PATHETIC; ONYINYE OSADEBE…HIS FINAL MOMENTS *THE TOUCHING TRIBUTE BY ONE OF HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS

Late Chief Onyinye Osadebe

The world is still in shock over the death of Onyinye Osadebe, a son of late highlife music Lord Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe

Onyinye was a popular musician with several CDs and albums to show. His stage craft was legendary as fans rekindled interest in his all achieving father through his voice and act; reason he was called afunwa elota nna. Translated to; a person whom you see and remember the father with many striking resemblances.

Little Onyinye with late Osita Osadebe

The graduate of Applied Microbiology and Brewing from Enugu state university
died in the afternoon of Tuesday 26^th of March 2019 throwing his immediate family and friends and the world of entertainment into mourning especially when the family also lost another son during the last over- flooding of the River Niger.

It was a solemn post by Ugboma Chinonso Hillary with a burning candle on a black canvas that rattled members of Ogbaru Political Summit, a popular watsapp group at 9.20 pm on that Tuesday. Many did not even know he was ill. Those who knew about his brief but not yet announced ailment never thought it would take his life.

His post;

“Really do not know how to say this but must acknowledge that it is a “Black Tuesday” for most of us

Adieu my brother my friend,  Chief Onyinye Benjamin Osadebe ( Afunwa Elota Nna)

As members of the forum were coming to terms with the sad news, the highly prolific and prodigious Ugboma went further to fire this soulful tribute to a dear friend. It also throws more light into the final moments. He posted it at 10pm about forty minutes after his first salvo. I consider it a classic.

Onyinye...Live on stage

ONYII,

You fought so hard to survive this. You were optimistic till on Sunday.

It was not about finances,  It was not about payers, It was not about friends and relatives. These were all there for you.

Yet the cruel hands of death never allowed you conquer this.

You remain a hero even until your death this afternoon.

I met you breathing though speechless.

But you wanted to whisper something to Obinwa your beloved sister.

Unfortunately the hands of death have seized your speech organ that you could not utter that important final word.

That was the worst 5 minutes that I imagined. You left us but I know you are seeing us from there.

I know you are not happy leaving now but the grace to choose eluded you.

We are all mourning hoping it is not true.

Unfortunately it is true because I witnessed it

Your dreams… who will live it?

Who will cuddle Obinwa?

I have many questions but are you going to answer it?

Au revoir nwokem……By Ugboma Chinonso Hillary

GANIYU JOHNSON’S AIDE NELLY OKAFOR UNDER FIRE *FOR USING AND DUMPING COLLEAGUES….she no longer picks calls says P.A.

Nelly on her birthday

There is this unpalatable news spreading in the neighbourhood that Hon. Nelly Okafor, top aide to Hon. Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson the elected House of Reps candidate for Oshodi Isolo 11 has abandoned her colleagues in the struggle to clinch the election victory.

The unsavory gist says that the campaign group which helped in galvanizing the vote and support of other ethnicities in the constituency is currently in disarray with members scattered.

According to the stories, immediately after Johnson’s House of Reps election was won, Hon. Nelly dumped her field men, stopped picking her calls, got another phone line and moved on. Her colleagues are alleging that Hon. Johnson gave her N20 million to disburse to the group, but that she allegedly kept the cash all to herself.

Everywhere one went, the story is same of how the Enugu state born fashion designer and boutique owner is seemingly on her own enjoying the spoils of the election alone  allegedly abandoning even her P.A. and main political adviser, an Igbo red cap chief from  one of the South eastern states who deployed his entire life to her service before and during the run up to the elections.

ECD learnt that her hard working P.A. who abandoned his job to join the campaign train has taken a job as a security officer at a new joint in the locality to make ends meet while her political and private adviser is busy licking his wounds.

Said an inside source “Nelly has abandoned all of us o. If anyone told me that Nelly will use and dump us in the struggle, I will never believe it.”

Says another who joined the campaign and marched across Ejigbo, Isolo, Ilasa and all over Oshodi Isolo 11during the entire political campaigns “She has picked up a car and stocked her boutique to the brim with new wears and changed her life without even thinking of us. It is very unfortunate.”

Yet another who spoke with ECD “I am not saying she should share her benefits with me but at least we also need to benefit from our enormous work with her. Without the people who supported her, I don’t think that she would have achieved much but she has chosen to dump us like that. She even lavished the money in a mega birthday party. But I leave her with God”.

When Nelly was called for her reaction on the accusations of her changing lines and blowing over N20m alone, she screamed aloud with a hearty laugh.

 According to her “If they say I got N20m, I can only say Amen to that. But let me say it is not everything one will respond or react to. However  I am used to gossips” .
