Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has opened up about the deep pain of losing his father, sharing a rare and emotional account during a recent conversation on the Jay On Air TV podcast.
According to Timini, he entered 2026 feeling optimistic, hopeful that the year would be a great one. However, that optimism was shattered on January 1, 2026, when he found out that his father had passed away. The actor revealed that although his father had been ill, the family remained hopeful until the very end.
Timini admitted that the loss completely drained his positive energy, noting that he had never experienced grief on that level before. He explained that none of his close relatives had died previously, making the loss of his father his first real encounter with deep grief. He also shared that he and his father had a very close and healthy relationship, which made the loss even more painful.
Reflecting on the experience, Timini said one of the biggest lessons death has taught him is that life must continue. According to him, grief does not excuse absence you still have to move on, you still have to show up, and you still have to promote your movie.
The moment became even more emotional as podcast host Jay On Air resonated with Timini’s story, revealing that he also has a sick father, creating a shared moment of vulnerability between both men.
The interview has since touched many viewers online, with fans praising Timini for his honesty, strength, and willingness to speak openly about grief, healing, and responsibility in the face of personal loss.
