Woli Arole Appeals for Befitting Burial for Late Gospel Singer Toluwanisings.

Woli Arole’s Burial Appeal for Toluwanisings Moves Many Online
Nigerian comedian and preacher Woli Arole has appealed to those involved in the burial disagreement surrounding late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, to allow him to receive a befitting burial.
Arole made the emotional appeal in a video shared on his Instagram page on Monday, November 2, 2026. He described the late singer as a great talent whose death had deeply affected friends, colleagues and loved ones.
According to Vanguard, Arole said the loss was particularly painful because Toluwanisings died while still in his prime. He urged those involved in the disagreement to put aside their differences and allow the burial arrangements to proceed peacefully.
He also expressed disappointment over people allegedly using the burial controversy to attract attention on social media. He questioned why public discussions were focusing on arguments rather than the singer's wife and two children, who were left behind.
Arole further maintained that no burial disagreement could destroy the singer's legacy. He urged the public to redirect their attention towards preserving Toluwanisings' music and supporting his wife and children.
The appeal has drawn attention online, with many people expressing sympathy for the bereaved family and supporting Arole's call for peace. Some social media users have also emphasised the importance of allowing the family to mourn without unnecessary public arguments.
Toluwanisings, whose real name was Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, died on October 14, 2026. His burial arrangements became controversial following disagreements among family members over where he should be laid to rest.
Arole's message has therefore renewed conversations about respecting the dead, supporting grieving families and protecting the legacy of people who made meaningful contributions to society.
As discussions continue, many Nigerians are hoping that the disagreements will be resolved peacefully and that the late gospel singer will receive the dignified farewell he deserves.
