... I keep seeing Maria in my dreams and I just want to be sure she is okay and not in any trouble whatsoever?" She asked anyone with relevant information to contact her via Instagram comments or direct messages, using the hashtag #lookingformylosslovedone.
Netizens Rally with Support and Leads
The online community quickly responded to the actress's emotional plea. Many followers shared the post to widen the search, while others offered practical suggestions. One user, @abebiaddey, shared specific memories from their school days, recalling Kemi's neatness and her seatmate. Another, @bibbyscakes, offered to post the appeal in alumni groups.
Several suggestions from netizens included checking alumni WhatsApp groups, posting on the school's potential social media pages, and even using platforms like TikTok to broaden the reach. The public reaction shows a collective hope for a positive reunion and has sparked conversations about reconnecting with old friends.
This incident follows previous shows of support from Kemi Afolabi towards her colleagues. She recently defended fellow actress Mercy Aigbe from online trolls after a fire incident at Mercy's home in December 2024, urging netizens to show compassion.
